Biography of Frederick Dennett
HERITAGE NO : Frederick Dennett Fred Dennett was born in St Helens in July 1858. In fact all his nuclear family were from the town. That said the Dennett family lived in Widnes when young Fred was a lad. His father, James, was an alkali worker and the family lived in lived in Widnes Road, Widnes. By 1881, the Dennett family were occupants of the Canal Vaults, Canal Bank West, St. Helens where father James was the publican. Fred was a commercial clerk aged 22 and his sister, Maud, was a school teacher. Fred married Elizabeth Esther Lowe in October 1884 and they started married life at 173 Duke Street., St Helens. He worked as a County Council clerk. Elizabeth and Fred would raise three daughters and two sons. Although Fred would play four matches for the Saints in the 1890-91 season, he was destined to play a far greater role as an administrator. He became Secretary of the Saints and represented them at the inaugural ‘breakaway’ meeting: Club Secretary Fred Dennett represented the Saints and after a full discussion, the following resolution was adopted: “That the clubs represented decode to form a Northern Rugby Football Union and pledge themselves to push forward, without delay, its establishment on the principle of payment for bona-fide time only”. The Rugby Union forbade its member clubs from playing matches against the rebels but ‘Spectator’ in the St. Helens Newspaper mirrored the spirit of optimism shared by rugby enthusiasts in the town: “The committee of the St. Helens Club, backed, I believe by almost the whole, if not the whole of the members, have decided upon their course of action and have determined to take their places with the other clubs whose hope it is that future generations of sportsmen will say they did the right thing at the right time”. In a remarkable change in circumstances the Dennett family moved lock, stock and barrel to Newcastle-upon-Tyne in the 1900s. Fred became a Theatre Press Representative and they moved into 25 Grantham Road in Newcastle. Fred died in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in July 1930 aged 71.
