Hi (Leo???)

Just responding to your changes on the FW page (which has been nominated for deletion, so this may be an academic discussion) - I'm now really, really confused - as I thought Fred was one of the Woodbridge ones, and there are about 4 of them born around that time it makes it very confusing, so your correction came as a bit of a surprise - however, now nothing makes sense because you have written that he was born in 1878 (though I can't find any record of this ones Birth or Death in Birth Marriage Deaths), but even so this completely messes things up - as I have a painting by Fred from 1887 (when he would be nine! and it does not look like the work of a nine year old and in any case is signed with a female partner which suggests that its not). So are there two Fred Whisstock artists - or what is happening???? My father mentioned that he sometimes signed himself Lieutenant, and that he was in the reserves. Anyway - I'm interested in this, and I think we've emailed before, so please contact me as I'd love to know more (and sorry if I got it wrong!)James Whisstock (talk) 12:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
