Narrative

Frank Henry REEVES is the fifth known child and second son of Edward Reeves and his wife Fanny (nee CROOK). His birth was registered during the fourth quarter of 1863 in the Southampton Registration District and the GRO Index to Births confirms his mother's maiden name was Crook. He was baptised on 14 January 1864 at the Parish Church of St Mary, Southampton, Hampshire.

The death of his mother was recorded during the first quarter of 1870 and on the 1871 census Frank, along with his three brothers, appears in the St Mary's Union Poor House. He was 7 years old, born in Southampton and a Scholar. His widowed father Edward and sister Ann were living at 22 Longcroft Street in the St Mary's district of Southampton.

At the time of the 1881 census, Frank H REEVES appears in his widowed father Edward's household at 23 Longcroft Street. He is now 17 years old, unmarried and again claims birth in Southampton. He is working as a Mariner.

On the 1891 census, Frank Reeves again appears in his father's household at 23 Longcroft Street. He is now 28 years old, is single and working as a Labourer.

The death of Frank's father Edward REEVES was recorded during the third quarter of 1899 in Southampton Registration Distinct.

Frank has not been identified on the 1901 or 1911 census returns. The GRO Index notes the death of Frank REEVES during the fourth quarter of 1899 in the Southampton Registration District. He was 36 years old, which makes this a strong match to our subject.
