Hi
I am wondering if someone might be able to help me find the record of a burial or a headstone.
William Fry (1813-1870) was a silver engraver in Sheffied from 1837 and the patriach of quite a large family amongst whom were a number of silver engravers.
I can find no record of his burial on the Sheffield Indexers website although his wife and some of his children are there.
I have recently seen family papers in the National Library that suggest that William Fry was buried at St Mary's Sheffield. I think it would be the Anglican church. In the newspaper notice of his death it is stated that he died suddenly 16 January 1870 and was resident at Arundel Street.
I can't seem to find on-line access to burial records from St Mary's, although I may be looking in the wrong place. Perhaps someone on Rootschat might direct me to a resource or have access themselves
Also, from what I know, he was not a poor man and his children did very well financially, and I would be surprised if they had not erected a headstone to his memory. I am hoping it might have survived.
Any help members might offer would be much appreciated
Kind Regards
Morris
