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, who had been a musician in the Royal Marines until at least 1911, had already emigrated to Canada, and had married Mary Hamilton, with whom he had had a son, Ernest Frederick. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian Regiment and fought at Vimy Ridge; 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.

Both Ernest and Arthur are listed on the Rampton War Memorial page, where further details of their service can be found.
