Helen Beamont - Nesbitt's father was Freeman Frederick Thomas not Frederick Freeman -Thomas. The surname Freeman-Thomas was created by deed poll in 1891 by Helen's brother Freeman Thomas. Helen's father died in 1868. That surname never applied to her, her sisters or parents. Freeman Frederick is sometimes recorded incorrectly as Frederick Freeman. He was baptised Freeman and married Freeman but he was called Freddy by the family.
