    General event Biography notes : It is thought (why?) that Frederick moved to a farm in Kaniva (near Nhill) because he did not get on with Henry's second wife (Margaret Rutherford).  
    General event Siblings : Frederick jnr adamantly told Heather Laycock in 1985 that there were only two offspring of Henry & Fanny - his own father (Frederick snr) and William. But in this profile, we have taken it that Henry & Fanny had seven children, including Frederick. And Margaret was the mother of William.
