Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Frederick Banks Jeweller of Birmingham born circa 1833 died Nov 1906

Many thanks to all who have contributed to discovering the intriguing life of Frederick Banks. Accessing his will on the government probate website has proved fruitless so far as their payment process is full of glitches. I spent an unproductive day at the Library of Birmingham Local History Department searching for his obituary in the newspapers but could not find one. Similarly, his proof mark ("FSB") did not appear in any of their reference books. There is, however, an amount of trinkets of his making listed for sale on eBay and which clearly show it (or possibly his son's).

I have a small connection here with Frederick Banks. I believe his daughter Emma Moody (nee Banks) married my grandfather Arthur Albert Sear in 1902. Unfortunately, both she and their child, also named Emma and aged 0yrs, died in 1904 aged 29yrs. Emma Sears nee Banks was formerly Emma Moody widow of George Moody and had several children with him. I am researching Arthur Albert Sear (born 1873) who married Annie (born 1874) in the same year (1904). Any information relating to him or his son of the same name (born 1906) would be most welcome.
