Yep,we're almost certainly related.According to the family bible,George Barnes Fry was born Mar 20th 1831,on a saturday at 4.30pm in the morning.Mother Mari Anne Holton was born Feb 14th 1833.Harriet Ann Barnes Fry was born April 3rd 1857.There were a total of seven children.
I'll send you a copy of the original and typewritten extracts when I can find them.A little confused by the George Barnes Fry that you have as being born in 1826,though?!Have you been able to trace back any further than Justinian Barnes?

I may have some answers,and we could be related!I am in possession of a family bible referring to a Harriet Anne Barnes Fry born April 3rd 1857  who married a James Champ in 1873.They gave birth to my Great Grandmother Minnie Champ in 1884.It mentions Spetisbury Dorset ,the bible being the gift of Bishop Hall and Dr. Sloper in 1850.
What was the name of your GGGGGrandfather ?There are references to other members of the Barnes Fry family.He may be one of them.If we are related,have you managed to trace the family back any further?

Hi..it looks like we may be related . .my 3x gg father was George Barnes b 1826 and My 4 x great grandfather was Justinian Barnes b 1802 .  Harriet Ann was the sister of my gg grandmother Mary Ann ( daughters of George Barnes /fry and Mary Ann Holtham . ) the whole Barnes /fry saga has taken ages to sort out and I am still not sure why the family changes its name over the years . They are knows as Barnes , fry, Barnes fry, fry Barnes and wood on various census returns .!!!

Hi ...

I am trying to figure out why My GGGGGrandfather  suddenly changed his name from Barnes to Fry .

There are baptism and marriage records from the same parish ( Spetisbury Dorset )  for around  the same  time as my Ancestor for people known as  Barnes otherwise Fry and I think that there must be a link but have not been able to prove it yet.

 My question is  Why would a person be known as  Barnes otherwise Fry. ???

Thanks

Emma
