Title: Beatrice Fry 1938
Post by: jogobo on Tuesday 24 July 12 18:22 BST (UK)

Hi,

Can anyone help me find an obituary or burial place for Beatrice Fry who died 27 April 1938 at Cottage Hospital, Pontypridd? She was about 50 years old & her home address at the time was 20 Pentrebach Road, Pontypridd.

Thank-you

Jogobo

Hi Suzard,

Yes that looks right. Her middle name was Stopford.

I would modify your subject to include the middle name - as it is unusual

Last week I purchased a family album/ scrap book ( circa 1800's ) from a thrift shop. Inside that wonderful album is a photograph of a young girl dressed in Victorian attire posing with two small dogs that are inside a  baby stroller. Written beneath that photo is the name Beatrice Fry. On that same page is another photo of Beatrice Fry in a wedding veil...The album comes from the UK with lots of photos of Oxford school and hand written poetry. Could this be the same Beatrice Fry?
Greetings from Canada...

Hi Tina,

Oh I would really hope so. My Beatrice was born Beatrice Stopford Taylor in 1883 in Sheffield, England her parents were Edwin Stopford Taylor & Sarah Jane Brown both died when she & her brother Lawrence were young & they were raised by a family named Mozley. Beatrice had many half-siblings, Lydia, Edwin, Georgiana, Charles, Robert, Annie & Alice.
Beatrice married twice first to John William Holden with whom she had daughter Alice Hannah & then Bertram Fry & they had a son Bertram Lawrence.
You mentioned Oxford Beatrice had an Aunt Alice (nee' Brown) Agutter who lived in Oxford.
Does any of that help?

Oh, I failed to mention a poem written by Annie R Bennett, titled "How to learn the piano in five minutes."
