jimmy87notts 22 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 My Great X 9 Grandmother was called Ellen freak, Born in 1612 in Gunthorpe. Wife of Robert Blatherwick 1610 - 1645. Has anybody else come across this last name before? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 There were a family called Blatherwick that lived on Garden City (Off of Cavendish Road) in Carlton in the 1960/70s, they lived at around number 20 through 26 but I can't be more precise than that. The son was known as Johnny and was about 10/15 years older than me , making him well the wrong side 60 now. I've rang my Mum to see if she can furnish me with any more details but she too didn't remember when they left or to where. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I've never come across any Freaks, but I have met a few freaks (no the initial capital!) in my time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,449 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 If you look at Find My Past and search Ellen Freak, it produces several results, so I guess there would ultimately be a connection.

mick2me 3,033 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 There was a Police Inspector Sid Blatherwick stationed at Nottingham Central (1970s) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Lots of hits for the surname Freak on the Familysearch site, and free, although not complete https://familysearch.org/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Don't know whether you lot are trying to be too helpful too fast (IE not reading the initial post correctly) But it was information on people with the name Blatherwick that Jimmy87notts was asking after Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,449 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 That's true Beefy, and is the point which people (myself included) seem to have missed. However, giving the thread a title of Ellen Freak is probably the source of the understandable confusion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
annswabey 599 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I assumed this too. Blatherwick is a known name, though, isn't it? Freak seems much more unusual. Perhaps he means surname, by "this last name" rather than the last name mentioned in his message. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
