Hello Betty, I've transcribed some of the records for Kingsbury Episcopi, but not for the time period that you are interested in. At the marriage of your William HUMPHRY and Betty FRY, the witnesses are Samuel HUPHRY and Hannh FRY (typed as written) - which could suggest a family link. I was hoping to find that the witnesses for the two marriages on the 05 March 1781 would be significant, they both have James HUMPHRY and Wm GLOVER as witnesses. Samuel HUMPHRY is of the parish of Drayton and all the other people getting married are of Kingsbury Episcopi. I have access to a transcription of the baptisms by Geoff Hallett that may be of use. In the transcription there are no baptisms for the FRY girls. There are baptisms for some HUMPHRY/HUMPHREY boys: Born 13 Oct 1745 Wm HUMPHRY Wm and Sus <there appears be missing records for 1747-1752> 08 Feb 1754 Samuel HUMPHREY Wm and Sus 26 Mar 1773 Thos HUMPHRY James & Elizabeth (too late to be the Thomas below unless baptised as an adult) Two baptisms that could be the children of your William HUMPHREY and Betty FRY: 06 Nov 1776 William HUMPHRY William & Betty 28 Jan 1789 Hannah HUMPHRY William & Betty Yours Sarah Hawkins http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sarahhawkins/ On 6 Jul 2008 at 12:46, Betty Lark wrote: > Hello Listers, I am new to this list, my name is Betty Lark born St.Albans, Hrt. many moons ago, my parents and I emigrated to NZ 1952.
