Mum's dad was born 30 April 1881 just missing the 1881 census, he died in Haddiscoe, Norfolk 7th March 1955 where he was staying with Elsie May Flymen his step daughter. Elsie had married Stanley Wort in 1929, he died in 1936 and Elsie re-married a John CROUCHEN in 1938.
Frederick doesn't appear on the 1911 census, there is only one Frederick Renwick shown on the GRO records for 1880-83 and a Fred Renwick appears on the passenger list for the ship Lake Champlain which left Liverpool for Montreal on the 24th May 1904, with his age given as 23, this matches my Frederick. He is listed as a railway porter, was he one of the crew?
It appears that Fred returned from Canada to join up for WW1 - brave man! I wonder if it was compulsory.
