I believe this is him going out in 1919 after winding up his business. See above.

Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1800-1945 about Frederic S Elkington
Name: Frederic S Elkington
Arrival Date: 8 Nov 1919
Age: 36 Years
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1883
Gender: Male
Ethnic Background: English
Port of Departure: London, England
Ship Name: British Marquis
Port of Arrival: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Friend's Name: Anglo Sanon
Last Residence: England
Birthplace: Ipswich, England
Microfilm Roll Number: T840_135


He was a civil engineer whose mother, Charlotte Elkington of Bentley Hall, Suffolk, was down as nearest relative. Wonder why Dora wasn't mentioned?
Also wonder why the gravestone above has 1919 down as his death? And why he is in a Naval cemetery?

EDIT Just noticed he was a widower.

The Stanford name comes from his father's mother, Ann Stanford, who was from Glamorgan.
