Talk:Joseph Loxdale Frost

Family
On 31 October 1861 Frost married his brother Thomas, "of Liverpool", to Mary Ann Antwis, daughter of the later Samuel Antwis of Aston, Cheshire. This is enough to identify Thomas with the father of Constance Frost, a "wealthy shipowner and merchant". It is known that with his family he later moved to New Zealand. I think Thomas Frost as a shipowner was known as "Thomas Frost jun.", which gives a number of hits. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:05, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

This page, which partially checks out against some newspaper research I have done, gives JL Frost six brother and a sister. JL Frost's grandfather was a James Frost, timber merchant in Macclesfield. That page, though, doesn't have Lawrence's sister Hannah, who married Samuel Thorp (1791-1860), silk manufacturer in Macclesfield and its mayor. That connection would give JL Frost an uncle with a textile factory, which in context would certainly be interesting. Charles Matthews (talk) 16:17, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
