Father, James Minter, was an umbrella maker at the time. 1901 census: at 51 Edbrook Road, Paddington, London, Frederick H (24, cabinet maker), Gertrude (23) and Herbert O (4 months). 1911 census (supplied by Dominic Moore, October 2009): at 38 Middle Road, Barnet, Herts (6 rooms), Frederick (head, 34, married, carpet planner, worker, born Marylebone, London), Gertrude (wife, 33, married 11 years, 4 children, 3 living 1 died, born Marylebone, London), Herbert (son, 10, born Paddington, London), Doris (daughter, 7, born Walthamstow, Essex) and Evelyn (daughter, 2, born Hornsey, London).

Frederick Henry died at Twyford Lodge, Willesden, as of 68 Carlton Vale, Willesden. His occupation then was carpet planner, house furnishers. The death was registered by his widow G[ertrude] Minter of 12 Lewisham Hill, Lewisham, London SE13. Ancestry.com have Frederick's service record in connection with a WW1 pension claim. It shows that Frederick enlisted in the Labour Corps on 4 May 1915 giving his date of birth as 7 October 1875, Paddington and his occupation as carpet planner. His next-of kin was shown as his wife Gertrude Minter, 71 Warlock Road, Paddington, London W. Another form shows next-of-kin as son Herbert Oscar Minter of 23 Trafalgar Road, Greenwich. He was discharged, no longer fit for war service, on 25 November 1918, address then shown as 23 Trafalgar Road, E Greenwich. Frederick left Southampton on the 'Viper' for France on 22 May 1915 and spent over 3 years in France between May 1915 and August 1918. Active service is claimed to have aggravated varicose veins (which were noticed when Frederick was examined on enlistment). When examined in 1918 the medical officer said varicose veins were developed in Frederick's legs 9 years ago which had gradually got worse. The condition was such as to lead to Frederick's discharge and he was assessed as 20% disabled for one year. A pension of 5s 6d for 52 weeks fron 26 November 1918 was awarded.. Addresses and other information from Dominic Moore, March 2008: 1903: 32, Eldon Road, Walthamstow (Doris's birth certificate) 1908: 8 King's Terrace, Nightingale Lane, Hornsey (Eve's birth certificate) 1918-1919: 23 Trafalgar Road, Greenwich. 1920-1931 or 1932: Gertrude Minter is registered as Beer Retailer at 23, Trafalgar Road, Greenwich 1919-1928 in Kelly's Directory, NOT Frederick Henry Minter, though he is shown on the Electoral Register between 1919-1930. The family lived above the Beer Shop, which was similar to a pub, but only licensed to sell beer & cider. 1927: Ron Minter said that his daughter "Tanja, who did talk to Gertrude rather more than us, mentioned that Gertrude told her that her husband Frederick Henry left her when she was 50. This would have been in 1927." 1927/1930-1936: 68 Carlton Vale, Willesden, with his widowed mother's family? (Yet to be ascertained.)
