from Katie Woolf
Frederick was working as a groomsman at the Crown Hotel, Emsworth, Hampshire when he died 1896/97. Family myth is that he liked his drink and fell off the horse. He either worked for or followed the famous jockey Frederick Archer, and his son was called Archer after him. Following Frederick's death his wife (with four children) married George Henry Light and they had one daughter, Irene. Emily and James Williams are the witnesses to Fredrick’s wedding in 1886. Emily was James’s wife and also registered Fredrick’s death. | WILLIAMS, Frederick (I000789)

The Explosion in H.M.S. VERNON.
Inquest on two victims
Handling of Hydrostatic Fuses
The explosion in HMS Vernon on March 19, 1930 which resulted in the deaths of Gilbert Hutchinson (46) of 39 Wadham Road, North End and William George Williams (54) of 94 Clayhalll Road Gosport was the subject of an exhaustive inquiry by the Portsmouth Coroner (Sir Thomas Bramsdom, JP) at the Guildhall on Wednesday afternoon.
The City Coroner sat with a jury, and Mr S. Brutton represented the Admiralty, Mr E J Bechervause was for the Mining School in HMS Vernon, Mr F A Maxwell-Wells represented the two widows, and Captain Pedlar, the Factory Inspector, was present on behalf of the Home Office. Harold Charles Shotter, a School Teacher, identified the body of the late Mr Hutchinson as that of his Uncle. The next witness was James Smith a clerk in the Dockyard who identified the body of the late Mr Williams as that of his father-in-law.
Lieut-Commander Douglas Geo. Wilberforce Curry, second assistant to the Superintendent of Design at Woolwich, said that last October he received the issue of two Hydrostatic Fuses. They were forwarded to the Superintendent of Mines in HMS Vernon. He understood that the Vernon tests would be carried out in deep water and not in a tank.
Percy Ernest Masters, the shop manager at Woolwich Arsenal spoke to the labelling of the fuses as being loaded when they left Woolwich for the Vernon, via Priddy's Hard. At Woolwich a fuse was always assumed to be loaded unless it was labeled otherwise.
William Neal, a storehouseman at Priddy's Hard said that the case (produced) arrived at the store on February 11. An "Experimental" label was on the box, but it did not show that the fuse was filled.
Commissioned Gunner Anthony Beard of HMS Vernon said that when the fuses were received by him he pointed out to Mr Pickford that there was a possibility of the fuses being loaded. Mr. Pickford, however, thought that they were unloaded. The fuses were delivered to the witness from Priddy's Hard in a box marked "Loaded" and the witness treated them as such.
P O Charles Crook of the Vernon, said that he received instructions from Mr Beard to issue the explosives to the late Mr Williams. The word "filled" did not appear on the box label.
THE EXPLOSION
A fitter named William Samuel, employed in the Mines School, said that on March 19 he saw the two deceased men and Mr Pickford.
Mr Williams had a fuse in his hand, and he asked the witness for a spanner, shortly afterwards be heard a sharp report and saw Mr Pickford with his hand covered in blood. Mr Hutchinson was lying on the floor and in the other end of the workshop Mr. Williams was lying in
great pain.
Mr Jessie Ward, a fitter in the School said that the heard the report and saw Mr Williams and Mr Pickford staggering about. He also saw Mr Hutchinson suffering from severe head injuries.
A FINGER BLOWN AWAY
The chief witness was Mr. Frederick Pickford, the principal technical officer in the Mines School, who appeared with his right hand heavily bandaged. He became distressed when he came to describe the accident. He said that he never thought that the fuse was filled, and he proceeded to take down the fuse. He went across to the test shop and asked the deceased man, Williams, to unscrew the detonator. Unfortunately for the late Mr Hutchinson, his was the first bench they came to and the operations were carried out on this bench. The explosion then occurred and the witness saw that a finger had gone from his right hand. He also saw Mr Hutchinson and Mr Williams collapse. The witness was discharged from Haslar Hospital on Monday. He never saw the box in which the fuses arrived from Woolwich via Priddy's Hard. Had he seen the box he would have expected to find the fuses loaded.
He agreed with the Coroner that in future it would be wise to distinctly mark a loaded fuse.
Replying to Captain Pedlar, the witness said that had he known that the fuses were loaded he would have sent them back to be emptied. He saw none of the correspondence accompanying the fuses.
Surgeon Commander Cory, Dr. R. H. Hodges, and Surgeon Commander O'Flynn gave medical evidence as to the cause of death in each case, and in his address to the jury, Sir Thomas Bramsdon said that the case emphasized the need for loaded fuses being marked as such.
VERDICT AND RIDER
The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death." and added a rider to the effect that the fuses should be clearly marked. | WILLIAMS, William George (I000218)

GORDON RAYMOND MILLS
Gordon Raymond Mills was a unique character, born the youngest of three, in Gosport on the October 5th 1926. He spent his childhood in various places around the world due to the fact that his father, William George was in the Royal Engineers.
In his younger days, Gordon was a keen and enthusiastic sportsman, involved in many sporting teams, notably football, hockey, swimming and tennis, both at school and college. He had great pride in showing the scar from an operation to pin his broken leg; the result of a footballing injury obtained when he was 12, which he maintained to his last days, was NOT an accident!
One thing he will always be remembered for was his love of taking things apart to see how they worked or, more importantly, how he could improve them! He was never very good at putting things back together however, hence lots of bits and pieces lying around which may come in handy for something else!
Gordon began his working life as an electronics engineer with the Admiralty Surface Weapons Establishment. He worked his way up through the years and perhaps one of his happiest times, when on board HMS Girdleness, was his involvement in the development of new surface to air guided missile systems. He was very proud of his work, but never really talked about it in detail. We think he took his oath of secrecy very seriously!
He continued to work at A.S.W.E. until his early retirement having achieved the dizzy heights of Senior Scientific Officer, a position of which he and his family were justifiably proud.
Gordon was a loving and devoted son who cared for his parents and elder sister Eileen in their final years. He liked to keep himself to himself but always maintained a loving relationship with his older brother Ron and Sister in law, Joyce. As in all sibling relationships, the elder brother offered the younger much advice, most of which was duly ignored or forgotten!
Gordon was a generous and loving uncle to his nephews, Brian and Corin, and niece, Celia, and was always on hand to help out when financial crises occurred. This continued with his great nephews, Matthew and James and nieces, Emma, Elena and Zoe all of whom have experienced the kindness and generosity of the man.
It came as shock to Gordon to have become ill, as he had always enjoyed good health. His last eight weeks spent in hospital was a considerable trial for him, but he managed to maintain a dignified and grateful demeanour with the hospital staff whose care was very much appreciated.
Over the last few weeks, Gordon was pleased and comforted to know that he had the love and support of his family in his hour of need. He will be missed by all of them.
Rest in peace, Gordon; no doubt you will be sitting in your comfy reclining chair and watching a state of the art wide screen TV! Say "Hello" to your Dad, Mum and Eileen for us. We love you.
Celia Walker - 9th June 2003 - read at Gordon's funeral. | MILLS, Gordon Raymond (I000048)

Gordon reckons he was called for National Service in the RAF.
I remember him as working at the Seamans Rest in Portsmouth.
Ron reckons he was an entertainer of some sort.
He performed with a troupe called The Palace Boys and Joan.
Never married.
Spent his final years accompanying Eileen Mills on European coach tours. | FRANCIS, William John (I000080)

Had an aunt who was a housekeeper at "Queenswood" Nr. Coventry Station.
It is thought that the owners of this house fostered Thomas William Ward and brought him up as a "Gent".
He kept a shop in Coton Road, Nuneaton, catering for canary fanciers. He made wire cages, drinking bowls etc. He had an advert on the Safety Curtain at the cinema near St. Georges Hall, (Bond St. ?) Nuneaton. He gave up the shop for health reasons ( possibly a legacy of rheumatic fever contracted earlier in life which may have damaged his heart).
The family moved in with his wife Elsie's father at 7, Sunnyside, Nuneaton, who by this time was a widower. | WARD, Thomas William (I000108)

He carved figures on the roofline of the Houses of Parliament and worked on Big Ben, St.Paul's Cathedral, Westminster, Port of London Authority Building, and carved a rectangular bas-relief plaque which is (supposed to be) outside the Main Gate at AERE, Harwell.
Leonard Sydney Billson joined him for a visit on the scaffolding of the Houses of Parliament. He was scared stiff !!
Ray Wilson has only a few items carved by his father. The most interesting is a plaster cast of Jesus on the Cross. Ray told me that his father would have sculpted the figure in clay then taken a plaster cast. The cast would then be covered in a series of dots and an instrument used to transfer the three dimensional detail to the stone blank. He also has various photographs of his father's work including one of a bas relief of the face of his wife, Gertrude. | WILSON, George Frederick (I000142)

He got a job looking after an old man, George Samuel Toller in a large house called "Charnwood" Tower Road South, off The Avenue, Bournemouth, who had been a solicitor in the Leicester firm of Toller, Poachin and Wright.
In 1938 the family moved back to Coventry, and lived at 40, Kingsway, Stoke.
It is thought that he didn't formally adopt the children of his second wife Elsie Taylor.
He died a few years after Elsie. | CLARK, Thomas (I000175)
