Fred Carroll
 
Fred Carroll - About 1909
Frederick George Carroll was the only child born to Frederick W. Carroll and Mary Ann Tooley. Born on July 27th, 1883, Fredrick George went to live with his aunt, Martha Rutty-Scott when he was quite young after his father lost the family dairy and left his wife and young son. Frederick George was an accomplished pianist and played Albert Hall when he was only four; because he was so small, his teacher worked the pedals of the piano for him. He was born and raised in London, England, but moved to Canada shortly after the death of his mother Mary in 1906. He came west and tried his hand at farming, auto mechanics and playing the piano at silent movie houses. On December 23, 1915, he married Cora Violet Quinton and they had nine children:
  • Ethel Mary Joyce Carroll
  • Harriet Eileen May Carroll
  • Jean Violet Madeline Carroll
  • George Quintonn Carroll
  • Inez Bernice Helen Carroll
  • Ruth Dorothy June Carroll, born January 13, 1928  
  • Robert Guthrie Miller Carroll
  • Marjorie Ina Carroll
  • Gerald Frederick Carroll
The family moved to Winnipeg from Semans, Saskatchewan after Harriet was born. Fred became a travelling salesman for awhile, and the family also tried farming again for a short time. Upon returning back to Winnipeg from a summer of farming, Fred tried his hand at numerous jobs until his retirement in 1956.That same year, his wife, Cora passed away. Frederick lived two more years, and passed away on March 17th, 1958 at age 75.
