A tree on Ancestry has Frederick Bray born Jan. 1883, England, parents Frederick Henry Bray & Martha Turner.
He married Louisa Warwick, had 2 children, Margaret (1911-1968)) and Irene Eleanor (1918-1975).
It says Frederick died Jan. 1967, Hamilton, Ontario.

But surely the Frederick we are looking for is the son of Thomas and Sarah?

I know, Astra, but this thread has confused me right from the start!
It's just too much of a coincidence That there's a Frederick & Louisa Bray who were born in England and living in Hamilton/Wentworth, Ontario.

I think you have all of this, TREVOR, I'm just trying to get it straight in my head. Evidently the marriage in Ontario was not your Frederick.

Back to Square One.
I believe this is your Frederick?
1891 census
8 Orpingley Rd., St. Mary, Islington, London
Thomas Bray, head, 45, tailor, born Not Known
Sarah, wife, 46, born Gloucestershire, Gloucester
Bertha, dau, 14, tailoress apprentice, born London, Kentish Town
Willie, son, 12, grocer's errand boy, born Middlesex, Finchley
Alice, dau, 10, born "
***Frederick, son, 8, born London, Pimlico

So in 1901 his mother has remarried and he's a stepson.
1901 census
8 Orpingley Rd., islington
Thomas Parratt, head, 54
Sarah, wife, 54
William Bray, stepson, 22

All born London except Thomas born Brighton.
