Fred Churchett, August 1958
     Frederick Charles Churchett, son of George Charles Churchett and Annie Mary Dunford, was born on 7 June 1906 in England.1

On 1 June 1929, Frederick Charles Churchett married Dorothy Irene Kilburn, daughter of Albert Edward Philip Kilburn and Ida Martha Warren, in South London, England.

Frederick Charles Churchett was a stonemason (worked on gravestones).

Fred and Dolly had a son, Brian, on 26 January 1935 in Lewisham, London SE13.

In the late 1930s, Fred was made redundant. He heard about a job going in the Co-op Undertakers and walked all the way from Bromley to Manor Park to try for it--there was not enough money for him to take the bus. It would have taken him some hours to walk it . . . but he did get the job.3

Fred and Dolly had a son, Colin, on 3 May 1940.4,5

Eventually Fred and Dolly were able to find a house to rent on School Road in Manor Park, a bit closer to his job. Unfortunately, the house fell victim to an air raid in 1941. It happened about lunchtime while Fred was away, and Dolly took the children out to the Anderson shelter in the garden. When the house collapsed, rubble covered the shelter and the family was unable to get out until some hours later when Fred was finally able to return home and dig them out. Dolly could hear Fred's voice speaking to them as he was trying to clear a way for them to emerge. After that the family was housed in Cornwall School for a time. Fred had to go to work during the day while Dolly looked for another house to rent. This she found on Third Avenue. They were unable to save much from the house on School Road, but families who were bombed out were given a three-piece suite [a couch and a couple of chairs]. (Sixty years later, their son Colin still had--and was using!--the suite, which he said had lasted well over the years; his nephew Dale, however, described it as "hard as a rock".)

The family ate very healthily during the war, contrary to what one might imagine. Fred had an allotment on Wanstead Flats, and when the vegetables were ready for picking, the men took turns at night guarding the allotments. Even in wartime, there were people who would steal almost anything. Although meat and eggs were hard to come by, the family made do with root vegetables, potatoes, carrots, cabbage, rhubarb (which son Colin despised) and parsnips and swedes. They also had plenty of apples and pears. They could have had rabbit, but Dolly didn't like it, so it never appeared on the table. Another casualty of their diet was sweets and chocolates.3

Frederick Charles Churchett was retired on 11 June 1971 at the Co-op.1

On 17 February 1972 Fred died in England, at age 65, leaving Dolly a widow.1
