FREDERICK JOHN LANE; 1869 – 1906
Frederick was the oldest of eight children born to Frederick Quincey Lane and Eliza Lane. The Lane family owned a flourishing nursery business in which Frederick’s father worked. His father, as well as a being nurseryman, was also a brewer, the Lane family having become involved in the brewery business when Frederick’s grandfather, John Edward Lane, acquired the Swan Inn and brewery. Frederick’s mother Eliza, was a noted journalist and editor of the Constitutional Magazine which was first published in Berkhamsted in 1888.
Frederick was born in 1869 and baptised on 3rd November that year. The family lived on Berkhamsted’s High Street next to the George Public House. At the time of the census in 1891, Frederick, then 21 years of age and still living in the family home, had followed in his father’s footsteps to become nurseryman. He no doubt started out in the family business, but by 1901 he seems to have struck out on his own. He had then moved to Ashley Green Farm and is described in the census return for that year as being a nurseryman and farmer. He employed Frederick and Charlotte Gutteridge, both 57 years old and who also lived at the farm with Frederick. Frederick Gutteridge assisted with the farm work whilst Charlotte kept house.
Frederick never married and died at the young age of 36 of tuberculosis. He died at Farnham Sanatorium which had been opened in 1901 to provide treatment to sufferers of Tuberculosis.
Frederick was buried in Rectory Lane Cemetery and was joined by his younger brother Henry Vials Lane when he died in 1941 and also Henry’s wife Beatrice who died in 1972.
