Frederic Conquer (1792-1851) was a English philanthropist who had originally made his fortune owning the 'Wheal Bush' mine in the Gwennap mining district south of Truro, Cornwall, United Kingdom. He left Cornwall and headed for London after his brother Charles Conquer died of pneumonia. Upon his arrival in London he became attached to the homeless, in particular children and spent the rest of his life helping and aiding the poor.[1]
