I believe that Frederick summers was my great great grandad. He had a son
William who was born in 1892, sadly Frederick died shortly after. The 1901
census lists Annie A Summers, step daughter, aged 14, and William Summers,
stepson, aged 8, plus Frances A Freeman, now married to Joseph Freeman, and a
son Thomas Freeman, aged 3. *
