In 1899, at the request of his wife's father, he added McCormick to his surname through a "Royal Licence" and the family name officially became McCormick-Goodhart.  In 1913, the family home, Langley Park in Kent, was destroyed by fire.  In 1920, Frederick and Henrietta decided to move to the United States and make their home there.
