In mid-January I sent a message to the LWMFHS via their Contact email address.

I'm still waiting for a reply, or at least an acknowledgement that my query has been seen.
I am not a member of the society and have no way of contacting anyone to check!

Please help... :(

Kent Lookup Requests / Re: Tonbridge Workhouse - possible Look Up please

Basically, I'm trying to find John’s death/burial and I've looked in all of the 'obvious' places. I’m beginning to think that he died in the Workhouse. He was not on 1861 Census there.

17 Jun 1852 burial in Frittenden, Kent
Notes: Man Aged Between 30 & 40, 5'3" in Height, Found Drowned In A Pond In This Parish
John Fry (age 48)
Residence: Frant



John Fry's name is added to the bottom of the burial register page, and referenced to the drowning note above with an asterisk (*)

Hello Ashtone

Thank you for your post - that's great! (I haven't been able to find the Frittenden buriai record anywhere online).  :(   I'm very grateful indeed.

Hello Alan

I'm really delighted with your detailed information and for going the extra mile to help me. What more can I say!

Thanks,
Melbell

Hello rosie99 and grandarog

Thank you for your posts re John FRY.

John was born in Speldhurst c.1809. He and his wife Sarah were in Frant on the 1841 Census.

They moved to Tunbridge Wells and on the 1851 Census John was living with of two of his young daughters; (the eldest was with her grandmother back in Frant). Sarah was in the Infirmary (near Grosvenor Road), where she died in July the same year. A John Fry (presumably her husband) registered the death. The two younger girls remained in the Tonbridge Workhouse, at least until the 1861 Census.

Basically, I'm trying to find John’s death/burial and I've looked in all of the 'obvious' places. I’m beginning to think that he died in the Workhouse. He was not on 1861 Census there.

Thanks for helping me,
Melbell

Thanks for your post, but I'm not able to access these FS records online, which is why I was hoping that someone might be able to look in person. There's always a chance.... :(

Thank you anyway,
Melbell

Would anyone be able to do a look up in the Tonbridge Workhouse Admissions & Discharge Registers please?

I'm not asking for lengthy details, just to know if a John FRY is indexed (or similar) between 1851 and 1861?

Thank you,
Melbell
