My name is Alan PAUL, I am try to find out some details of a branch of my family who migrated to Country Queensland in 1883. See below for what I have found out so far. Henry FRYER son of John FRYER and ELLEN (nee possibly LEE) married Eliza IVES, daughter of Thomas IVES and Eliza WRIGHT on the 27th May 1882 in Trinity Chapel, Easton Street, High Wycombe Buckinghamshire, England. In October of 1882 they migrated to Queensland landing in Rockhampton in January of 1883 along with William and Eliza FRYER. I presume they are related but as yet I have not pursued this.
