Purser with the Isle of Man Packet? Any additional records please?
« on: Thursday 07 August 25 17:32 BST (UK) »

1901 census [claims birth in SCOTLAND]
RG13/5302/80 p6
Conchan Isle of Man
Frederick Anstruther 28 b Scotland


====
1911 census
10 Victoria Avenue Onchan, Isle of Man
 Fred Elliot Anstruther Claims birth in Fife, Scotland. Boarder
Ship’s purser b   Fife, Scotland
====


I wonder if Fife might be correct even though all his sibling all have RC baptisms at Southwark RC Cathedral OR Hanwell RC church.
His untracable, supposed father

There are other curious examples of name changing between baptism and Civil Registration.

Thank you for your response.
I was in the middle of adding/modifying my post and must have pressed the Send button and then had an incoming 90 minute phone call!  I will try to get my head back into 'brickwall' mode of posting.   Further detail to come.

Conchan is a older spelling of Onchan!
But same place.

Found him on 1921 in Islington. Ancestry have him as Fred Ethel Anstroths, but by his age, pob [Fife] and occupation (once you read the image) fairly sure it's him!

Died in 1943?

An F Anstruther (an unusual name on Island) is noted as a mourner at the funeral ( 28 May 1908) of Thomas Weston who was landlord of the Talbot Hotel in Athol Street - maybe this was his watering hole - might also be worth do a search of newspapers in case he had other social links
any thing with a Manx Connection
