Hi Gary,
John Fry, son of Henry Fry (c.1730, ?) and Ann Seward (March1732, Wambrook), born April?, 1760, Wambrook.
The Wambrook register is damaged for many entries from the 1730s to after the 1760s. The exact date of John's baptism is illegible, but in section above 1761
There is, however an early 19thC transcript. The Transcriber found April.
Ann Seward, his mother, was the daughter of George Seward and Ann of Wambrook. Don't know when they married, but I have distinguished this couple as her parents - though for a time I had her confused with 2 other contemporary Ann Sewards in the neighbouring village of Chardstock! She did have a brother, John.
I cannot confirm your trail, but it certainly seems likely. I have found a different spelling to Mary Mattocks -- Matlocke.
As I am in Portugal, although closer to the UK, reaerch problems are much the same!
