to have been Mary

Berks., as Frederick Henry William Bull.

1849 his daughter Louisa BULL was born in St. James, London (on the
1851 Census Frederick gave her age as 2). Her birth was probably

London. Probable birth registration is Frederick Henry
William
BULL, S Pancras, Mar Quarter 1853, 1b, 127.
On the

birth was registered in St Pancras and the certificate gives his
parent's names as Frederick Henry William BULL and Amelia BULL formerly
GAYWOOD. He later married Annie DAVIS.
On
the 1861 Census they are listed at 11 Grafton Street, St Pancras,
London. For some reason Frederick gave his name

Frederick Henry BULL was born. The birth was registered on 1
Jul 1867 by his mother. The birth
certificate gives the address as 5 London Street, St
