Anything is possible

Shirley Crabtree, Jr (14 November 1930 – 2 December 1997), better known as Big Daddy, was an English male professional wrestler

Short version of Henrietta - Henrie 'Enrie' (Emma or Emie [Emmie}) ? = 'Enrie') for short becomes 'Henry' and maybe baptism is wrong

Enrie sticks and changed to Emy or Amy (Emie-Emily or Emma) because of confusion with Henry

 My Gt gran was Mary put down as Harry in 1851 census
In my opinion the marriage residence is not always the place of birth. Never forget Workhouse and overseers accounts records of birth

Hi team

Off track slightly, but was Hannah Fry of the Wells, Somerset Fry's?!

Not as far as I'm aware, I'm afraid, but haven't gone much further back on her line yet

One of my relatives was baptised in 1792 and named Francis/Frances.
The handwriting on the OPR is indistinct and could read as either.
It simply states 6th child and no gender is given.

I know the child  was male because I found his marriage and death.
Every other person researching the family has decided the child was female ( all copied from each other)
Francis's brother was my direct ancestor and as he did have a daughter named Frances, it seems to be the reasoning in assuming her "uncle" was female.
