Male  Child 1:   Frederick Dawson Grimwood

Born: 1868
Died: 7-Nov-1934
Spouse: Elizabeth Squire, Clara F.E. Chapman
Children: Daisy Edith Grimwood, Marguerita (Ena) Grimwood, Benjamin Squire Grimwood, Lily Victoria Grimwood, Rose Victoria Grimwood, Dorothe Camillia Olive Grimwood

Occupation: Frederick Grimwood was first a licenced Victualler (someone licensed to sell alcoholic drink), later a domestic gardener, and then a 'Typewriter Ribbon Machine Operator'.
It appears that Frederick and Elizabeth Grimwood had no financial difficulties as they appear to have received payments for licence fees for a patent that Reuben, Elizabeth's first husband, had developed with a partner.

During the first years of their marriage the financial situation was such that it was not necessary for Frederick to earn money.  However in 1906 he started work as a gardener for Mr Robert Clarke, the owner of "Oakhurst", a mansion built in Walthamstow in 1750.  Mr Clarke had some enlargements made to the house on St Peters Place for Frederick, including a new room large enough for the whole family to be seated around one big table.

During the first World War Frederick started to work for the "Caribonum Company", a typewriter factory.  His daughter Olive (our Auntie Olive) later also worked at this factory.
