My goodness! What a tremendous research effort-thank you very much. The St. George's Rifles makes perfect sense - Frederick was born in the district of St. George, Hanover Square and his family continued to live their for quite some time. I was aware that he died in 1900...the National Probate Calendar shows that probate was granted to William Forster, woollen draper and to Frederick Charles Fisher, surgeon. The latter was the husband of his sister Clara...and my husband's maternal great grandfather. As neither Frederick nor his brother Henry had children, his sister Clara must have inherited many of his possessions-and hence they came to my husband. Interesting family...his father was of the Meyer & Mortimer military outfitters (Now located Savile Row)..and his grandfather Thomas Jackson Mortimer, one of the famed Mortimer gunsmiths. Thank you again for your help - very much appreciated.
