Title: Bakery, Frederick Smith - Dover 1911
Post by: mikegunnill on Monday 16 April 18 12:31 BST (UK)
I have a : Frederick Edward Smith 1881-1948 of 36 Longfield Road in Dover. Along with his wife, Catherine and assistant baker Frederick George Cosham they ran a bakery. In 1911 Frederick Smith was listed as baker/pastrycook.

Looking for a picture of the shop and/or a picture of Frederick George Cosham.  He enlisted at Dover into the 16th Lancashire Fusiliers.

Grateful for help or assistance.

Thank you

Hello Shaun:

No the name wasn't mentioned, just that they lived over-the-shop.  The shop is still there at present as Sheila's Corner Shop.

How much information do you have on Frederick George Cosham?

I have found his Regiment number when he was in the fusiliers if you don't know it. Might help you going forward with more information.
