On the 1901 Census
(31 March) Frederick, along with his brother Alfred were shown as being
soldiers with the 19th Hussars (Queen Alexandra's Own), a cavalry regiment of
the British Army, stationed in Canterbury, Kent:
a) Fredrick Ardron, 19th Hussars, single, 19, private, Manchester, Lancashire
b) Alfred Ardron, 19th Hussars, 19, single, private, Lincoln, Lincolnshire
(PRO ref RG13 piece 794 folio 150

other brother Francis T. also spent time in the 19th Hussars.
In 1903 Frederick was as being employed by the
Midland Railway Company being listed in its locomotive depot staff book. (TNA - Railway Employment
Records, 1833-1956; Midland Railway Company: Records; Class: RAIL491; Piece:

In 1904 Frederick married Eliza Ellen Burgess
or Ann Taylor. (GRO ref Burnley
8e 510 Dec 1904) However these names do not tally with the
possible 1911 Census record below.
He then married Ethel
Goodwin in 1906 or 1907. (Canadian birth
records of children + 1911 Census + GRO ref ??) Though I have been unable to
locate a marriage index entry.
Based on later records it is possible that Eliza Ellen Burgess and
Ethel Goodwin are the same person – though her name changes and evolves over
time depending on which record is being looked at.
