Location of grave

[Hilary Calvert]

I would like help to locate the grave of:

Ann Fry. Born 1835 died 1905.
On a picture of her grave the wording is:
42 years faithful servant and friend
In the family of Reginald T. Cocks
And his daughter Mrs W. Nicholson

My only clue is that there was a Buckinghamshire connection but it is not certain.

HAve you found her death on FreeBmD?
Got a copy of death cert to see where she died?

[lizdb]

This looks like it - but Devon not Buckinghamshire

Death
Jan/Feb/Mar 1905
Crediton
ref 5b 312
Ann Fry age 70

[lizdb]

Or, looking at deaths in Buckinghamshire -

Death
Jul/Aug/Sep 1905
Eton
Ref 3a 409
Ann Fry age 68

If she had been a servant to the Cocks family for 42 years, then have you found her with them on the censuses? Likely she died in the same area, esp as they are mentioned on the headstone (probably paid for it, if she was a servant).

Good find Rosie

That address was HErtford Street, Westminster

And she was born Great Marlow Bucks

[lizdb]

She isn't with them in 1881
Perhaps she is now with the daughter referred to as Mrs W Nicholson (I guess W is her husbands initial)

Daughter Amabel married William Newcombe Nicholson Oct/Nov/Dec 1874
