Married 10-Oct-1931
Frederick and Clara married in the Registrar's Office of West Ham two years after Frederick's first wife, Elizabeth, died.|
Husband:
Frederick Dawson Grimwood Born: 1868 Died: 7-Nov-1934 Father: Harry William Grimwood Mother: Elizabeth Rose Dawson Other Spouses: Elizabeth Squire Other 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. |
