FRY baptism - Crookham look up?
« on: Friday 27 April 12 07:09 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone.

I wonder if anyone can look up the baptism of a John Fry B circa 1823 Crookham who later became a Baker in the village - it is his parents I am looking for?

Thanks for taking a read

I'll ask for this to be moved to Hampshire.
Did he later wed, and what father (if any) was given then?

Are there any useful records on Knightroots?

I think that Crookham was in the 1820's and still is now in West Berkshire so what is the benefit in moving this post to Hants? Was it in Hants in the mid 1820's?
Can you tell me what is Knightroots please?

Cancel that I have Knightsroots and there are no entries for Crookham on that site. The Crookham near Basingstoke is NOT the one I am interested in, mine is the one in Berkshire just outside Newbury.

Thanks for your help anyway

I  am looking for relatives of a Crookham (Berks) baker called Fry - but a generation or three more recent than your John.

Ernest James Fry (son of James Charles Fry and his wife Ellen Rose née Dowling) died in 1 Feb 1919.  I have recently been successful in persuading the Commonwealth War Graves Commission to accept that he was a casualty of war.  They would now like to consult his next of kin about the epitaph on the headstone they plan to erect on his grave in Thatcham Cemetery.

Ernest was born in 1885 and could well be a grandson of John. Are you closely related to this line?  Is anyone reading this a descendent of one of Ernest's siblings Albert or Jesse?
