Frederick born on Christmas day 1877 in Gateshead was the 9th and final child born to his parents. He would be just four years old when is father died in 1882. Sometime after 1891 and before 1897 he moved out of the family home to Catherine Street in West Sunderland the location on his marriage certificate. Marrying Mary Ann Hughes on 28th September 1897 he was just 19 years old though his age is recorded as 21 on the certificate. He was employed as a 'Plater' in the shipyards a semi-skilled welding work. Mary Ann lived in Ryhope much nearer the docks. Recorded on the 1901 census in St Cuthbert's Street, this was probably in West Sunderland near the many shipyards. They lodged in Mary's mother house Sarah Hughes and her two brothers, their first child Sarah with them born in late 1900. By the time James was born in 1906 they had moved 12 Margaret Street the address given on the marriage certificate for Mary Ann. In 1911 Frederick is lodging with James Cockburn at 93 Victoria Road in Leeds close to Water Lane both had worked as platers in the shipbuilding industry but were now called 'boiler makers' which also involves working with steel plates. As there is no war record for Frederick I would presume that his occupation was an excluded from conscription. The remainder of his life is unclear, he certainly moved at some stage to Leeds with his family as his grandson remembers visiting him. He died in 1953 age 75 at the time living at 6 Cross Monkton Street in Hunslet his occupation is given as, retired Foreman Steel Erector (Gas Works). By 1906, Hunslet was home to Leeds’ second largest gas works, on Meadow Lane. The cause of death is Myocardial Degeneration, this is often used as a euphemism for Old Age. It is probable that he was taken back to Bishopwearmouth for burial or cremation as no record exists in Leeds.
