My research has recently found a connection between the families of FROOD and VOSPER, confirmed in a document describing the relationship between Thomas Vosper (b. 1825), the youngest son of George Vosper and Mary Menhennick and the Frood family. Thomas married his second cousin Amelia Frood, who was the eldest daughter of James Frood and Elizabeth Sargeant Vopser. Thomas was located in Lewannick, Egloskerry and Calstock, in Cornwall - the Launceston area.
Thomas was a successful businessman, however his wife is described as some one who was involved in matters of the church to the detriment of her social responsibilities. 'They did not have a happy marriage'. They both died in Hackney, she in 1881. They did not have any children.
Amelia is shown in the census of 1841, at the age of 16, to be staying with her grandparents Jams and Constance FROOD in 1, Hay Moor, in the parish of MADRON.
