I have just read all of the treats regarding Frederick Fleet. I can supply you with a lot of information as my family are related to him.

Frederick Fleet married Annie Clarke (born October 1896) and had a son called Alfred Fleet who was born on 28 May 1919. Alfred Fleet married Vera Davey, and had 2 children, one of whom is my Uncle by marriage. His name is Paul Fleet born 01/03/1948.

Paul Fleet knows much information about Frederick Fleet, and all the mystery that surrounds (even to the point that he may have been a bigamist, i.e more than one wife!)

A lot of what I have read on the internet is mis-informed, even to the point of who paid for his Gravestone (it was the White Star Line who paid). The White Star Line also bought Frederick Fleet a Public House in Southampton.

James Fleet, the actor, who appears in the Vicar of Dibley series, is Paul Fleets cousin.

If anyone feels that they are related to Frederick Fleet in any way, please contact me, and I will forward your details onto Paul Fleet to enable him to respond to you.
