Hi John,
So pleased to see this information online; we are cousins, uncle Fred was my uncle too! He married my auntie Beryl but was sadly killed before I was born.
I have sent a photograph to the website for them to add to his page.
I have some other photos of their wedding, feel free to get in touch if you’d like me to email them to you.
Warm wishes,
Jean
Hi Jean good to hear from you
Yes I would appreciate any information you have on uncle Fred.
My mother Constance mary Cartwright was Fred’s sister
I will be going out to France in a couple of weeks time and will pay our respects while out there
Regards John
Hi John, I have only just seen your reply to me. Sorry for the delay.
I was told that my Aunty Beryl and your Uncle were childhood sweethearts. I have a bible my Nanny gave to him at Christmas in 1937. They married in 1941.
Sadly I don’t know how to download load photos.
Kind regards
Jean

Hi – I am doing some research into the people on the war memorial board at St Paul’s Church Bordesley Green, Birmingham, and would be interested to hear any more information about Frederick. I’d like to make an information board on some of the people we commemorate so that local kids on school visits can learn more. Please do get in touch if you have anything to share. Many thanks!
