Nancy, I find one discrepancy in your information. It is regarding Anna Fry. Here are all my notes from Thomas's file. As you can see, Anna's maiden name is unknown. She was married to Sam Fry, and it appears that David Fry is probably her father in-law or a brother-in-law, not her father. Also, you will see another date for Thomas's birth --- Dec 31, 1844 or 1845 --- in the notes that comes from his death certificate, also --- 31 Dec 1844 --- in his pension record. Do you have a source for January as the month?
