Frederick George Carrington (1816–1864) was an English journalist.
Life.
The third son of Nicholas Toms Carrington, he was about 14 at the time of his father's death. His eldest brother Henry E. Carrington, proprietor of the "Bath Chronicle", took him on, and he became a journalist.
Carrington contributed to the West of England journals: the "Bath Chronicle", "Felix Farley's Bristol Journal", the "Royal Cornwall Gazette", the "West of England Conservative", the "Bristol Mirror", the "Gloucester Journal", and the "Gloucestershire Chronicle" (where he was for several years editor and proprietor). He also contributed to magazines, and wrote treatises on "Architecture" and "Painting" for the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.
In the "Encyclopædia Britannica, eighth edition", Carrington supplied topographical descriptions of Gloucestershire and other counties. He died at Gloucester on 1 February 1864, aged 47, and was buried in the cemetery there. He left a wife and six children.
