This is a real mystery as there are cross-references to two people who seem to "share" the same family but are
called two different names as one follows the clues from 1863 right through to 1946.
Culminating in the unusual (and quite frankly bizarre claim) that the original Frederick George fathered three
children while in his 70's.
I personally think son Frederick George must be the father of the latter children.
This is a tangle which I will unravel, when I get round to it.
| Calkin, Frederick George It is believed that F.G. may be a child of Alfred Thomas ... birth certificate has been ordered. The marriage certificate of his first wedding in 1895 has "Robert" living at 60, Newnham Terrace, Hercules Road, Lambeth. Occupation on the 1895 certificate is "Upholsterer (Joineryman)". Occupation as declared in 1901 census = "Shipwright". The 1901 census has Frederick living with his wife and three daughters at, 23, East Street, Sittingbourne, Kent. The 1911 census has Robert Henry Joseph (aged 46) living with wife Emily and four children at Nettlestead, Paddock Wood, Kent. His occupation is given as "Inspector Water Works". The marriage certificate of son Reginald in 1929 has Fred's occupation as "Hotel Inspector". After his first wife Emily died in 1928, Frederick re-married in 1932 (aged "58" ?) ... The marriage certificate of this second wedding "Frederick" living at High Street, Snodland. Occupation on the 1932 certificate is "Water Inspector". and in his 70's sired THREE children, the hops must be powerfully good in Kent !! |
