JAMES FROOD 1799-1856 - SON OF JAM(E)S FROOD

JAMES FROOD  1799-1856 
Record:
James Frood married Elizabeth Sargeant Vosper in the parish of Rame 1.9.1825
Possible baptism of James recorded in Callington on the 12th December 1799, son of James and Mary - a widow's son.
James was the eldest of 6 children - he had four brothers and one sister. James (1799); Thomas (1801); Henry (1803); Eliza (1806); Frederick (1808) and John (1810).
James is described as 'Supervisory Inland Revenue'. It would also be likely that he was an accomplished sailor. His brother Henry Frood, was a master mariner who married Mary Ann Rew,at St Dunstan Church Stepney (famous mariners church). Henry would probably have been engaged in commercial coastal trading (Plymouth to London) under sail which may account for their association with London.
Between 1825 and 1849 James and Elizabeth had 12 children, as they journeyed from Cornwall, to Banwell, to London, then Towcester and Northampton.
