George Fricker was born/baptised circa 1784,East Knoyle,Wiltshire.
At some point,probably after discharge from the Army in 1814, he moved to St. Mary, Scilly Isles,Cornwall and his wife was Mary, family name possibly "Thomson" or "Thompson".was born/christened in St.Mary Scilly Isles, Cornwall on 18th March, 1793.Her siblings are possibly Elizabeth (1789),Sarah ( 1796),John ( 1797)
In 1814 George was discharged from the army through having a diseased foot.he was discharged in Plymouth.
In 1871,his wife Mary is a widow.
Their children were all born in St. Mary,Scilly Isles,Cornwall from about 1816 onwards,children Mary,Eliza,Elizabeth,Sally,John,George.
John and George emigrated to the Colony of Victoria, with their wives arriving at Melbourne,Victoria on the "Tornado" in September 1856, and settling at Coghills Creek straight afterwards,where they both started their own families.
I am trying to find links to the Fricker family connected with George Fricker of East Knoyle,Wiltshire,circa 1784.Possible siblings of his are Robbin (1777),Elizabeth ( 1779),Love Charity ( 1788), Kizia ( 1790),another Elizabeth ( 1791)The 1st Elizabeth of 1779 may have died.
Possibly a contributing member's family history maybe a connect with the above or has come across information related to the above Frickers/and or can give me some advice about my search for my Wiltshire Fricker ancestors.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated !
Thank you !

Hi there,
Do not know if you still monitor this forum, but GEORGE FRICKER you refer to is a far distant relative of mine. My Gt Gt Grandfather being JOHN FLICKER (FRICKER) b 1826 Wincanton....

I've just found a Lovel Fricker married to Philip Burbidge b 1788 Jan 21 (my 1st cousin 5x's removed). They married 1809 Mar 28 in East Knoyle. Since I've just found her name I haven't chance to dig too much although I wonder if she might be your Love Fricker.

Hi there,
I think you are correct in relation to "Love".... Her name was actually LOVE CHARITY , baptised 2 November 1788.

Thanks for the birth info.

I found marriage document for Philip Burbidge & Lovel Fricker East Knoyle 1809. I note the other post indicating Love Charity birth for 1788 Nov 2. All future documents list a Philip Burbidge with an Ann. I can't find anything indicating death of a Love or Lovel. Ann doesn't seem to be an obvious nickname. Has anyone seen or have access to a death document for Love?
