Frederick Young (1867-1949)
In 1919, Mr F.A Young of Wortham near Diss placed an advertisement in the local newspaper to sell some of his belongings, including the tools of his trade – tailor’s sewing machines – as well as two dulcimers and some mandolins. Frederick Austin Young (1867-1949) was not a local man, he had been in the village perhaps some ten years or so, having been born in Great Dunmow, Essex and lived in Cardiff and Ipswich. The reason for the sale is that he was on the move again, first locally to Shelfanger, where he was in June 1921, and subsequently to Bristol, where his son was living and where Frederick lived until he died nearly thirty years later.
