Individual Note (shared)

He died on 7th April 1901 at Fulham Infirmary from Cerebral Haemorrage/Coma. His occupation is given as House Painter (Journeyman) of 2 Seagrave Road, Fulham. His brother John Robert registered the death on 10th April 1901.

 

According to family hearsay Fredrick William had left the family at some stage prior to his death and Harriet, his wife, could not keep the family together and it seems that her son George was put into a Barnardo’s Home and sent to Canada in 1899 at the age of 10. (See entry written by him in the book entitled ‘The Home Children’). His sister Harriet did not go to Canada as she was 15 years old and had gone into service.

 

Their daughter Grace later preceded her mother Harriett to Canada and Harriett herself went to Bracebridge, Ontario, via Quebec, having travelled steerage from Liverpool in 1910. She seems to have left Fred, who was 14, in England but took Bert who was a couple of years younger with her. Fred stayed with Mary Jane Penfold at the Chapter Street flat in Westminster and attended Millbank School. He subsequently went to Canada, joined Harriett and Bert where he found employment.

 

Their oldest daughter Harriett, known as Hetty, became Mrs. Ward, had five children and remained in England” (From Diana Smith)
