Nice one Vera, death looks good.

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but Frederica looks to have possibly married and become Walker:-

For info:-

Births Mar 1860 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GAMMON Frederica Alice Mary Medway 2a 376
The district Medway is in the county of Kent

To trace him accurately, the marriage cert is essential - it will tell you his age, as well as the info detailed above by Catherine

EDIT

Catherine has added to her post -confirming my statement

Their marriage certificate will give you his father's name and occupation which will help find, or confirm any early census records.

Marriages Jun 1859 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Claringbold Susanna Harriett Medway 2a 441
Gammon Frederick Medway 2a 441
Morgain James Medway 2a 441
Morgam James Medway 2a 441
Ogbourn Sarah Medway 2a 441


.............it will also give you his age at the time of the marriage so you can work out his date of birth.

I'm trying to trace my 3rd great grandfather Frederick Gammon. All I know is that he married Sarah Ogbourn in 1859 and lived at Chatham, Kent. They had a child, Frederica Alice Mary in February 1860. In 1862 Sarah remarries Richard Naylor and is listed as a widow, but i can't find a death for Frederick who I do know was a seaman in the Royal Navy when his daughter was born.

Any assistance very gratefully received.
