He was Frank King born either 1873 0r 1871, in Ireland. Well "I" want to know, he died before I was born. I am hoping that someone may have had a KING family member mention a family from Ireland that moved to England...lets guess about 1885. The family business was at that time training funeral horses to pull hearses. I don't know how common that could have been!!! I know somewhere out there there has to be someone with a connection to a lost relative....like his older sister, Florence King, a nurse. There was also another sister but never a name for me for her. Common sense dictates that...he (frank) has other relatives. The sister Florence, went to the USA, Boston. Frank also came to North America. He was in Montana, and settled in Alberta, Canada. While in England after the family relocated there he didn't care for the horse business and "ran away" to join the Royal Navy. His mother, of which we have No Clue to identity, "bought" him out so the tale goes. He was supposed to be 14 at the time. I am SO hoping because he was so independent that one of you "out there" can relate to this story.
