In the 1881 census as Frederick Wheeler aged 7, born in Frensham, Surrey, and living with his parents (William and Ann), two brothers (James and William), and three sisters (Alice, Eleanor and Lilly) at Churt, Frensham, Surrey.

Entry in the Register of Deaths for Frederick Wheeler in April-June 1957 aged 82 in Surrey SW (5g 863).

There are several entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Frederick Wheeler born 9 December 1874 in Frensham, Surrey, parents William Wheeler and Ann Tilbury, his marriage to Margaret Isabel Smith in Farnham, Surrey in 1907, a daughter and three sons, his marriage to Elizabeth Phoebe Carter on 10 December 1948 in Farnham, Surrey, two sons and a daughter, and his death on 4 May 1957 at Glen Rose, Tilford Road, Churt, Surrey, and burial on 7 May 1957 at St John the Evangelist, Churt. Matthew Savill adds his christening on 14 February 1875 at St John the Evangelist, Churt, parents William and Anne Wheeler of Churt. Several entries give his middle name as William (based I believe on the wrong set of military records for Frederick William Wheeler born in Hampstead in 1873). A note attached to the entry for Constance M Wheeler states she (Constance) had a twin brother who was stillborn.

Relationship

Frederick William Wheeler was the husband of Margaret Isabel Smith, my first cousin twice removed.
