  Family	Frederick Ernest FROST,   b. Abt 1885, Newington, Surrey
  Marriage	4 Apr 1906	St. Agnes, Newington, Surrey   [8]
  Notes	There is a 1939 Register for Ernest Frost, but it gives the DOB as 6/11/1896, which is surely at least partly incorrect. The presumed wife is Hannah, DOB 25/7/1894 which certainly doesn't match Emma Desborough. So this record is ignored.
