Fry family

* * *

 Part 1: William Fry (? - ?)

 

Marriage to Hannah

Nothing can be confirmed about the life of William Fry except that he had a wife called Hannah/Anna (surname possibly Ogborn) and they had six children: John, Nancy, an unnamed girl, Anna, William and George. Some family trees available on the internet suggest that William's parents were John Fry (1731-1790) and Grace Heath (1727-?), that he was baptised 06 January 1753 in Winscombe, Somerset, England and died in Winscombe in 1796. However though there is documentation (a marriage record for a William Fry and Anna Ogborn 09 April 1770 in Winscombe and a burial record for a William Fry 01 May 1796 at St James the Great Church, Winscombe) but  as yet there is nothing to prove they are one and the same person.

 

 Children of William and Hannah

John (c1772 - ?) was baptised 03 March 1772 in Winscombe. Nothing else is known of him.
