Frederick Deeming - Notorious murderer

[Dave Dee]

From the 1851 census, Thomas Deeming, the father of Frederick, was living in Ashby and his youngest son had been born in Atherstone in 1848.....etc......etc......etc......

......etc......Re the death of James in 1896...the death registered in Wolverhampton district in Jul-Sep 1896 would seem to match that of your great grandfather.

Many thanks for your input, David, which all makes sense. I agree that if there is any connection between my line and that of Frederick's, then it must go a long way back, probably before all available records. All interesting speculative stuff, though, isn't it?

I've just realised that although I possess a GRO certificate of my Great Grandfather James' birth, I don't have one for his death, so you've inspired me to order that today from the GRO - so I thank you for that.

Many thanks, and best wishes.

Dave.  <-------- common ol' name, innit?  Hehe.

Thanks for this great post, Sylvia. Tons of information on there! More stuff to be saved to my computer, methinks.

ATB, Dave.

Does anyone know if Frederick Deeming was baptised? Can't seem to find evidence of it anywhere so far. His brother Thomas Bailey was baptised on 1 April 1849. so his parents must've believed in such things. Haven't checked yet on the rest of the family, though.

Further to Nickd's post, my mothers maiden name was Deeming, however, that link came from Polesworth (also Warks.) about 1850. The family lived in Atherstone from then on, but I cannot  find a connection to this thread.

The Newspaper Archive has a lot on Fred Deeming including a reference to his childhood in Ashby: -

"...Deeming was known, and is now remembered by them (the firm). It is forty years since, and Deeming's stated age confirms Messrs. J. and E. Ison's recollections of the boy playing in Asbby Market Street. His (Deeming's) mother was stated to have ..."

Thanks for the post, David. Opinions seem to vary about the British Newspaper Archive...here's a blog on the subject:-

My observation on the pricing of access to the British Newspapers is that sooner or later there will be a straw that breaks the camel's back. This could be the straw for subscription services.

Hi,

I stumbled across this this morning after only just finding out recently that I am in fact descendant from the Deeming family.  My great grandfather changed his name to Thomas Edward Getley (Son of Mary Jane Getley).  My research points to Edward Deeming being the son of Thomas Deeming and Ann Bailey and the brother of Frederick Bailey Deeming.

From what I can gather from Mike Covell's very informative posts this is in fact incorrect....

If so can someone shed some light on this for me.  Obviously considering the events surrounding Frederick Bailey Deeming I can understand that many Deeming's information became purposely skewed.

Thanks in advance
Andrew
