Yes my Grandfather was Jack.  It might be because of his father Frederick it seems to have happened in the army and it's possible they confused his F for a J and he just went along with it. He does use the H for Harold though and that continues. And now I seem to have found a brother for George in Canada - see below 

Poor Agnes, what a sad story.  . Thank you for the details, though.

If it hasn’t already been mentioned, John and Jack are interchangeable names.  How he ended up choosing John/Jack is a mystery but perhaps he stopped using Frederick to differentiate himself from his father?  Could he have had two middle names, one being John/Jack?

Thank you Lisa that's really helpful but I can't seem to save it as a Jpeg -  sorry to be dim

Sorry, I didn’t post it.  bbart found the record.

They don’t come any dimmer than me (regarding technology) - maybe someone else can help?


I haven’t found the family in Montreal yet, but I’m still looking.

Sorry to sidetrack, but I see you have Staplehurst from Sussex.  Your ancestors weren’t from the Shipley area in the late 1700s/early- to mid-1800s were they?  The name seems so familiar.

They were from the Fletching/Maresfield area in Sussex

Thank you.  Then not from my area of Shipley, Horsham, Itchingfield where my Vaus, etc. ancestors roamed. Don’t know why Staplehurst seems to ring a bell.

It's not that far, Shipley is West Sussex and Fletching is East Sussex - Staplehurst is also a place name and just over there border in Kent - they likely took the name from there way back
