Hello
Heavy work but lots getting sorted now.
I cannot find my Gt Grannie Emily Elizabeth Frair/s or Fryer's Birth but she was evidently born c 1852 and in Antrim. Her Dad was Samuel and her Mum must have been Elizabeth McCreanor.
Their Family were all born in Aghalee:

So, there are two more Male Fryer/Friars who may be your parent of grandparents of those two wives.
