Hello ,
I am hoping to find descendants of Frank House who I believe was born in Paddington 1880. He wrote a couple of books , one of which I am very interested in. The book is called A Short Record Of The 59th Siege Battery R.A.
This book is a summary of the battery in which my late grandfather served and possibly Frank House also.
Hoping someone knows the family,
Regards
Alan

Hello Meliora,
I have a Frank H House on 1881 census aged 1 at Warlock Rd , London and at 24 Oaklands Grove on 1901. He was a telegraphist then. I also have a Frank H House in army 1914-18 Corporal , RGA 88174, hopefully all the same person. I understand that a Frank House also wrote 2 books on coarse fishing, again whether its the one I am after I don't know. I did not know about marriage though.
Regards
Alan

Hello, Alan,
1891 census
RG9/46 folio 70 page 38
36 Richmond Gdns, Hammersmith
Joseph W House, age 34 Railway Cashier b St James Westminster
Margaret wife age 46 b Surrey, Limpsfield
Frank son age 11 b Wetsbourne Park, London
This entry definitely said Joseph, a mistake somewhere.
Re. the WW1 service record, gave a look at the National Archives website, you may be able to find something on him there.
www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline
re. the coarse fishing books by Frank House, have a look at this site, I tried the links, classified & authors but found nothing for a Frank House, but you may find something interesting, worth a trawl around. Otherwise there is a link, (top menu) to services which shows an email address, so an enquiry to them might yield a result.

Good luck,
Meliora

Hello Meliora,
Thanks for 1891 census, much appreciated. I have found that a Frank Holman House wrote a book called Timber At War and a Frank G House wrote Handbook Of Coarse Fishing{published by Bear -Hudson, London 1944.
Which one wrote my book I am after I don't know, I might order fishing book in case it mentions anything about author and his other books.
I am still hoping descendants might pick up on this and have a copy of book.
Regards
Alan
