Marriage:
12 Nov 1882 (age 21)
Address: Barton Regis, Bristol
the first witness Henry was the Groom's brother. The other witness Maria was probably a friend of the bride. The bride gave her address as Gotham House which was a large mid-19th century house. Given her background she was probably a servant and her father who was an agricultural labourer may have worked on the estate.
Census for household:
5 Apr 1891 (age 27-28)
Clifton, Bristol, Gloucestershire7
Address: 219 Hotwell Road
The household consisted of Frederick, his wife Sarah, and their two children Arthur (age 7) and Comfort (age1). The family had 4 rooms in a 6 roomed house. The other two rooms are occupied by 2 families of 2 who have 1 room each. Frederick is shown as being employed on his own account repairing jewellery, clock and watches so presumably is working from home.
Census for household:
31 Mar 1901 (age 37-38)
Clifton, Bristol, Gloucestershire8
Address: 217 Hotwell Road
The household consisted of Frederick, his wife Sarah, and their two children Arthur (age 17) and Comfort (age 11). The family has the whole house which has at least five rooms to themselves. Next door there is a drapers shop which occupies 219-223 Hotwell Road so the Wakefield's house may also have a shop from which Frederick carried out his business as a Watchmaker and jeweller. In the previous census they were living at 219 Howell Road but there is no indication that it was a shop at that time as 221 and 223 also accommodated families who were obviously not in trade.
