He married my grandmother Minnie Edwards in 1916 and they had one daughter and two sons. During the First World War Frederick was in a reserved ocupation as a turner.

Martha Swadling (c1773-1844)
According to the 1841 census in Brightwell Baldwin, Oxon, she was born in the county. I know little about her except she married Anthony Smith in BB in 1799 and produced 4 children:
John 1801
Nellie 1802
William 1807
John 1808

I am descended from William Smith 1807 who married in the nick of time to Maria Shepherd then came to Western Australia in 1842.

Has anyone lost a Martha Swadling at all?
