The 1911 Census records More Hall, Stroud as being in the occupation of Charles Henry Sharpe, age 52, Diocesan Missioner, and two lay assistants, 28 year old Thomas Hampton, and 20 year old Frederick Gater.
Gater came from Manchester, his family lived at Heaton Norris, he was killed in WW1 at Arras in 1917, and his name is on the War Memorial at the Catholic church of St Mary, Heaton Norris. So he must have also converted to Catholicism.
I stumbled onto this entry while attempting to research the names on this memorial.
Thank you so much, Lawrence, for these details which certainly contribute to a better understanding of More Hall at that time. Should you discover more information please feel free to make further additions or corrections. With every good wish. Richard Barton
Highly interesting, great reading and loved the sacred content !!
Fascinating to read about my great grandparents. Isobel Seddon’s daughter Ruth once told me (mischievously?) that Father Barker lived in the room above the lych gate at Painswick church.
Thanks, Nick, if you have any further information to add to this story please let me know, Good to hear from you. With kindest regards Richard
