Hans Molier Posted 5 February , 2005 Share Posted 5 February , 2005 Dear guests and members, I'm looking for more information about VC-winner Frederick Dancox. I only need information about his private life, before his VC-action, like his education, his occupation before he went to the army, if he was married and if he did have any children, and so on. Thank you and regards, Hans Molier Chairman www.victoria-cross.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Lynott Posted 5 February , 2005 Share Posted 5 February , 2005 We had the pleasure of having two of Fred Dancoxs grandsons present at one of the Worcestershire and Herefordshire WFA meetings last years. He was born in 1879, educated at St Stephens School, married to Ellen they had four children and lived in the Barbourne area of Worcester. His medals are held by the regimental museum.

Hans Molier Posted 6 February , 2005 Author Share Posted 6 February , 2005 Oké Kevin, thank you very much. But he did have 4 children instead of 5 children ? Hans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Lynott Posted 6 February , 2005 Share Posted 6 February , 2005 Info is from a chat with one of the grandsons at the meeting, his surname wasn't Dancox so I asked if there were any other Dancox by the VC and he referred to cousins by three aunts and uncles on his paternal side, so I made the presumption of four children.
