QM2 World Cruise 2012
Frederick Wallage is my Gt. Uncle who was born in Calcutta 18th June 1848 to Thomas and Elizabeth Wallage. Thomas was a senior ship's Captain in the East India Co and his wife travelled with him throughout the East Indies.
Sadly their son Frederick died when his nurse dropped him 28th April 1849 whilst they were at Singapore. He was only 10 months old.
I have found where he would have been buried at Fort Canning in Singapore. Unfortunately the burial records were destroyed and the graveyard cleared, but many of the tombstones have been set into a wall in the park.
During our 24 hrs in Singapore I plan to visit on Sunday 1st April to see what remain at Fort Canning, and to pay my respects.
