Husband: Frederick James Bendall
| Name: | Frederick James Bendall | |
| Sex: | Male | |
| Father: | Offwood Bendall (1814-1885) | |
| Mother: | Mary Wren (1817-1890) | |
| Note (shared): | Frederick James Bendall, iron founder, married Ida Kate Brooks in 1876. He died
of cancer in 1890 leaving Kate with 5 young children - I think he was in
Hillingdon because it would be difficult at home with a young family. Charlotte
Brooks (Kate's elder sister) was 'present at the death'. The family moved from a
beautiful house in Manningtree to Ipswich - and I think were supported
financially by Kate's father. There were 5 children.

sons, Derek and 'Nat'. They were a lot older than me and I don't remember
meeting either of them early on - but in the 1960's Nat was an apple grower in
Ditchling, Sussex - my memory is that he was in his 60's then; married twice but
I know nothing about children. I never met Ida.

and married Herbert Baker - they were missionaries (I think somewhere in
Africa); they had 5 daughters - they must all have been well grown up before
they came back to England; I only ever met one - she was deputy governor of
Holloway prison - and a lot older than me but I met her once in the 1960's. I
know nothing of the others. I never met Dorothy.
