| PP_11 | That Myra Frost (11) was the mother of Helen Myra Greaves (5) | ||||
| Helen Myra Greaves daughter of Edward Greaves and Myra formerly Frost was born on 19 August 1885 in Bradford. | Birth | ||||
| Edward Greaves and Myra had 5 children between 1884 and 1892, including Helen Myra Greaves in 1885. | |||||
| Edward Greaves and Myra Frost married in 1883 in Bradford, when her age was given as 'full'. | Marriage | ||||
| Myra Greaves is listed in the 1891 census aged 39 and born (c. 1851) in Enfield, Middlesex. | Census | ||||

| Myra Frost daughter of Henry James Frost and Helen formerly Cooke was born on 19 November 1851 in Enfield. | Birth | ||||
| My descent from Myra Frost is confirmed by at least 3 DNA matches averaging about 19cM with descendants of her sibling Henry Howard Frost, and at least 8 matches averaging about 19cm of all descendants of Myra with all descendants of Henry Howard. | DNA | ||||
| So the mother of Helen Myra Greaves (5), | |||||
| Myra Frost (11), born in 1851 in Enfield, | |||||
| married to Edward Greaves (10) in 1883 in Manningham, | PP_10 | ||||

| Henry James Frost and Helen had 5 children between 1851 and 1859, including Myra Greaves in 1851. | |||||
| Henry James Frost and Helen Cooke married in 1850 in Manchester, both of 'full' age. His father is given as Thomas Frost, a spinner, and hers as John Cooke, an appariser. | Marriage | ||||
| The 1851 census lists Henry Frost, aged 26, a railway clerk born (c. 1820) in Manchester and his wife Helen, aged 22, born (c. 1828) in Cheltenham, living in Nags Head Lane in Enfield. | Census | ||||
| Helen Frost died aged 32 on 15 March 1860 in Edmonton, Middlesex. | Death | ||||
| Henry James Frost died aged 46 on 9 January 1871 (born c. 1824) in Chorlton, Manchester. | Death | ||||

| Large parts of the Frost family history during the 1800s were systematically documented on the settlement of Nancy Frost's estate in 1891. | Affidavit | ||||
| My descent from Henry James Frost is confirmed by at least 9 DNA matches averaging about 20cM with descendants of his siblings Eliza, Charles, Emily, and Walter Howard Frost, and at least 22 matches averaging about 19cm of all descendants of Henry James with all descendants of those siblings. | DNA | ||||
| So the father of Myra Frost (11), | |||||
| Henry James Frost (22), born in 1824 in Manchester, | PP_23 | ||||
| married to Helen Cooke (23) in 1850 in Manchester, | |||||

| Henry James son of Thomas Frost and Nancy was born on 7 May 1824 in Manchester. | Birth | ||||
| Thomas Frost and Nancy Frost were married in 1819 in Bowden, Cheshire. | Marriage | ||||
| Thomas Frost was 25 years of age on his marriage in 1819, so born around 1794. | Licence | ||||
| Thomas Frost was 56 years of age in the 1851 census, so born around 1795 - in Manchester. | Census | ||||
| In his will of 1821, Thomas Frost's father Thomas names his wife Sarah, and mentions children James, Thomas, and Charles Frost. He also leaves £6 a year to his sister Sarah Parkinson. | Will | ||||
| Thomas Frost was born in 1794 in Manchester, the son of Thomas and Sarah Frost. | Birth | ||||
| Thomas and Sarah Frost had 13 children between 1778 and 1805, only James, Thomas and Charles surviving childhood, and only Charles and Thomas having children. | Tree | ||||
| Thomas Frost and Sarah Howard married in Manchester in 1778. | Marriage | ||||
| So the father of Henry James Frost (22), | |||||
| Thomas Frost (44), born in 1794 in Manchester, | |||||
| married to Nancy Frost (45) in 1819 in Bowdon, | |||||
| died in 1870 in Manchester, was the son of | |||||
| Thomas Frost (88), and | PP_88 | ||||
| Sarah Howard (89). | |||||
| PP_88 | That Thomas Frost (88) was the father of Thomas Frost (44) | PP_44 | |||
| In the affidavit concerning estate of Nancy Frost in 1891, the will of her brother David Frost from 1826 mentions Nancy as his sister, and her husband Thomas Frost as his cousin. | Affidavit | ||||
| The will of David Frost of Macclesfield, Chester, innkeeper of 1808 names his brother Thomas Frost of Manchester, merchant, and one John Shatwell of Macclesfield, grocer, as his executors. His will is not reproduced here, running as it does to a 4 full pages without mentioning his widow or children by name, or anyone else, aside from his two executors. | |||||
| The Martha Cope whose will of 1835 is also outlined in 1891 had 2 children, David Frost (d. 1826) and Nancy Frost - both with her second husband David Frost. | Affidavit | ||||
| Thomas Frost, of Manchester, turner and over 21 years of age and Sarah Howard of Manchester also over 21 years of age married in Manchester in 1778. | Marriage | ||||
| Thomas Frost, of Manchester, turner and David Frost of Macclesfield are named as executors of the will of Ann Frost of Macclesfield, widow in 1802. She names her sons Peter, Thomas, David, George, Joseph and James, and daughters Ann and Sarah the wife of John Parkinson | Will | ||||
| These children of Ann Frost were baptized in Macclesfield - sons Peter in 1753, Thomas 1754, David 1756, George 1761, Joseph (1764 listed as Thomas), James 1767, and daughters Sarah 1759 and Nancy 1769, children of 'Thomas Frost of Hurdsfield' or 'Thomas & Ann'. Their first son Charles b. 1751 died in 1772. | Birth | ||||
| This points to the marriage of Thomas Frost and Ann Boothby in Prestbury in 1749. | Marriage | ||||
| So the father of Thomas Frost (44), | |||||
| Thomas Frost (88), born in 1754 in Macclesfield, | |||||
| married to Sarah Howard (89) in 1778 in Manchester, | |||||
| died in 1821 in Altrincham, was the son of | |||||

| By T. M. FISCHER & SON, on Tuesday the 11th of March 1851, at the Star Hotel, in Deangate, Manchester, punctually at four o'clock in the afternoon, subject to such conditions as will be then and there produced, and in one or more lots, as may be agreed upon at the time of sale: | |||||
| All the Substantial and Well-arranged BUILDINGS, situate in Warrington, known as the Cock Hedge Mills, late in the occupation of Messrs. Hadfield and Frost, with the two nearly new Condensing Steam Engines, each of 70 horses' power, and Cylindrical Steam Boilers, equal to 250 horses' power; and all the Shafting, Mill Geering, Steam and Water Pipes and Gas Fittings through the premises which, including the capital Reservoirs, embrace the area of 11,682 square yards, perfectly enclosed and detached, being accessible only by the lodge gates. The Machinery consists of 117 throstles, containing 19,136 spindles, by the best makers, with most ample preparation of the first class, and all convenient and requisite implements and utensils, in the manufacturing departments, the winding, warping and sizing apparatus, are of the best description; and the looms, which are mostly fitted with the patent stop motion and temple, comprise 156 7-8, 95 4-4, 330 9-8,139 5-4 and 34 6-4, with all necessary apparatus. Also all that capital Mill, situate in Latchford, near Warrington aforesaid, with the recently erected detached Warehouse, and other outbuildings, condensing steam engine, 25 horses' power; two cylindrical steam boilers, each 30 horses' power, with the shafting, mill geering, steam and water pipes, and gas fittings; and the Machinery, consisting of 14,600 mule spindles, with all the requisite preparation. The site of this property occupies 2,155 square yards, and possesses a frontage of considerable extent on the banks of the river Mersey. Warrington is advantageously situated for carrying on the cotton manufactory, the railway and navigation affording easy and convenient access to Liverpool and Manchester. Wages and provisions are comparatively low, and coal, which is raised in the immediate neighbourhood, is supplied at a very reasonable rate. The vendors are disposed to deal liberally with a respectable purchaser as to the mode of payment. | |||||

| 1. David Frost late of Hulme in the County of Lancaster Gentleman made his Will dated the 17th day of April 1826 whereby after directing payment of debts funeral and testamentary expenses He gave devised and bequeathed all his estate and effects both real and personal unto and to the use of his cousins James Frost and Thomas Frost their heirs executors administrators and assigns Upon trust that they or the survivor should sell and convert the same into money in manner in the said Will provided.

| 3. Martha Cope late of Kirkmanshulme near Manchester (the before mentioned mother of the said David Frost and Nancy Frost) made her Will dated the 4th day of August 1835 whereby after directing payment of debts funeral and testamentary expenses She gave devised and bequeathed all her real and personal estate and effects unto and to the use of the said James Frost and Thomas Frost their heirs executors administrators and assigns Upon trust that they or the survivor of them or the executors or administrators of such survivor should sell and convert the same into money in manner in the said Will provided.

| 4. The testatrix Martha Cope died on the 19th day of November 1844 and her said Will was proved at Chester on the 31st day of May 1845 by the Executors James Frost and Thomas Frost. The parchment document now produced and shewn to us marked "B" is the probate of the said Will. | |||||
| 5. The said James Frost died on the 7th day of April 1851 leaving the said Thomas Frost his cotrustee of the Wills of the said David Frost and Martha Cope surviving him. The said Thomas Frost died on the 26th day of January 1870 having made a Will by which he left all his real and personal estate to his Wife the said Nancy Frost and appointed her sole Executrix and which Will was duly proved by her. | |||||
| 6. The said Nancy Frost never married again. | |||||
| 7. The said Nancy Frost made her Will dated the 17th day of February 1870 whereby after directing payment of debts funeral and testamentary expenses She gave devised and bequeathed directed limited and appointed all estate and effects both real and personal comprised in certain settlements (under which she had an absolute power of appointment) or otherwise belonging to her unto and to the use of her sons-in-law the deponents Frederick Septimus Bateson and Benjamin Carver their heirs executors administrators or assigns Upon trust that they should in the first place out of the said trust moneys set aside a fund or sum the annual income whereof would in their judgement produce the clear yearly sum of £40 And should during the life of testatrix's son William Edward invest the same in manner in the said Will provided And should out of the income thereof or in the case of deficiency of income then out of the capital thereof pay the yearly sum of £40 to her son William Edward for his life as in the said Will is directed And upon trust that they should sell and dispose of her said estate and effects in manner in the said Will directed and stand possessed thereof as well as of the said sum directed to be set aside for her said son William Edward on the determination of his life interest therein Upon the trust following namely "Upon trust for and to be equally divided between all my children except my son William Edward who shall be living at my decease and the issue who shall attain the age of twenty one years or be married of any of my children who may have died in my lifetime leaving issue such issue nevertheless only taking amongst them equally if more than one the share to which their parent would if living have been entitled." And testatrix charged the shares of her sons Alfred Ernest and Walter Howard respectively or of their respective children with certain debts owing by them respectively to her And the said Will contained a proviso as follows - "Provided always and I do hereby further direct and appoint that in case my said trustees or the trustees or trustee for the time being under this my Will shall not within the space of three years from my decease receive from my sons Thomas and Frederick who went abroad many years ago or from their respective child or children any information where he or they is or are then without any obligation on the said trustees part to make enquiry the shares or share to which my said sons Thomas and Frederick or his or their child or children or to which the one of them concerning whom no information shall be received within the period aforesaid would have become entitled under this my Will and all accumulations thereof shall go and be paid to and divided among my other children except and exclusive of my said son William Edward or their respective issue in addition to their original shares." | |||||
| 8. The said Nancy Frost made a Codicil dated the 28th day of July 1871 to her said Will whereby she charged the share of her son Charles or his children with a debt owing by him to her and she made a second Codicil dated the 1st day of July 1873 to her said Will whereby she charged the share of her son Walter Howard or his children with a debt owing by him to her. | |||||
| 9. The testatrix Nancy Frost died on the 18th day of February 1891 and her said Will and Codicils were proved at Manchester on the 2nd day of April 1891 by the deponents Frederick Septimus Bateson and Benjamin Carver. The parchment document now produced and shewn to us marked "C" is the probate thereof. | |||||
| 10. At the date of the death or the said Nancy Frost the trust estate subject to the trusts of the Will of the said David Frost consisted of a sum of £1360 10s invested in mortgages and the same is now vested in the deponents Frederick Septimus Bateson and Benjamin Carver as her Executors. | |||||
| 11. At the date of the death of the said Nancy Frost the trust estate subject to the trusts of the Will of the said Martha Cope consisted of a sum of £932 invested in mortgages and the same is now vested in the deponents Frederick Septimus Bateson and Benjamin Carver as her Executors. | |||||

| 17. The two children of Nancy Frost who attained 21 but are believed to have died in her lifetime without leaving children are | |||||
| (1) Frederick Frost (born 30th September 1820) | |||||
| (2) Thomas Frost (born 3rd May 1834) | |||||
| 18. The said Frederick Frost sailed on or about 17th September 1850 from Liverpool in the ship "Madowska" for Australia. He wrote a letter dated 21st September 1850 (now produced and shewn to us and marked "D") from board ship to his mother. This letter was descriptive of the voyage and does not appear to be important. He wrote another letter dated 28th February 1851 and 27th March 1851 (now produced and shewn to us and marked "E") from Melbourne to his parents. In this letter he referred to his marriage on 30th December 1850 at Melbourne to Elizabeth Fairclough (a woman who had sailed out from Liverpool in the same ship as himself). He also gave 134 Latrobe Street (East) Melbourne as his address. The rest of the letter was chiefly an account of his doings and of the place and does not appear to be important. He wrote another letter dated 29th September 1851 (now produced and shewn to us and marked "F") from Melbourne to his mother. In this letter the following passages occur "Business here is very quiet all the talk being the Gold Diggings near Geelong men are getting £20 a week by it some considerably more. A party of young gentlemen want me to join them for a month taking a months provisions with them also a horse and dray tents etc. I do not know what to do yet not having met with a situation in fact anyone that comes to this infernal place must be such as mechanics joiners and that class except they are men of capital. No society of any kind" ... "I saw in the papers the death of my poor uncle" (meaning his uncle James Frost who died in England in April 1851) ... "My health am glad to say continues good" ... "When you next write me address my letter to the post office Melbourne. We only took the house for 12 months and it will be uncertain whether we stay in it after the time." The letter does not appear to contain other passages of importance. We believe that other letters were received from him which have been lost long ago but we have always understood from Mrs Nancy Frost that the above mentioned letter of 29th September 1851 was the last one which was received from him. She stated this to be the case in the memorandum dated 9th July 1873 (now produced and shewn to us and marked "G") signed by her. We believe that a friend of the said Nancy Frost who went out to Australia made enquiries at Melbourne and was there informed that Frederick Frost with a number of other people from his street (Latrobe Street) went off to the diggings and that none of them was ever heard of again. Frederick Frost was on affectionate terms with the family and nothing had occurred to affect these terms in any way. He was well aware that on his mothers death he would be entitled along with the rest of the family to share in the family property. We have no doubt that if there had been a child born or expected when the letter of 29th September 1851 was written he would have mentioned it. It has always been assumed and believed by the family that Frederick Frost went out to the Gold Diggings soon after 29th September 1851 and that he died soon afterwards either at the Diggings or on the way there without issue. | |||||
| 19. The said Thomas Frost sailed on or about 30th September 1854 from Southampton in the ship "Star Queen" for Australia. The only letter from him which has not been destroyed is one dated 8th June 1856 (now produced and shewn to us and marked "H") from Warrnambool Victoria to his parents. In this letter he said "I never was in better health than I have been since I have been in Australia. I am now living on a farm working like a labouring man at the wages twenty shillings per week with board and lodgings" ... also "I now intend to turn my hand to farming" also in a postscript he said "I have heard nothing of anyone from Manchester but hope to hear something meaning to go over to Melbourne before long. I am only about one hundred miles from there and about five hundred from Adelaide when you write direct to me Post office Warrnambool Victoria". The rest of the letter is descriptive of his doings which were of a very hand to mouth character walking or riding long distances and picking up employment of a more or less menial character wherever he could. We have always understood from Mrs. Nancy Frost that the above mentioned letter of 8th June 1856 was the last one which was received from him. She mentioned this in the above mentioned memorandum marked "G". She afterwards wrote to him at the address mentioned and received no reply. The memorandum now produced and shewn to us and marked "I" is in the handwriting of Nancy Frost. None of his letters ever mentioned his being married or thinking of being married. If he had been so we have no doubt he would have mentioned it. There had been an unpleasantness between him and his mother before he left England but this had entirely gone as is shown by the affectionate tone of the letter of 8th June 1856 and otherwise he was on affectionate terms with all the family and nothing occurred to affect this. He was well aware that on his mothers death he would be entitled along with the rest of the family to share in the family property. It has always been assumed and believed by the family that Thomas Frost died soon afterwards soon after his letter of 8th June 1856. | |||||
| 20. Referring to both Frederick Frost and Thomas Frost we do not think that advertisements for them were ever sent out from England for insertion in the Australian papers though we understand from Mr. Charles Frost that some advertising was done in Melbourne. On the death of their father Thomas Frost in 1870 the following announcement was inserted in the London Times "On the 26th January at his residence Rusholme Manchester Thomas Frost aged 75 late of the firm of Hadfield & Frost. Australian and New Zealand papers please copy" and no doubt the leading Australian and New Zealand papers would insert this in their issues as soon as the Times reached them. | |||||
| 21. The following members of the family are at present abroad namely, Walter Frost (son of Henry James Frost) is in America, Percy William Carver is in Alexandria in Egypt and Alfred Ernest Frost is in Australia. | |||||

| I Charles Frost of the City of Manchester in the County of Lancaster Agent make oath and say as follows: | |||||
| 1. I am a son of the above named Nancy Frost. | |||||
| 2. I have read the paragraphs 18, 19 and 20 of the joint affidavit of Frederick Septimus Bateson and Benjamin Carter sworn in the above matter on the 29th day of June 1891 and I fully believe the same to be correct. | |||||
| 3. Many years ago my mother the said Nancy Frost being anxious to obtain information as to her two missing sons Frederick and Thomas made enquiries in Liverpool after the family of Elizabeth Fairclough (to whom Frederick had as he said been married) in the hope that they would have some news. She found them and learnt from them that Frederick and his Wife had in fact gone to the Gold Diggings and had never been heard of since. | |||||
| 4. Some time after that my cousin James Frost (who is now abroad though I do not know where) went out to Melbourne and at the request of my mother he advertized in the Melbourne papers for both Frederick and Thomas. He heard at Melbourne that the people who went out to the Diggings were dieing by hundreds in the road like rotten sheep (I distinctly remember this expression as used by him) and he returned home with the full conviction that Frederick and his Wife had died among the rest. Except as aforesaid he could not obtain any information or trace of either Frederick or Thomas. | |||||
| 5. At a later date my brother Alfred Ernest Frost went out to Australia (and he is in fact still there). He also by my mothers desire advertized for Frederick and Thomas in the Melbourne papers and made enquiries there and elsewhere in Australia but though he succeeded in finding some people named Frost he satisfied himself that they were strangers and he did not succeed in obtaining any information as to either Frederick or Thomas. | |||||
| 6. That the statements contained in paragraphs 4 and 5 hereof though not within my own absolute personal knowledge are made from my general knowledge as a member of the family and are based upon conversations with my mother and the said James Frost and with other members of the family. | |||||
