			Fred Snell was born in Birkenhead, Wirral, Uk
			and started boxing at the age of 16 and was a
			great lover of the outdoor life and spent much
			of his spare time at the leasowe camping site
			a few miles from where he lived.

			By 1924 he had taken part in at least 100 fights
			but only some details of these are available at
			this time. He had completed his apprenticeship
			at the local shipyard as a boilermaker and had
			the urge to travel.

			He worked his passage to Canada in 1924 as a
			steward and settled at first in toronto.
			his first fight was with Chief Halftown and
			degenerated into something worthy of a
			music hall farce. Fred ( my Dad) was unaware
			that the local gangsters had there money
			on Halftown . Fred knocked him clean out
			of the ring only to find a mad dash of men
			in suits throw him back in. Fred lost
			the fight on an alleged foul as it was the
			only way Halftown could win.

			The night before this fight was also quite
			memorable and he wondered later if this was
			just a chance event. Sitting in his
			hotel room trying to relax when two men
			broke into the room and pointed a gun at him.

			Much to their surprise Fred's response was to
			say "How dare you point a gun at me I'am an
			Englishman f..k off" . They then asked him
			where some other guy was and got the same reply.
			They then left saying they would try upstairs
			where the sound of a party could be heard going
			on. Fred never found out what happened at the party.

			In Oct of 1924 Fred had managed to save enough
			to pay for his future wife Peggy to join him
			from England. The day she arrived was not the
			best of timing as he had a fight that same day
			with Johnny Paske, which he won on points.

			When asked about whether she was non to pleased
			about this he simply said "she was a bit put out"
			" but seeing me win seemed to settle things". They
			married some 2 weeks later.
