    1. [SFHG] Baptisms on Family Search but not on Frontis for Frant parish
    2. Nina Teeder
    3. Hello everyone For years, I have wondered why my ancestor, John FRY, who died in 1785 in Frant, named in his Will a son, Robert FRY, for whom I didn't find a baptism at Lewes. There is no such baptism in the Frant parish register transcript CD produced by the Tonbridge Wells Family History Society and neither is there such a baptism on the Frontis website. However, on a random search on the Family Search website tonight, I found a baptism in Frant for Robert FRY, son of John and Anne on 18 March 1763. This would be exactly right, as John named his surviving children in order of birth date and the last child I found was James, baptised on 13 May 1761. Robert was named last in the Will. I compared all baptisms in Frant in 1763 on Family Search to the CD and to Frontis, and there is another entry on Family Search that doesn't appear on those: Perceval HART on 25 April 1763. Family Search has seven baptisms in 1763, the CD and Frontis have only five. I'm confused! Can anyone shed a light on this? Naturally, I would love the Family Search entry to be correct!
