Hi,

It looks like Frederick Vernon was baptised as Vernon Telford, (indexed as Talford)

the DOB matches the one you have :)

Looking at the 1891 census Frederick, Sophia and some of the children are living in Telford Ter. Herne Bay, Kent, maybe that's why he was baptised as Telford. There are also a lot of Google results for Frederick living at Telford House

Thank you for the information. We are puzzled why the 1891 census states Frederick, Sophia and some of the children are living in Telford Terrace Herne Bay, Kent, whereas Frederick Vernon's death certificate says he was born in Durban SA on 21st October 1889, and lived in SA all his life until his death in White River SA on 1st November 1970.

Hi,

My apologies, I should have been clearer :-[

The Frederick, Sophia and family in 1891 that I mentioned were Charles/Edward's possible parents and siblings, Frederick William FAIRBRASS and Sophia nee CANNON + children.

I thought that Telford Vernon/Frederick Vernon might have been baptised with a thought of his Grandfather's home.
