Frederick William Spackman

[Asphodel]

I am looking for my grandfather Frederick William Spackman born 1874 died 30th December 1949. His address when he died was 21 Verney Road, Dagenham. I do not know where he was born, I only know that he went to Cambridge, married in 1908, was blinded in the First World War and had, as I have been told, 22 children including my father Charles Henry George Spackman.

Did he marry Alice Dorothy Lee?

Hi,

Using FreebMD I have think I have found the birth of your father, giving his mother's maiden name as LEE, which fits with the Frederick's mother-in-law in the latest census.

This looks like the right marriage,

Frederick William SPACKMAN    Dec Q 1909    Shoreditch    1c  171
Alice Dorothy LEE


Putting in the surname SPACKMAN with mother's maiden name LEE brings up quite alot of matches 5 of which are in the same registration district as your father. I cannot find another SPACKMAN/LEE marriage so they could all be siblings.
We are not allowed to list details of possibly living people here so I'll leave the FreeBMD/Ancestry search to you to see if you recognise any of the names that come up.


Regards,
Daisy

Thankyou to everyone who posted information about my grandfather Frederick William Spackman It would seem likely that it is him and I will continue to research him and my grandmother whose name I did not know but as my father had a sister Alice then this matches pretty well. This has set me on a journey as if this is him then his origins are very different from what I was led to believe by my father and I intend to find out as much as I can.
I also think that this is going to be fun and it's great that my children have got involved too!
