Additional Information

Frederick's work took him far and wide, and his children even further - one daughter went to Australia, and one son to Canada. He lost two sons in the First World War, within 3 months of one another; Ernest Frederick had been killed at Vimy, whilst Arthur Percy is commemorated on the Menin Gate at Ypres, one of those lost without trace as they defended the Ypres Salient. Arthur Percy had enrolled in the 8th Battalion of the Lincolnshire Regiment at Gainsborough; he told the enlistment officer that he had been born in Thames Ditton and was living in Lincoln at the time he enrolled. Ernest Frederick had already emigrated to Canada, and had married a woman called Mary, with whom he had had a son, Frederick. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Regiment; he is buried in La Chaudiere Cemetery in Vimy.

When they married in 1886, Matilda Fisher, Mary Ann's sister witnessed their marriage. Matilda was to become the second wife of Frederick's brother Jesse in 1894. In the 1891 Census, Frederick and family can be seen living in Winchester, before their move to Surrey and beyond. By 1901, they had joined Frederick's brother Jesse in St Mary Le Wigford, Lincoln.
