When and where was Doris born?

Hi Mark E

Haven't been on this forum for a while.  I have my family tree on Ancestry.  Your grandmother Doris Verna Fry was my 2nd cousin 1x removed.  I have her dates as 1923-2009 in Nova Scotia.  Did she marry Norman W Bennett.  I would be very interested to share family information with you.
If you want to send me your email I could give you access to my Ancestry tree.

Best wishes

Just to satisfy my curiosity, Mark has put

'I'm descended from Isaac Fry, Thomas's son. Isaac's daughter, Doris, was my grandmother'

now Isaac was born in 1823 and you have Doris born in 1923, which does seem very impressive if a little unlikely.

Got me there Chempat!!!  Was so excited to hear from another relative I rushed right in without checking.   I do have a Doris with the dates I mentioned etc. but she was not the daughter of Isaac Fry.  Her father was Clarence Walter Fry 1899-1966 Nova Scotia.  My Thomas Fry was born 1788-1862 Somerset.  He did have a son named Isaac Fry ~1826 Somerset to 1893 Wales and he married Ann Budd.  I should have waited for more info from Mark E to find out which Isaac and Doris he was descended from.

Thanks for catching my mistake.
