Brief biography

Frederick (1) Woodhurst was born in 1904 to parents William (8) Woodhurst and his wife Mary Ann (nee Downey). The birth certificate [Birth Index: Southwark 1d 44, 1904 (Sept)] states that he was born on June 13th 1904 at his parents' address 31, Dodson Street in the St. George the Martyr West subdistrict of Southwark. His father's occupation was cabinet maker (journeyman) and his mother - who could not sign her name and cited it only as "Mary" - was the informant.

He may at one time have worked as a printer at Fetter Lane in Holborn in London, but his last-known address was 48, Roydon Road, Stanstead Abbots near Ware in Hertfordshire [relative's report].

He died in August 1997. The GRO reference [Death Index: 13 Je 1904, Harlow, Essex, 08/1997] curiously ascribes to him a second forename "William", which does not appear on his birth certificate.
