I had a message from Mark Foot to see if I had any information about one of his ancestors Frederick George Foot. Luckily, I found some details about him online .
No. 4716 Frederick George FOOT was born in Cerne Abbas in Dorset. In 1903 aged 18 years, he was living in Ringwood Hampshire with a William Foot and was a baker.
He was 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighed 117 lbs, with blue eyes, brown hair and a scar on his right eye brow. He was Church of England and had his medical at Winchester. His father was George Foot of Upton Wood, Cerne Abbas in Dorset.
He signed his Attestation paper for the Militia or Reserve Division on the 28th September 1903 to serve in the 3rd Battalion Dorset Regiment.
On the 30th September 1903, Frederick signed his Short Service Attestation paper and his number was changed to 6945. He was at Dorchester from the 1st October 1903 and then went to Portland on the 7th January 1904.
On 23rd February 1905 he was examined for service and was pronounced fit. On the 28th February he went to India on the S.S. Syria? On the 21st March 1905 he was admitted into hospital with syphilis. He was given medication and was “apparently much improved” by August.
He was in hospital for 5 days in November 1906, from the 7th to the 12th not sure what was wrong but medical notes say “parasite found” so maybe stomach related? On the 21st of November 1906 he was admitted into hospital with dysentery and hepatitis and then transferred from India by ship on the 7th December 1906. He arrived at Netley and died on the 13th December 1906 at 8.15pm.
A later message from Mark reads:
What can I say as you have been so incredibly helpful. For your background Frederick George Foot was one of thirteen children of George Foot and Mary Ann nee Thorne. George ten had 2 children with Annie nee Flicker and non with third wife Sarah Newton.
From the first marriage there were 6 sons. Alfred was at the Chelsea barracks.Harry born 2/5/1885. No details but photo, Frederick George with all the info you supplied and Frank 1889 -1945. I
understand he was in the navy and was at the battle of Jutland. He apparently was a deserter but later went to New Zealand and joined the services there so lots to try and discover.
Very, very many thanks for all your wonderful help.
Mark sent me a photo of Frederick's brother's Frank and Alfred and Harry but doesn't have one of Frederick.
