This site doesn't pretend to be a "Family History Website" - it's just a collection of bits and pieces, a Work in Progress.

I'll be posting narratives for various of my ancestors as and when I get round to tidying them up. Names which are underlined in bold will at some point be hyperlinked to narratives for those people.

Frederick was my great-grandfather. I need to add in the births of his children to this narrative.

 

 

FAMILY TRADITION

 

Frederick’s eldest daughter, my grandmother Violet May Cook, told her niece, June, that Frederick came from Canterbury, and that his father kept a shop. Frederick was apparently the black sheep of the family, and ran away to sea, fetching up in Poole. At this stage he met Eliza “and the roaming had to stop”.
