Henry Fry b- 1826 Barnstable Devon. Married Jane Carter 1851 Barnstable. Immigrated to Canada where he had additional family & died
Any information would be great. Thanks. Henry Fry is my 3rd great grandfather

Have you thought about purchasing the marriage certificate? It's the best way to know for certain who Henry's father was.

'The General Register Office holds a central copy of all birth, adoption, marriage, civil partnership and death registrations for England and Wales.'
Here is the link:
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp
You will need to make a free account to search the indexes or, in this case, order the marriage certificate.
Click 'Place an Order' - England and Wales - Marriage - '1851' - 'I know the GRO Index Reference' and then use the information I supplied above to fill in the details.
I have never ordered from abroad but I assume it will be sent to you by post the same way as if you were in the UK, it will probably just take a bit longer (assuming you still reside in Canada).
Hope this helps you!

Is this the business in 1852?

I now have the marriage certificate.
It states Henry's father as john Fry - corn factor. No mother. it looks like a witness was Thomas Fry.
Very difficult to find anything about John Fry and I think his wife Mary.
Thanks Leslie

Circumstantial but there's a John Fry b. 1788 East Down nr. Barnstaple
father Richard, mother Mary. Among the siblings is a James Fry b. 1786 (poss. witness).
I notice his 2nd. born son was called Richard.
Marr: Richard Fry=Mary Bryant 22/3/1784 E. Down.
Occ: Husbandman.
Wit: Peter Bryant & John Boyle.
All signed.
One for the back burner perhaps.
