Frank Errett 1899-1982

In about 1913, at the age of 14 Frank Errett got into trouble with

the law after being caught for stealing a Kipper, he had been a golf

caddy for a gentleman who apparently vouched for his character and

thus did not recieve the full punishment befitting his crime. He was

consequently sent to a remand home (where?) With help from Salvation

Army (Records?)he joined the Regular Army.

He served in Northern Ireland with Royal Artillery before the 1914-18

war, and served in Eygpt in during the war.

In the1920's he became a civilian chef at the Lulworth Army Camp in

Dorset . Probably for Officers Mess, possibly served Duke of

Gloucester.

He was likely to have met T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) who was famously

stationed at Bovington

Having met his wife Edith who was from the town of Stockbridge, the

daughter of Frederick and Druscilla Tarrant. The couple had lived at

New Street, Stockbridge above shop owned by the TABOR family. Also

residence of sister Ethel Tarrant. In 1922 the couple had their first

child, a daughter named Monica Muriel. At this time they were living

in Lulworth at a house known as "Whiteways"

Edith had worked as an assistant at the Stockbridge railway station

no record has been found to substantiate this but a photograph exists

of Edith on the station platform with a soldier, allegedly her

sweetheart, and other railway staff.

In 1924 Frank and Edith had their second daughter Olive born in

Stockbridge.

According to third daughter Una who was born in 1926, some time

shortly after the war, Frank had a Fish and Chip Shop in Stockbridge

possibly in a converted out-building behind the corner shop in the

New/High Street owned by the TABOR family.

His transportation was a motor bike with a sidecar which was coffin
