Oh goodness the plot thickens This is fascinating. I think I'm an addict already. Looking forward to seeing your info!!

Hi again - I've since read the thread a bit more thoroughly so got Alfred's parents details from there. I'm so interested to know of any more information you may have going further back. I have very little to share as of yet but am happy to do so when and if I find information that is of value that you don't already have

Hi there,
I'm trying to find Fry's from Chippenham in Wiltshire, my forebears Henry and Ann sailed on the Will Watch and Lloyds ships respectively and settled in Riwaka, Motueka, New Zealand.
Henry was born in Chippenham in 1817 and Ann (nee Gagg) was born in Charleton, Wiltshire in 1820. I think Ann's parents were Richard and Ann, but I'm not sure of anything beforehand, as I'm dying to find out where they were from and the lineage back as far as possible! Thank you in advance!
