  • Notes 
    • Some trees have a WW I record for Frederick (as William Frederick)
      however, looking at it detail I believe that this is an entirely different person:Brothers: Alfred and SidneyHe gives his birthplace as Harrington in Kent.His father is listed as Frederick (could well be true of 'our' Frederick ) [8, 14]
    • In St Pancras Workhouse Register for 1906-1908 there are 2 Curtis children and a potential father:-

      Harry b. 1872 - he is a Labourer
      Henry b. 29/03/1904
      Frederick b. 17/6/1896
      All 3 have the address 56 Burton Street
      Harry was admitted on 17/10/1907 and discharged the same day
      Henry and Frederick were admitted on 31/10/1907Henry and Frederick were discharged on 01/11/1907
      Nothing to confirm that they are the correct people
