Am interested in confirming that John FRYER b. 2JAN1806 at Shelton, Norfolk, England and who died 2JAN1864 at Holbeck, Yorkshire, England was the son of William Fryer and Elizabeth READ. Family records give the above, and John FRYER appears in the 1851 census at St. Jude, Hunslet, Yorkshire with birthplace as Shelton. But thorough search of Shelton parish registers, BTs and ADTs does not locate John there. Have also searched extensively through many nearby parishes without success. Family records also say John had sisters Elizabeth and Jemima but have not found their baptisms. If we could find baptisms for any of these children we could determine if William and Elizabeth are the parents. Have marriage record for William FRYER to Elizabeth READ 14FEB1801 at Shelton, he a widower and she a widow and both "of this parish". John FRYER married Sarah Martha WIGGER (b 1801 St. Augustine, Norwich) 11AUG1833 at Lakenham St. John, Norwich, Norfolk and I have located their marriage record. They had children: Elizabeth 1834-1896, Jane 1835-1926, Emily 1837-1847, and Walter 1839-1844, all born at Norwich. The parents appear with all four children in the 1841 census of St. Augustine, Norwich, Norfolk. But the 1851 census at St. Jude, Hunslet, Yorkshire only lists parents with Elizabeth and Jane--Emily and Walter had died previously. I am descended from daughter Emily who emigrated to America and settled in Utah. Would appreciate any help. Thanks. Phil Snelgrove snelgrove@pxi.net
