He declared that he was born in Bristol, England; that his next of kin was his mother, Mrs. Emma Jefferies, who resided at 21 Lancaster Street, Bartonhill, Bristol, England; that his date of birth was June 27th, 1895; that he was a machinist; and that he was not married. He was described as 5 foot 6-1/2 inches in height; dark complexion; brown eyes; and dark hair. He was a member of the Church of England. He had a distinguishing mark of a scar above his left shoulder.

On September 23, 1919, Frederick Jeffreys entered the United States as a passenger of the SS Megantic which sailed from Liverpool. He declared that he was 23 years old; that he was from the War Office in London, England; that he was en route to New York, New York; that he resided previously in the United States for 9 months to 1915; that he was going to 283 Sterling Place, Brooklyn, New York; and that he was born in London, England.
