_______________________________________________
Eldest son of Alfred and Jane Oram. He was educated at the Royal School in Armagh. Towards the end of the 1914 – 18 war, Frederick went to Trinity College, Dublin, where he took a degree in Engineering (he had heart trouble so was unfit for active service). Frederick then took up teaching which he did for the rest of his life, except for 3 years spent in Rome studying for the priesthood. There followed two appointments as curate and a period as secretary to a bishop.
