Trying to find my great grandfather Frederick John KIng. He appears in 1911 census as being born in Tarrant Gunville, Dorset and living In Donhead Wiltshire. He has been married 15 years to Emma Jane Gray. In 1901 he is named as Fred N King living in Donhead with Emma but it says born in Dorset only. Could anyone help me find his parents please.

How old was he in 1911 ?

His marriage certificate would give you his father's name.

Marriages Mar 1896

GRAY Emma Jane - Tisbury 5a 271
King Frederick John - Tisbury 5a 271

His marriage cert should give you his father's name.

Hi Kathleen. This is a bit odd.
On Ancestry there is a tree listed. Frederick John King . wife Emma Jane Gray and listed are their children. This shows birth Tarrant Guunville. Dorset, and shows 1871 living in Yeovil. Somerset with Ann King. Widow. and John King. 16. Frederick is shown as born in Ilchester. Somerset.
1881. Fred King. 16. Born Ilminster. Pupil Teacher.
yet on later census records he is shown as a farm worker.
His marriage has already been given. I think you need to get a copy of the certificate as this should show the Father's name and occupation(maybe) as he appears to be desceased at the time)Ethel.

Thankyou for all replies. Frederick was born in 1865 in 1911 census. So aged 46. I will order a marriage cert. In 1911 I could not find a George (1833) but the rest are definitely the right family.

Frederick John King's father was called James on his marriage certificate.
So thankyou to all my replies.

Possible James listed as married 40 years]

No idea on this one - a tree on Ancestry has a possible Frederick John Hiscock, EDIT just Frederick, alias King, parents James Hiscock alias King, and Emma Poore:

I wouldn't accept this without proper investigation - but it won't be the first time people have changed their names!

I think you need to make contact with the person on Ancestry. Do you have an Ancestry subscription? I can't find the King family in Dorset, but I CAN find the Hiscocks.

This maybe the answer as i dont seem to be able to find Frederick before his marriage in 1896. Lots of James Kings so i dont know which is the right one.

Do you have a subscription to Ancestry Kathleen? There are actually a couple of people with Frederick John King in their trees, but no mention of Hiscock.

Have tried to make contact with the Hiscocks , awaiting reply . It looks as though it could match up as the tree I looked at did not have any record of Fred after 1881.

Yes, that's right Kathleen. So someone has made the connection between King and Hiscock - and you need to know how and why.

Still awaiting replies from two Hiscock trees. I have found F J Hiscock in1891 census in Donhead so probably is the F J King that I was looking for. He was married to Emma in1896.
