The children of Mary Margaret Barrand and Edward Freemantle children –

Beatrice Mary, was first, born on 20^th March, 1881, Birth Ref: Hackney- 1^st Qtr (1b - 549) at 14 Avenue Road, Hackney, and she married Hugh James Young (1874 - 1917) on the 30^th March, 1907, Marriage Ref: Hackney 1907 - 1st Qtr (1b - 629). Hugh was employed as an optical instrument maker but died in Fulham on the 30th March, 1917. They lived at Hambalt Road in Clapham with Doris Lambert, the daughter of Hugh’s sister Edith and her husband, Edward Lambert a watchmaker. There were no children from the marriage. After Hugh’s death at the Western Hospital, Fulham, Beatrice Mary who was a school teacher, re-married to Robert Gavin Magnus-Hannaford O.B.E. (b 03/03/1895-1986) on the 2^nd July, 1921. Marriage Ref: Hackney 1921 - 3^rd Qtr (1b - 917). Robert Gavin Magnus-Hannaford was a past principal of the College for Distributive Trades in London and also a Professor of retailing at the University of Pittsburg. He wrote a book called "selling and Salesmanship" concerned with training and distributive trades. The 1939 census gives Beatrice’s birth date as 13^th December, 1880.

After the death of Beatrice at the age of 76, on 29^th June, 1957, at Ruislip, Death Ref: 1957 Harrow, Sept (5f – 299) – (see probate record) Robert Gavin Magnus-Hannaford re-married the following year to Daphne A. Smith. According to the family tree on Ancestry (sueharrison22 – Kelly Tree), Robert Magnus-Hannaford and Beatrice had 3 children, but I can only find two – Geoffrey, born in 1922 and Margaret, born in 1924. Robert Gavin Magnus-Hannaford died on 7th March, 1986, aged 91.

Edward Ivor was born in 1882 and baptised on the 4^th March, 1883. Birth Ref: Hackney 1882 - 4^th Qtr (1b - 569) He married Dorothy Butcher (b 4th December 1894) in May, 1922, Marriage Ref: Hackney 1922 - 2^nd Qtr (1b - 717) and they had 3 children – Mark E., born in 1923, Margaret F, born in 1926 and finally Richard M, born in 1930. Because they (or their partners) may still be living and also their children, it would not be appropriate to divulge any further information. Edward died on March 16th, 1946 in Fleet, Hampshire, and Dorothy died on 7th July, 1980 in Hook, Hampshire at the age of 85.

Child number 3 was Major, born on 26^th March, 1887. Birth Ref: Hackney 1887 - 2^nd Qtr (1b - 533) He married Winifred Elizabeth Treganowan (b 09/11/1883-1971) on the 4^th December, 1918 in Edmonton. Marriage Ref: Edmonton 1919 - 1^st Qtr (3a - 955). Winifred was a daughter of Albert Edward Treganowan and Mary Jane Goss. Major died in October, 1970 in Rochford and Winifred died in Rochford in 1971. I do not know if they had any children.

The final child was Doris Frances, born in 1896 Birth Ref: Hackney 1896 - 1^st Qtr (1b - 502) She certainly shows on the 1911 census for Hackney as a student. Her father, Edward Freemantle had died by 1911. By 1922, Doris’s occupation is noted as a schoolmistress, and her address is 70, Nightingale Road in Upper Clapton, as it was in the 1911 census. In 1922, Mary Francis is shown as a 1^st class passenger on the SS Gleniffes, sailing to Malasia.

Malcolm Ernest Barrett was born in 1898 in Dalston, London, the son of Ernest Alfred Barrett (a Solicitor’s Clerk) and Rosina Hull. Ernest Barrett (Malcolm’s father) was born in 1875 in Worcester and Rosina Hull was born in Bethnal Green in 1878 and they were married in Hackney in September, 1896. They also had another son, Geoffrey T.G., born in 1908, and who married Ivy Willmott in 1942 and also a daughter Eileen Margaret, born in 1910, and she married Arthur Banks in 1933. It is possible there were more children born after 1912, but I am not sure.

Malcolm Ernest became a tea planter and travelled to Malasia on 11^th January, 1921 at the age of 22. Doris went out to Malasia the following year on 11^th October, 1922, and her age is shown as 26, so that confirms her birth in 1896.

I cannot find any record of Doris returning to the UK, but the next record I have is that of Malcolm E. Barrett and Mrs. Doris F. Barrett sailing to Penang on 14^th January, 1925. This being so, I can only presume that they were married in Malasia, as I cannot find any record of a marriage in England or Wales.

I also cannot find any record of the birth of their sons, Christopher Malcolm and Roger Edward F., and I presume they were born while Malcolm and Doris were abroad.

The next record I have is the family sailing to Penang in Malasia in December, 1931, where Malcolm is shown as aged 33 and still a tea planter, Doris, is shown as aged 35, Christopher (son) aged 5 and Roger (son) aged 2.

Malcolm Ernest Barrett died in Poole (Hampshire) in 1967 at the age of 69, and Doris Frances Barrett remarried at the age of 74 to William H. Taylor in London City. Doris Frances Taylor with a birth date of 27/11/1895 (this is the same birthdate of Doris Frances Freemantle from a baptism record) died in June, 1990 in Poole, Dorset, England. The National Probate and Wills of England has the probate of this Doris Frances Taylor. She died in a nursing home and the money in her estate is a large amount.

See letter to Elizabeth with details of children

In a letter from Mary Head (daughter of Walter Charles Head) she states that Doris was married to a Taylor.
