GEORGE THOMAS FREEMAN (1857-1958)
George Thomas FREEMAN was born Feb 5, 1857 in Toronto, Ontario; parents unknown at this time. His mother may have been Sarah COUSINS.
In the 1906 Census at Parkdale, MB (Lot 22) enumerated a George FREEMAN, age 46 (born c1860 in Ontario). His wife’s name was Margaret, age 36 (born 1871 in Scotland. His age and location suggests this is our George, but the wife named Margaret is a puzzler.
In the 1911 census George is recorded in St Andrews Parish (Gonor) as a 42 year old Engineer born in Ontario.
Marriage to Alice May SLATER
On Feb 29, 1912 George married Alice May SLATER in Selkirk.
