Born London, emigrated to Canada in the early 1900s. He probably spent the rest of his life there and was still known to be alive in the 1930s after which contact was lost.

Any other info?
Date and place of birth?
Parents?
Siblings?


Could this be him?

this looks as though it could be relevant to above:-

..........so maiden name of Jennie looks to be Cheshire.

Need a little more info though to confirm, or not, if this is your Frederick.

Hi Catherine,

Yes this is the Frederick Beck I have been searching for. I do have info up to and including his attestation papers and the Canadian 1921 census and on his side where he was born etc. It's getting a bit late tonight almost the bewitching hour so I will reply more fully tomorrow, as I presume you have more than a passing interest.

In the meantime may I ask if you are a descendent of both or Jennie's side of the family. Frederick was my great uncle, if that helps.

Hi Susan,
I don't have any connection to this family at all. I just like to help out when and wherever I can.
All the information I found was on familysearch.org. unfortunately I don't have anything else. Sorry
Regards, Catherine
