Shep's Place Family Tree

Frederick already had his LLB from London University. His place of birth was given as St John's Wood rather than Marylebone. I feel sure that they were one and the same when he was born in 1850.

Frederick was called to the bar in 1872 when he was 22 years old. He became a barrister of the Inner Temple, London.

"Carey, Frederick George, LL.B. London Univ. Four exhibitions 1871 and a member of Convocation, a student of the Inner Temple 27 Oct. 1869 ‎(then aged 19)‎, exhibition Trinity, 1872, called to the bar 18 Nov. 1872 ‎(4th son of Jonathan Carey, of London)‎; born 1850
6, New Court, Lincoln's Inn, W.C."

Suicide of a Barrister

"A Barrister named F.G. Carey shot himself through the head at his Chambers, 97 Elizabeth Street at 1 o'clock on Saturday morning. At that hour the report of a revolver shot was heard by an office boy named Reg. Smith, employed at the Union Mortgage Loan Co., who at once went over and opening the door of Carey's room found him lying on the floor with a bullet wound to his right temple, a five chamber revolver with one chamber recently discharged was clutched in his right hand. Three letters were found in the room addressed to the City Coroner, to Mr. Heslingden, 227 Macquarie Street, and to Miss Carey, Kent House, Addiscombe, Surrey. In the letter to his sister, Carey stated that the sum of 100 pounds was lying at his credit at the Commercial Bank. The body was removed to the South Sydney Morgue and an Inquest will be held today. Carey was a Solicitor of the Inner Temple, London, and had not practised in the Colony." The verdict of the inquest was suicide by shooting.
