Samuel Fradd 1872

Samuel Fradd was born in 1872 in St Merryn, Cornwall, England and christened on the 17th  of November of that year.

He was one of five children born to Samuel and Ann Fradd nee Bennett both of whom were Farm Servants until Samuel Jr's father died when he was 5 years of age. Samuel Jr was also listed as a Farm Servant in the 1890 England Census.

In 1898 Samuel who was listed as a 25 year old Able Seaman, sailed from London aboard the Orizaba to Sydney, Australia. From here he made his way to New Zealand where he settled.

Samuel was a member of the Waterside Workers Union and lived at 36 Karori Road,Wellington, New Zealand where he was employed as a wharf labourer where in 1904, he broke his leg in a cargo hold on the SS Banffshire.

In 1916 he registered as a reservist for Expeditionary Force for World War 1.

Enrolled reservists had the chance of their name being drawn from a ballot whereas men who were not enrolled were forbidden to be employed and were sent straight into camp. Those who failed to notify a change of their address were liable to be charged with desertion. There is no record of Samuel's name being drawn out in a ballot so it appears he did not fight during WW1.

On the 16th November 1922 Samuel was charged £2 for "Playing Hazards" (a game of chance) when a group of 14 were arrested playing on the Tug Wharf surrounded by a circle of fishing baskets. An undercover policeman dressed as a waterside worker was key in the arrest. Samuel was described in the magistrates record as 5 ' 9', ruddy complexion, grey hair, blue eyes, and with a big nose. He also had a Dancing-girl tattoo and an anchor on his left forearm.

Nicknamed Clagger, he died on the 4th of October 1944 in Wellington, New Zealand where he resided in 70 Vivian Street. He never married and had no known children.
