I don't know what it stands for! He was living at Preston Street Exeter in 1914 ish-so guesssing he's probably the same area (I have strongs there already) but as to which group he belongs I'm not sure .

Seems odd-when he died in 1934-they had dropped the F M bit-just registered as Richard Frederick Strong-age 50.

Can't find him on 1891 or 1901
have found army records though. have you seen those?

Thanks yes-Found the army records first!-Thats what allerted me to him-I've covered most of the Strongs from Exeter and have the family groupings-but not him before-Seems odd he's not obvious-Someone very kindly sent me the details of his army record last night-he only last 46 days! he was sent home as 'unfit' to serve in the army as he decieved people and disappeared for 4 days! love to be able to fit him in with mine-he'd liven them all up a bit!!

can anyone see Frederick Bertram in 1891 or 1901-just wondereded if he was around-if they were both missing maybe they were abroad-the Father being in the army?-several of mine served in India in the British Indian Army (Royal sussex regiment)-just a thought

His marriage, will give his fathers name

In 1911 there is a Robert strong b1846 Exeter, Living with Richard and Lucy, maybe his father??, can't see full details not got credits..

will look for Robert in Census's

Sorry, Roberts in hiding too???

Thanks all-yes the family you found Henry and his 3rd wife (Yes thrird!) is my family-I was rather hoping that Rivhard may connect somehow as Henry was in the Indian army-he married his first wife abroad-then returned and had loads more and children.

Strange that Richard is disappeared though-i reckon they have been badly mistranscribed and are down as something odd-Will get to the library when I can and check the streets, rather than names ,where they should be street by street-Thanks for alll your help.


1881

Robert?-but he says he was born Ireland!

He's a master mariner though-so would possible account for Richard and Frederick being absent-maybe they were away on a boat somewhere?

PS How did you find 1911?

I cannot find a birth for Robert in Exeter-so maybe he was born Ireland. Still don't get the F M bit thoiugh-and I can't find a marriage for Robert and Lucy. think I'll give up for now!
