Elizabeth Freke

Documented line (per the family chart). Chart: "of Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset". Baptised 25 Feb 1607/8 (Old Style), Okeford Fitzpaine, Dorset; father William Freke (Dorset CofE Baptisms - Ancestry record, confirmed against the chart). CHRONOLOGY CORRECTION: the chart draws her as Francis Bernard's MOTHER, which is impossible (b.1607 vs his settling Castle Mahon by 1639); she is recorded here as his WIFE and Catherine Bernard's mother. The chart should be amended to match. Backfilled from the family chart (Damery_Family_Tree.html), June 2026. [DIRECT ANCESTOR OF THE COMPILER: flag added 24 Jul 2026 by walking the tree from Aynsley, so that this marker is reliable and can be searched.] ||26 Oct 2026|| Second daughter wired (~): Mary Bernard, wife of John Freke of Garrettstown and mother of Anne (Freke) Smith of Carrick/Downeen - so the Smyths of Castle Downeen (Eliza Hester Smyth's line) descend from Francis Bernard and Elizabeth Freke twice, via Catherine (Beamish) and via Mary (Freke-Smith). Grade ~: thepeerage/Hingston only; see Mary's record for the uncle-niece difficulty.

Marriage: Francis Bernard x Elizabeth Freke (corrected: chart drew Elizabeth a generation too deep).
