Title: Surname - Fry
Post by: LynnY221 on Sunday 10 August 14 21:09 BST (UK)

Hi

I am looking for some information on a Roger Fry born 1944 possibly in Warwickshire.

He eventually moved to West Sussex and married Dorothy Horn.

Thanks

Is this person still alive?

I won't mention names, in case they are still living - but you can use FreeBMD to find out.

What other information did you want to know?


There is a death, in Newbury, 1993 of an Eva Lucy K Fry?

Hi

Thank you so much this is great. It was for my partner, I started doing my own tree and he wanted to do his but didnt really know his fathers side of the family.

Any information at all is fantastic - so that it can give him a solid starting point.

Thanks again  :)

I think he's going to need the grandparent's marriage certificate?
There are so many William Fry's out there - knowing his father's name would be a help! ;D
