Story
Judge Frederick Hubert McLaughlin was born in Boraston, Burford, Shropshire in 1840. Father Hubert had the living of the Parish. He was educated at Bromsgrove, Shrewsbury, and Magdalene College, Cambridge. He married Marianne Maurice in 1862 in Cirencester. A year after his marriage Frederick went to Bengal where he was appointed Assistant Magistrate and Collector in 1865. He became a District and Sessions Judge in 1884. Four sons were born while Frederick was in the Bengal Civil Service. Marianne died in 1875. Frederick was appointed Judge of Jessore in 1876, the year he married Elizabeth, according to the Index to Bengal Marriages. But it was on May 3, 1876 that their first son was born. The delivery took place while the couple were coming through the Red Sea on the India-England route aboard the S.S. Scotland. The boy was therefore named Percy James Scotland McLaughlin. Judge Frederick and Elizabeth went on to have more children: Frederick “Fred” George, Stanley, Sidney, Hugh, Eva, Nora (born 1888 in London), Cyril Crofton, Neil and Donough Crofton.”
The Judge retired in 1890 and lived successively in Richmond, Surrey, at Marina Villa, New Church Road, Hove, at Pitchcott, Aylesbury, and finally at a house in Tudor Road, Upper Norwood, London SE, which he named for his childhood home, Boraston. “Family legend has it that Frederick had grown rich by dealing in rubies while partnered with an Indian rajah. His emolument as a judge in 1880 was 2,000 rupees a month, or £2,000 per annum, about £80,000 ($150,000) in today’s money, at a very conservative estimate.”
Frederick’s brother, Edward, is also buried in Heene Cemetery
