Frederick A. Worrall. He was very likely the Frederick Arthur Worrall, born 2 February, 1870, in Manchester, who on 20 March (1870) was christened in Saint Saviour’s Church, Manchester, and whose parents were Thomas, a clerk in 1871, b. 1818 at Appleton, Cheshire, and Elizabeth Worrall (nee Birchall; b. 5 December 1829 at Ashton in Mackerfield, Lancashire), and who in 1901 lived at Barton Street in Moss Side, Lancashire, and was a coal merchant. His parents had married 26 September 1854 at St. John’s Church in Preston, Lancashire (probably in the Church of England tradition). His known brothers and sisters were Mary Elizabeth, b. 1855 (Warrington), Henry Thomas, b. 1856 (Warrington), Annie Maria, b. 1859 (Warrington), and John William, b. 17 March 1867 (Manchester). He had gone to the USA at some point prior to 1896, possibly in 1890. He had married /Bridget/ Cecilia Higgins 21 June 1893 in Manhattan, New York. She had been born 30 March 1868 in (Mountmellick) Ireland and died 22 March 1896, purportedly aged 26, in Manhattan, New York, her address listed as 159 W. 66th Street. They had two sons, Arthur Thomas, 6 (b. 22 April 1894), and Frederick Timothy, b. ca. 1895, both of whom had been born in the USA. In 1901, he lived at Barton Street in Moss Side, Chorlton, Lancashire, and was noted as a coal merchant aged 31. His sons Arthur T., 6, and Frederick T., 5, lived with him, as did his siblings Mary E., 46, Annie M., 40, Henry T., 45, a coal merchant, and Henry’s wife Hannah E., 37. In 1911, his sons Arthur and Frederick lived in Gorton, South Manchester, in the household of their aunt, Frederick’s sister Mary E. Worrall. They were both described as unemployed ’J M’ clerks. It is not immediately known where Frederick Worrall, Sr., lived at the time. Frederick Arthur Worrall had left Liverpool, England, 26 February 1914 as a second cabin passenger on the steamer Baltic and had arrived in New York 7 March 1914 . He was bound for his home in Red Bank, New Jersey. He was 44 years of age, widowed, and a native of Manchester, England, and was described as a ‘nursery man.’ His last place of permanent residence was Manchester, England. His closest relative was his sister Annie, who lived at 42 Melbourne Street, Gorton, Manchester. He was 5’10” tall, had dark hair and blue eyes. He was lost when the Lusitania sank.
