Biography

Born in 1873 at Worcestershire, UK. Married Susan Green at Rosario, Argentina on 2/12/1902. According to his marriage record his occupation was Commercial Agent.

The children's birthplaces and passenger list records show that the family moved about quite a bit. For example, first child born in Rosario, Argentina (1903); next two born Varaparaiso, Chile (1903 and 1907); Sao Paulo, Brazil (1909); London, England (1911 Census - Susanna and children only); White Plains, NY (1921).

In an Aug-1919 Liverpool to New York Immigration record he gives his wife as contact and their address as 25 Devon Road, Bedford, England.

According to 1920 New York Passenger list and 1940 US Census Transcription Susan and children were living in Westchester, New York between 1920 and 1935... presumably Frederick died in New York, unless he was travelling at the time?

Crossed border Mexico to Texas in 1925. The 1 May 1925 Immigration record (Laredo, Texas Index of Arrivals) states his age as 50 years and birthplace as Winchester, England and last and future residence as New York. He is going to Laredo, Texas to join his wife and accompanied by a servant. His occupation is exporter. His son Frederick makes the same trip in December 1925.

Death date 10 Jan 1925 per wife's 1940 California, Federal Naturalization Record (yet to find Frederick's death/burial record).
