Hi..Someone named Rud was, I think inquiring about Fred Chamberlin. He was my
grandfather. My mother was Grace his youngest daughter. I have been trying to find info
re his youth and years in the British Mercantile Marine to which he was apprenticed in his
teens. According to my mother the ship was called The Adella, which was her middle name.
So far I haven't been very successful. His father was a policeman in Scotland Yard,
and I believe his name was William and his mother was Mary (I think) Marshallsay.
I have found 2 birth records for a Frederick William Chamberlin in 1862 in England. One
was in Hampshire and the other was in Leicestershire. My grandfather died in 1916 after an
accident in Whitewood, Sask. Fred married Sarah Jane Thomas in Whitewood in 1891. Their
children were Colin, George, Fred, Llewellyn, Mabel , Edith and Grace.
