- According to his obit, he was age 86 at his death in Jan 1995, which would place his birth in 1908. While this is certainly possible, two facts seem to contradict this. First, he does not appear in the 1911 Census. Also, his sister Edna, who wa born Feb 1991 was born in Berwick yet the family is living in Middelton in the 1991 Census. So it would seem that the family moved from Berwick to Middleton in the Spring of 1911, and Fred's obit tells us that he was born in Middleton. Thus it would seem more likely that the age at death given in his obit is wrong and that he was born after 1911.
