My Ancestors

My aunt is 95 years old and now lives in San Francisco but she talks a lot about St Johns Chapel. She was born there and went to school there. Her grandfather (John Slater Freeman) was headmaster of the school for a number of years. She was born in a large house there and the tradition was that all first borns had to be born in the house. Evidently the house is now flats.

My aunt's name was Olive Freeman.

My cousin and I are making a trip to Durham so that we can visit St Johns Chapel, somewhere we have heard a lot about.

RE: My Ancestors

Regarding the above memory, I have since learned that my Aunt's grandfather (my great grandfather) was James Slater Freeman not John Slater Freeman.
