Fry family
« on: Monday 24 October 22 21:58 BST (UK) »
Hi
Looking for info on the fry family of Londonderry/Derry
Catherine Fry nee Simpson was a cousin of my late grandfather Samuel (Sammy) Simpson 1898-1989. Catherine and Samuel’s fathers David and Robert were brothers. Any info on this family would be welcome.
Regards Argyle

Presumedly Catherine was a FRY by marriage, so it is her husband's family that you are interested in?

Where, when, and who did she marry?

This marriage?

James Fry was in the Army and so may not have originally been from Londonderry. His father is noted as deceased (and not named), on the marriage entry,

There was only one Fry family in County Londonderry at 1911 census, but no James.

By 1921, James Fry seems to have been a Sergeant in the R.I.C., per mention in memorial notice for one of Catherine's brothers.
