No birth registration found that could be his.

There are some later Frederick William births on the birth index:

Year  District
1856  Midlothian, Scotland
1859  Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland
1861  Lanarkshire
1864  Bristol, Glos
1865  Yarmouth, Norfolk
1865  Lanarkshire

we need to trace his movements through the censuses:

In 1951 he was with his widowed father and three sisters and his next brother Edward and two Eden cousins, not to mention two Eden cousins, Caroline and Alice.  He was 4 and born in Wimbledon, Surrey.

In 1961 he was with his father and his father’s new wife plus his sister Henrietta and brothers Alexander W and Edward H plus a mere nine servants.  He was 14, at school and born in Wimbledon, Surrey.

In 1971 there was a Frederick W Park in Greenock, Scotland, who was a law student, born in England in 1847 and who could have been him.

In 1981, he was not the married Frederick with a sister Louisa J and living in Clerkenwell as he did not have such a sister.

In 1891 there were no Frederick W Parks in the census.

In 1901 There was a Frederick Park born in Norton Somerset in 1844 so is not him.

In 1911 there was only a Frederick Park who was born in 1847 in Melksham so was not him.

So the censuses show he vanished either in the decade before 1871 or in that before 1881

I can find no death that looks like him and can only conclude that he went abroad and died there.

I have searched all the England and Wales wills from 1861 to 1911 in case he left a will in England and Wales, but none found.

The Mugglesgtone Family Tree suggests he died in Dorset in 1881 but has not attached any evidence for this.
