| George A. Frederick
Census Records:
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU (1850 Census Record, MD) Baltimore City, Ward 11, Sheet 129, Line 8 [ancestry.com]
Here John W.(clerk) and Margarett A. Frederick have three children: Volishis G., Mary A. and Alfonzo J. I believe that the architect Frederick switched his first and middle names at some point before he entered his career, becoming George Aloysius instead of Volishis George. These are the same ages and names of his family listed in 1860. George's birthplace is Maryland.
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU (1860 Census Record, MD) Baltimore City, Ward 11, Sheet 180, Line 13 [ancestry.com]
George "Fredericks" (17) listed as an Architect Apprentice, born in Bavaria, not Maryland--a mistake perhaps by the enumerator. He is the oldest with six younger siblings. His parents John M., clerk, and Margaret Fredericks, match with the names and German birthplace listed on the death certificate. The sister later recorded as Philomena here is Wilhemena.
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU (1870 Census Record, MD) Baltimore City, Ward 11, Sheet 227, Line 1-3 [ancestry.com]
George Frederick listed as a painter, not an architect, but the names and ages for himself and wife Mary are accurate. They have a servant named Rosa Fisher from Bavaria, the birthplace of his parents.
