Frederick William Stevenson was born in Aberdeen, in a granite house which still stands at 36 Spital. His father was a ship's engineer continually at sea, and Frederick was brought up by his mother and grandmother. The latter had the reputation of a fearsome lady who would not even allow whistling on a Sunday "Whaur's that whistling on the Sabbath?". Although he was his father's eldest child, he had an older half-brother, George, by his mother's first marriage. It is said that Fred used to tramp the hills barefoot with a handful of grain as a child. The family moved house at least twice in Aberdeen, from Spital to Hardgate to Huntly St before moving to London when Frederick was about 10. He entered one of the new teacher's training colleges when he was about 20 and remained a teacher for the rest of his life. School records exist up to the age of 30 during which time he taught at Byron St School, Poplar. When he was 29, he married another teacher, Leah JUSTICE, who lived nearby. It is said that his father "cut him off" for marrying Leah, and this may be true since he was not mentioned in his father's will, in which his younger sister Dolly was appointed executor. Frederick and Leah moved first to Manor Park where two sons were born (and twins miscarried), and then to East Ham where they lived until retirement. Their last move was to Leigh on Sea some time in the 1930s. Fred died of heart failure at the age of 76. He was a man of strong principles, refusing to share a joke about a lunatic: "I never laugh at other people's infirmities. Good morning." He was tall and had a mild Scottish accent. |
