Molly,
Thank you for your note. I am now not certain that Frederick was my ancestor. can you post more information for me please. My great grandfather was called Albert on his death, but he had been to prison and therefore I think that he may have been born with another name. By all accounts he moved from Birmingham to Sheffield where he was a fruiterer - hence the connection with Frederick.He married Elizabeth Manders but he was charged with her assault and I think they parted. They had 2 children - Rose, who stayed in Birmingham and Albert who moved to Chesterfield. Can you ask your family if they recall if we are related and if they can give me any more information as I am at a dead end. Thank you.
