Frederick Abraham
Frederick was born in Tring 4th May 1873 and was baptised there 11th Apr 1875. He was the eldest child of Henry Abraham, a railway platelayer and his wife Eliza, (née Cutler).
When Frederick was 18 the family moved to Fog (now Fox) Cottages, Tring railway station and he and his 13 year old brother William were working as coal carters, presumably for the railway.
By the 1911 census Frederick was employed as a bricklayer’s labourer and was living at 87, George Street as a lodger with two other labourers in the house of Isabella Richardson.
He married Elizabeth Foskett in Berkhamsted on the 5th August 1912 at the age of forty. (Elizabeth’s first husband, William Foskett, is buried in the cemetery)
In October 1922 his sister Agnes died and left him over £300 in her will. She was also buried in Rectory Hill cemetery.
By the time of the 1919 Register Frederick had lost Elizabeth and was living alone at 56, High Street. His occupation is given as Herts County Council roadman, but as he was then 73, he was presumably retired.
He died in 1944 in Berkhamsted.
