PART OF 39
J.S. Fry's most intimate friend was his cousin, Dr Gawen Ball. They often met and would, I have been told, retire, after others had gone to bed, to the kitchen, there to enjoy their churchwarden pipes over the fire and to tell and re-tell each other their old stories and familiar jokes. Two of their rhymes, whether made up by them I do now know, were these:-
"To pay your debt be very slow For oft it may befall
That by some lucky hit or go, You need not pay at all."
and
"Tis a very good world that we live in, To spend, or to lend, or to give in,
But to borrow or beg, or keep a man's own 'Tis the very worst world that ever was known."
My other notes of J.S.F. are embodied in the following record of his wife.

2003...27 March...Jackie & I visit Sutton Benger Post Office and purchase the book "Sutton Benger, by Kay S Taylor...Extracts from the Book "Sutton Benger from Saxon Times to the Dawn of the 21st Century, by Kay S. Taylor." Page 17...Religious refugees from the continent, many of whom were in the textile industry, chose to settle in towns such as Trowbridge, Chippenham, and Bradford-on-Avon, which were centres of the Wiltshire clothing trade. . ....There is some correlation between the clothing towns and the areas in which Quakerism flourished. The seventeenth century clothier, Zephaniah Fry, embraced the doctrines of the new Society of Friends, with his home in Sutton Benger becoming a centre of Quakerism... In 1727 the newly built home of Zephaniah's son John, now the Vintige Inn in Seagry Road, was given a certificate of registration as a Quaker Meeting House. It was John's son Joseph who moved to Bristol where he founded the Fry's Chocolate Factory...Quakers were still much in evidence, although the Rev Davies had poor
Generation 8 (con't)
opinion of them. He provided the information that there were about seven known Quakers in two families of low degree... As already noted above, a century earlier the Quakers in Sutton Benger had been leading members of the community, with wealthy clothier Zephaniah Fry being a prominent figure in the North Wiltshire Society of Friends.... Not all the eighteenth century Quakers here were such humble stock as the Rev Davies implied, as Zephaniah's descendant John Fry was still active among them, and had published a book of Selected poems containing Religious Epistles etc. which was prefaced "Sutton Benger 25 March 1774"....

Dr. Joseph Fry
Born 16 March 1728. Died 29 March 1787
Eldest Son of John Fry, of Sutton Benger, Wiltshire.
Typefounder, and Author of 'Select Poems,'1774, 4th edition, 1793. He was educated in the North of England, and afterwards bound apprentice to Henry Portsmouth of Basingstoke, an eminent Doctor [Gentlemans Magazine 1787, vol. [vii. Pt. I. P. 385], whose eldest daughter, Anna, he afterwards married.
He was the first member of his family to settle in Bristol, where he acquired a considerable medical practice, and 'was led to take a part in many new scientific undertakings' [Hugh Owen, Two Centuries of Ceramic Art in Bristol, 1873, page 218].
After a time he abandoned Medicine for business persuits. He helped Richard Champion in his Bristol China Works, and began to make chocolate, having purchased Churchman's Patent Right. The Chocolate and Cocoa manufactory thus started has been carried on by the family down to the present day.
The success of John Baskerville caused Fry to turn his attention, in 1764, to 'Type-founding,' and he entered into partnership with William Pine, the first printer of the 'Bristol Gazette,' who had a large business in Wine Street.
Their new type may be traced in several works issued between 1764 and 1770. The manager of Messrs. Fry & Pine was Isaac Moore, formerly a Whitesmith at Birmingham [E. Rowe Mores, Dissertation upon English Typogr. Founders, 1778, page 83], after whose speedy admission to Partnership the business was removed to London, and carried on as ' Isaac Moore & Co, in Queen Street, near Upper Moorfields.'
Luckombe mentions Moore as one of three London Founders [History of Printing, 1770, page 244]. In 1774 the London firm produced a fine folio Bible, and in 1774-1776 a well-printed edition in 5 volumes. About this time they somewhat abandoned their earlier Baskerville style of letter, to follow the more popular Caslon character. In 1774 Pine printed in Bristol, a Bible in a pearl type, asserted to be ' the smallest a Bible was ever printed with.' To all these editions notes were added to escape the penalty of infringing the patent.
Two years later the firm became J. Fry & Co., and issued in 1777 reprints of the octavo and folio Bibles. Pine subsequently withdrew entirely. Fry took his sons, Edmund [died 1835] and Henry, into partnership in 1782, and bought largely at the sale of James's Foundry in that year. The business was removed to Worship Street, where in 1785 was issued 'A Specimen of Printing Types made by Joseph Fry & Sons, Letter-Founders and Marking Instrument Makers by the Kings Royal Letters Patent.' In the advertisement the proprietors 'flatter themselves' that the types which are now called new ' will mix with, and be totally unknown from, the most approved founts made by the late ingenious artist, William Caslon,'
The next year they published another 'Specimen,' with new founts, and including seven pages of oriental types. They now called themselves 'Letter-founders to the Prince of Wales.' Up to the time
Generation 9 (con't)
of his death Fry was a partner with Alderman William Fripp, as Fry, Fripp, & Co., Soap Boilers. This business is now in the hands of Christopher Thomas Brothers. Fry also had some chemical works at Battersea, in which his son assisted him.
Fry died after a few days illness on the 29th March 1787, age 59, having retired from business a short time before. Like his Father and Grandfather he was a member of the Society of Friends, and was buried at the Friars, Bristol. After his death the Chocolate and Cocoa manufactory was carried on by his widow under the style of Anna Fry & Son. The previous title had been Fry, Vaughan & Co. In 1795 the works were removed from Newgate Street, Bristol to Union Street, Bristol, where a Watt's Steam Engine was erected, the first in Bristol.
The son was Joseph Storrs Fry [1766- 1835], whose three sons, Joseph, Francis [1803-1866] and Richard were subsequently joined with him as J.S. Fry & Sons, the name the firm has since born. His widow was associated for a short time with her sons in the Type-foundry. She died at Charterhouse Square, London, on the 22nd October 1803, age 83.

We give below a copy of an Eighteenth Century Bristol document which may be regarded as of
Generation 9 (con't)
unique interest, on account of the circumstances which called it forth, the official attention which was given to it, and the extent to which, with certain parts of it, modern needs for Legislation are anticipated in it. The Sender of the memorial [Mr Joseph Fry] was born in 1723, and he was the Great Grandfather of the present Chairman of the eminent firm in Union Street. The memorial is endorsed by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury, and it is referred to the Commissioners of Excise for consideration and report. The full report on the memorial made by the Commissioners of Excise is dated June 27th 1776. The memorial was as follows: -
Treas. Board Papers. 1776. Bdle. 448.
To The Right Honourable The Lords Commissioners of The Treasury.
The Humble Memorial of Joseph Fry. of Bristol, Maker of Chocolate.
Sheweth
That the trading vessels from Ireland to Wales, Bristol, and many other parts of England, bring over very large quantities of chocolate, which is of a quality equal to much that is made in England, and is now become greatly in repute. It is sold publickly, and even daily hawked about the streets of Bristol, Bath, Salisbury, Worcester, and Birmingham, to the great diminution of his trade in those and many other places.
That in a clause in a late Act concerning hawkers a penalty of ten pounds is imposed on any person who shall hawk about tea, tho' he may have a permit with it; but Chocolate, altho' it pays two shillings and three pence per pound excise, besides about ten shillings per hundredweight on the Cocoa Nuts from which it is made [which is more than is paid on some sorts of Tea], is nevertheless not included in the said Clause, which your Memorialist presumes was an oversight, as it would certainly have been great check both to buyer and seller.
That the officers on Bristol tho' they do, or may know the Hawkers of this article, have several times assured your Memoralist they shall not take any notice
of them, or it, in future, because they have made many seizures and at one time above five hundred pounds weight on which they paid considerable expenses, but that they not only never received any gratuity for making the seizure, but were never repaid the money they were actually out of pocket for carriage to London, packages, &c.
Your Memorialist therefore with much deference proposes, that such Chocolate as may be seized in future, and shall be condemned may be sold as Brandy is, for as much as it will yield, and without first reserving the Duty of 2s 3d per pound, which would make the officers viligent [sic] and active to prevent smugling.
That it appears clearly to your Memorialist and to many who have attended to the subject of this memorial, that if one shilling or at least nine pence were to be taken from the present Excise Duty, and instead thereof seven shillings were to be paid on every hundredweight of Cocoa Nuts, when made into chocolate, which would be about six pence per pound on the shells they would produce, this practice of smugling would be much diminished and the lowering the price of Chocolate would proportionately increase the sale. As it is certain that good and beautiful Chocolate cannot be made in warm climates, and that abroad the English chocolate is preferr'd to most if not any other sort, doubtless very large quantities would be exported to the East and West Indies and many other places, if a suitable Drawback were to be allowed on Exportation, which if it were to be granted and the Duty now paid on the Importation of the Nuts were to remain, together with the above mentioned seven shillings, and three pence per pound of the Excise Duty, it would amount to above five pence per pound on all that should be exported, even tho' it should partly be run back into the nation again, whereas what is now smugled pays nothing.
To avoid countenancing fraud, by leaving the stamps of Inland Duty on exported Chocolate, it is humbly proposed that they should not be put on at all, but Devices of different kinds, for those intended for exportation, and those to be used for home consumption.
Generation 9 (con't)
It may perhaps not be amiss to observe to your Lordships that within about two years past smuggling is vastly increased in Bristol, and for many miles round, by a desperate Gang of Villains, who distribute immense Quantities of excisable Goods in those parts.
As is expected some alterations are likely to be made respecting Coffee or Tea, it is hoped the above may properly be considered at the same time.
All which is humbly submitted to your Lordships' consideration, to make such provision therein as may be most advantageous for securing the revenues and extending the trade.

2003...28 March...On a visit to the Frenchay Museum, Bristol today, Alan Freke told us that those who were buried at 'Quaker Friars in the centre of Bristol' were Reintered.
This was because that burial ground was turned into a car park and some building work done. He found out that the remains were Reintered in 1956, to the Avonview Cemetary, Blackworth Road, St. George, Bristol. He took us there and we took photos and a video of the New Headstone. Many of our Ancestors were buried at Quaker Friars over the years and this note is being applied to their files so that we know where any remains now rest.

2003...28 March...On a visit to the Frenchay Museum, Bristol today, Alan Freke told us that those who were buried at 'Quaker Friars in the centre of Bristol' were Reintered.
This was because that burial ground was turned into a car park and some building work done.
He found out that the remains were Reintered in 1965 to the Avonview Cemetery, Blackworth Road, St. George, Bristol. He took us there and we took photos and a video of the New Headstone. Many of our Ancestors were buried at Quaker Friars over the years and this note is being applied to their files so that we know where any remains now rest.

Robert Fry & Thomas Jones, of Bristol, Wool-Staplers, Clothiers & Woollen Drapers, took the premises in 1779, a close of meadow lately converted into an Orchard with a tenement thereon erected" .

In the case of the 1778 & 1781 entries the address was Cotham, Westbury-on-Trym, Gloucestershire. From the digest of deaths it appeared that the first 3 children died in childhood. Robert Fry, woolen draper died age 66 on the 28.8.1808. His Address was Somerset Square, Bedminster parish, County of Somerset. He was buried 2.9.1808 at "Friars" [ Quakers Friars in Bristol, as his children had been. Ann Fry was buried the 12.10.1817 having died aged 75 at Olveston Co. Co of Gloster, relict of Robert, woolen draper."
" I also noted that Zephaniah Fry age 72 of Fishponds died 30.4.1787 and his wife Abigail age 74 of Stapleton died 6.7.1781. The Bristol Trade Directory of 1794 gave Robert Fry woolen draper at 30, Castle Street and that of 1817 Fry and Wilson, woolen drapers, 30 Castle Street and also Zephaniah Fry 30 Castle Street. ".

living in 1860...is this Roberts son ....Robert ??...Because he is shown as the First Son of Robert
and Ann Bourne and is exactly what we have been looking for. It is in exactly the 'Right' place and shows he was born only 3 months after his parents were married and as such would NOT be entered in the Quaker's digest.

Elizabeth Fry, n'ee Gurney, Born 21 May 1780. Died 12 October 1845
Prison Reformer, born at Earlham in Norfolk, was the third daughter of John Gurney, Banker in Norwich, and member of an old Quaker Family. Her younger Brothers included Daniel Gurney and Joseph John Gurney. Elizabeth in youth joined in social gaieties. Under the preaching and influence of an American named Savery she became deeply imoressed by the Gospel. Her earliest work was to visit the poor at Earlham and in Norwich, relieving the sick, and forming a class for the instruction of the children.
At the age of twenty she married Joseph Fry who appears to have been of a much colder and more commonplace nature than his wife. The family was large. Amid all her public labours she never ceased to devote herself to their welfare; it was a great disapointment to her that some of them left The Society of Friends.
Soon after her marriage she was much exercised by the question whether or not she was called to the ministry among her people. Naturally she had an intense aversion to such a work, but on the death of her father, when she was twenty-nine, she was constrained to take part in the public service, and there-after experienced such 'incomings of love, joy, peace,'that she no longer doubted, and was accordingly soon after recognised as a Minister.
She spoke with marvelous effect. The pathos of her voice was almost miraculous, and melted alike the hardest criminals and the most impervious men of the world. Cool observers who had witnessed the effects of her appeals in Newgate Prison could hardly describe the scene without
Generation 10 (con't)
tears.
Her connection with prisons began practically in 1813. As a child of fifteen she had been deeply interested in the House of Correction at Norwich, and had prevailed on her father to allow her to visit it. At the instigation of some of her friends who had come to know of the state of things at Newgate, and particularly of William Forster [1784-1854], she now turned her attention to the condition of the female prisoners. The state of things was appalling. Nearly three hundred women, with their children, were huddled together in two wards and two cells; some of them convicted, some not yet tried, innocent and guilty, misdemeanants and fellons, all tumbled together; without employment, without nightclothes or bedclothes, sleeping on the bare floor, cooking and washing, eating and sleeping in the same apartment.
A tap in the prison gave them the opportunity of supplying themselves with drink. Even the Governor was afraid to trust himself in the place, and when the Quakers were about to visit he advised them to leave their watches behind. ' The Begging,' as she afterwards described the scene to a Committee of the House of Commons, 'swearing, gaming, fighting, singing, dancing, dressing up in mens clothes were too bad to be described, so that we did not think it suitable to admit young persons with us.'
At first she tried no more than to supply the most destitute with clothes. Then she established a school, which was very successfull. A matron was afterwards appointed. But the main cause of reformation was her personal influence and exertions. The reading of the scriptures was a leading part of her remedial measures, and her impressive tones and profound reverance made a deep impression. She was the heart and soul of an association formed in 1817 for the improvement of female prisoners in Newgate.
The effects of her labours were thus described by the American minister of the day: 'Two days ago I saw the greatest curiosity in London, aye and in England too, compared to which Westminster Abbey, The Tower, Somerset House, the British Museum, nay Parliament itself, sink into utter insignifiance. I have seen Elizabeth Fry in Newgate, and I have witnessed there the miraculous effect of true Christianity upon the most depraved of human beings. And yet the wretched outcasts have been tamed and subdued by the Christian eloquence of Mrs. Fry '
Her success attracted the attention of all classes, including Royalty. Transported criminals were sent in those days to New South Wales, and the voyage was performed without classification, employment, or superintendence. At New South Wales no arrangements were made for enabling them to earn an honest living. Mrs. Fry exerted herself greatly to induce the government to make proper regulations for the voyage, and to provide suitable home and proper employment for them on arriving.
She took a lively interest in the condition of other prisons besides Newgate. Sometimes combining her work as a Minister of the Quaker Communion with her prison labours, she would travel through the country, especially visiting places where there were prisons, ascertaining their condition, conferring with the local authorities, making suggestions to them, and forming ladies associations for more effectually carrying out the object.
Her visits, too, extended beyond the limits of the United Kingdom. In 1820 she corresponded with the Princess Mestchersky of Russia; the Dowager-Empresss became deeply interested, and her son Nicholas allowed her to convert a Royal Palace into a Palace prison. Mrs. Fry, however, did not desire to encourage such sentimental philanthropy. In France, Louis-Philippe and his Queen received her kindly; so did the King of Prussia and his family. At Kaiserswerth she had the most interesting time; Fliedner owned that her example had moved him greatly; while she was impressed, after visiting Kaiserwerth, with the impoortrance of having trained nurses to attend the sick, and instituted an order of 'nursing sisters,' whose aid has been sought and valued by persons of all classes.
Although prison reform was her chief work, she attended to other questions. She was much impressed by the miseries of homeless wanderers in London during the rigorous winter of 1819-1820, and especially by the death of a poor boy who was found frozen to death on a
Generation 10 (con't)
doorstep. A 'nightly shelter, for the homeless' was the result, soup and bread, as well as a bed, being given to those who applied.
The scheme prospered under a committee of ladies, of whom she was the head, and they did not limit their efforts merely to providing the night's lodging, but tried to find occupation for the unemployed. In like manner finding Brighton to be greatly infested with beggars, she instituted a district visiting society designed to relieve real distress, to prevent mendicity and impostute, and encourage industry.
Observing how the members of the blockade or preventative service were exposed to dreary idleness, she got them a supply of bibles and usefull books, and by-and by libraries were supplied to the preventative stations. A remark on the temptations of discharged prisoners led to the opening, by a lady who heard it, of The Royal Manor Hall Asylum.
In 1828 her husband became bankrupt, and he and his family sank from affluence to poverty. Much suffering was entailed on others, and Mrs. Fry could no longer help the needy as she had been accustomed to do. But she continued her duties as a Minister, in addition to all her philantropic work and her domestic duties. She was equally at home with all ranks; at one time we find her entertaining the King of Prussia at dinner, at another, drinking tea with a poor shoemaker who had been able to procure but one luxury for her entertainment- a little fresh butter.
She died at Ramsgate on 12th October 1845, and was buried in the Friend's burial- ground at Barking. Mrs. Fry was the author of; 1 'Observations on Female. Prisoners,'Lond. 1827. 2.

2000...15 November ...
A Book 'People & Places' [Phyllis Burholt in [ November 2000 [ has been reading thus ..]
Elizabeth Fry, n'ee Gurney
Quaker & Prison Reformer. The American Ambassador said " I have seen the two Greatest Sights in London, St Pauls Cathedral and Mrs Fry reading to the prisoners of Newgate".
Lord Byron wrote 'Oh, Mrs Fry, why go to Newgate, why? Preach to the poor rogues? And wherefore not begin with Carlton or with other houses your hand at hardened imperial sinto mend the peoples absurdity a jargon, a merely philantropic din unless you make theirs better I thought you had more religion Mrs Fry, Better -Fy!
She was born a Gurney at Earlham Hall. The Gurney's were 'wide' Quakers. The women did not wear the grey dress & bonnet nor the men the broad brimmed hat. Elizabeth, or Betsy Gurney, the fourth of twelve children, grew up in a hous of red cloaks, purple boots, ponies, hide and seek, in the cupboards, music, dancing to the " dear elatingfiddle, play acting, Republican sentiments and free thinking. To some degree, Betsy was the 'odd man out', a neurotic child, afraid of the dark even in her teens. Afraid of death and the sea- subjectto a reaccuring dream of drowning.
Her periods of depression were known to the family as 'valleys'. Of herself, She wrote in 1797 " I
Generation 10 (con't)
am a bubble, without beauty of mind, or person. I am now 17 and if some kind and great circumstance does not happen to me, I shall have my talents devoured by Moth and Rust"
The great and kind circumstances occurred in February 1798, when William Savery, a Quaker Tanner from Philadelphia, arrived in Norwich on a Religious visit. He found Goats Lane Meeting so unsympathetic that he ' expected to pass the meeting in silent suffering, but at last he was able to speak. After spending the day with him, Elizabeth returned home and wrote in her diary " today I have felt that there is a God".
Soon afterwards she dreamed again of the rushing sea, but she was in a safe place and it could not reach her.
No immediate and drastric change was made in her life. She went to London, called on Mrs. Siddons, went to the "Opera" Mrs. Twiss gave me some paint for the evening. I painted a little; I had my hair dressed and did look pretty for me. Soon afterwards she became a 'plain' friend, wearing a grey costume and talking to thee and thou but it was long before she found the work of her life.
She had married a London Merchant Joseph Fry and bore him eight children before she entered Newgate Prison for the first time in 1813. The commission was brought to her by another American Quaker, the French Émigré', Nobleman Stephen Grellet. On a religious impulse, he had gone to Newgate and was astonished beyond description at the mass of woe and misery which he saw. He begged Elizabeth Fry to do something for the women.
This account of what she found is given by a compannion. " The Railing was crowded with half-naked women struggling together for the front positions, with the most boisterous violence and begging with the utmost vociferation. I felt as if I was going into a den of wild beasts. I recollect quite shuddering when the door was closed upon us and we were locked in with such a herd of novel and desperate compannions."
But in 1817 Rev. C.B.Taylor had a different story to tell. " I was present when she read a portion of the word of God to the women. There they sat in respectful silence, every eye fixed upon the grave sweet countanance of the gentle lady who was about to address them- never till then and never since then have I heard anyone read as did Elizabeth Fry that chapter".
An enquirer asked her method " I never refer to their past. We have all sinned and come short".
Elizabeth Fry's aims in Prison Reform included separating men from women, classifying prisoners and giving them instruction and employment and with energy, she furthered this programme in France, Germany, Switzerland, Belguim, Holland and Denmark until her influence spread throughout the world.
One of the energetic sociological Saints of the 19th Century, she said before her death. "Since my Heart was touched at seventeen years old, I believe, I have never wakened from sleep, without my first waking thought being best how I could serve the Lord"

Quaker reformers grave lost to history
By Robin Young.
Elizabeth Fry, the Quaker prison reformer who is commemorated on the new £5 note, is buried in an unmarked grave in a grassy park in Barking, East London.
There is nothing at the site to draw attention to the fact that one of the 19th century's most influential women is buried there. A bronze plaque noting the location was stolen from its plinth years ago and has not been replaced.
What had been a Quaker burial ground was taken over by the Barking and Dagenham Council in 1979. The gravestone that had been erected in Mrs Fry's honour was removed to another Quaker Burial Ground at Wanstead, East London, but records at the Friends Meeting House indicate that her body was not moved.
Born to a banking family in Norwich in 1780, Mrs Fry first visited Newgate prison in 1813. From Christmas 1816, despite family difficulties [she bore 11 children], she started regular visits to Newgate and organised the Association for the Improvement of the Female Prisoners in Newgate.. In 1818 she became the first woman to be called to give evidence to a committee of the House of Commons.
An early champion of women's rights and strong opponent of the Death Penalty, she was so well known that she received support from Queen Victoria, and the King of Prussia visited her to learn about the work.
This did not save her from suffering humiliation when in 1828 her husband's bank crashed. Thanks to her brother, her husband's debts were repaid and Mrs Fry received an annual stipend that enabled her to continue her work.
There is a statue of Mrs Fry at the Old Bailey, and a bas relief at Wormwood Scrubs prison. There is also a bust in East Ham Town Hall and a plaque opposite Mansion House in the City of London, at the site of one of her homes.

Captain Cook's childhood home to be sold
By John Naish and Helen Stud
A NORTH YORKSHIRE estate that was once home to Captain Cook and the prison reformer Elizabeth Fry has been put up for sale now that the Fry family's bloodline has now come to an end. The 750-acre estate, which belonged to the Quaker family that became renowned for the manufacture of chocolate , is to be split into several smaller plots under the auctioneer's hammer next month.
The estate was bought by the Fry family at the turn of the 19th century as Elizabeth Fry was beginning her lifelong efforts to improve conditions for jailed women.
After her death, Sir Theodore Fry, Mayor of Darlington and a liberal MP in the late1800's, also lived on the estate.
The property has attracted strong interest from potential buyers, according to Richard Murray Wells, of Smith Gore estate agents. The sale is expected to take the form of sealed bids with a
Generation 10 (con't)
deadline for best and final offers set for the middle of July.
Part of the Roseberry estate which is situated on the edge of the North York Moors national Park, has been donated to the National Trust, but the remaining farm buildings are expected to fetch more than £1 million.
The real PRIZE IS CONSIDERED TO BE Aireyholme Farm, a farmhouse set in 282 acres. Cook lived there in a tied cottage until he was 16.
Cook was later credited with the discovery of the east coast of Australia. In his three epic voyages he discovered more of the Earth's surface than any other explorer of the 18th century and was equally acclaimed as a scientist, cartographer and surveyor.
The property, which includes outhouses, is expected to be sold separately from the rest of the estate, with an asking price of £290.000

Notes for Katharine Fry:
2003...26 August... I have just borrowed the Book "Katharine Fry's Book" edited by Jane Vansittart to pages, from the Tunbridge Wells library. On page 11 it says that Katharine began to write this book of reminiscences and intimate family history of both the Fry and the Gurney Families in 1872, when she was seventy-one, and she finished it four years later.
The Book is shown in this collection of records and letters which Katherine gathered into this huge book of over 600 pages.

DR. EDMUND FRY. Born 1754. Died 22nd December 1835 Second Son of Dr. Joseph Fry [1728-1787]
Type-Founder; Was born at Bristol in 1754. He studied medicine; took the degree of M.D. at Edinburgh, and spent some time at St. George's Hospital, London.
In 1782 his Father admitted his two sons, Edmund and Henry, as Partners in the Type-Foundry Business in Queen Street, London. The Father retired in 1787, when the new firm, Edmund Fry & Co, issued their first 'Specimen of Printing Types,' followed the next year by an enlarged edition. Fry cut several Founts of the original type, which fill twelve pages. In 1788 the printing business was separated from the foundry, and remained at Worship Street, as the ' Cicero Press,' under the management of Henry Fry.
The foundry was removed to a place opposite Bunhill Fields in Chiswell Street, and new works erected in a Street then called 'Type Street'. Homer's series of the classics [1789-1794], printed by Millar Ritchie were from the characters of the Type Street foundry. In 1793 'Edmund Fry & Co; letter founders to the Prince of Wales,' produced a 'Specimen of Metal-cast Ornaments curiously adjusted to paper,' which gained vogue among printers.
The next year Fry took Isaac Steel into partnership, and published a ' Specimen' which ' shows a marked advance on its predecessors' [T.B. Reed, Old English Letter Foundries, p.306]
In 1798 he circulated a 'Prospectus' of the great work on which he had been occupied for sixteen years, published as ' Pantographia, containing accurate Copies of all the known Alphabets of the
Generation 10 (con't)
World, together with an English explanation of the peculiar Force of Power of each Letter, to which are added Specimens of all well- authenticated Oral Languages, forming a Comprehensive Digest of Phonology,' 1799,
The volume contains eighteen varieties of the Chaldee and thirty-two of the Greek. Fry expressly cut many of the characters for his book. On the admission of George Knowles in 1799, the firm took the name of Fry, Steele, & Co. At the commencement of the present century the modern-faced type supplanted the old-faced. 'Specimens of modern cut printing typ-es from the foundry of Messrs. Fry & Steele' are given in
C. Stower's 'Printers Grammar,' 1808.
About this time Fry reassumed sole management of the business. In 1816 a 'Specimen of Printing Types by Edmund Fry, Letter Founder to the King and Prince Regent,' was published. The firm soon after became Edmund Fry & Son, on the admission of his son Windover. Fry cut several founts of Oriental types for the University of Cambridge, The British and Foreign Bible Society, and other bodies. In a 'Specimen' printed in 1824 the name is changed back to 'Edmund Fry' at ' the Polyglot Foundry.'
In 1828 he endevoured to dispose of the business, and issued a descriptive circular [see Reed, pp. 310-312]. It was purchased by William Thorowgood of Fann Street, and the stock removed in 1829. It has since been in the hands of Thorowgood & Besley, then R. Besley & Co., and now Sir Charles Reed & Sons.
In 1833 twenty designs for raised type for the blind were submitted to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts, who had offered a prize for the best example. Among them was one from Fry, to whom the Gold Medal was awarded a couple of years after his death [Transactions, 1837,], which took place at Dalby Terrace, City Road, London, at the age of eighty-one, on December 1835.
Fry was one of the most learned of the English typefounders, but retired with a very small competence. He was a member of the Company of Stationers. He was married twice: first to Jenny, daughter of Nicholas Windover, of Stockbridge, Hampshire, of whose issue one son only survived, Windover Fry [1797-1835]; secondly to Ann Hancock, by whom he had a son, Arthur [1809-1878].
A portrait of Fry, painted by Frede'rique Boileau, was shown at the Caxton Exhibition in 1877 [Catalogue, p.336]. A Silouette has been reproduced by Reed [letter Foundries, p.298] and Fry [Memoir, p.16].

2003...28 March...On a visit to the Frenchay Museum, Bristol today, Alan Freke told us that those who were buried at 'Quaker Friars in the centre of Bristol' were Reintered.
This was because that burial ground was turned into a car park and some building work done. He found out that the remains were Reintered in 1965 to the Avonview Cemetery, Blackworth Road, St. George, Bristol. He took us there and we took photos and a video of the New Headstone. Many of our Ancestors were buried at Quaker Friars over the years and this note is being applied to their files so that we know where any remains now rest.

4/9/1998...Wilts Archives supply copy of Baptism Record of Robert on 25 December 1771 at Broughton Gifford, Nr Melksham, Wilts, son of Joseph and Betty. Wilts say Robert Fry is the ONLY Robert Fry baptized there.
8/9/1998...Telephoned Revd.Hogarth, 8, Church St, Beckington, Bath, Somerset, BA3 6TG, Phone 01373-830314. Somerset Archives told me he is the keeper of the Registers of Lullington. He was very helpful, and arranged to take us to the church at Lullington.
11/9/1998...Revd. Alan Hogarth took us through Beckington, a small village of only a hundred or so residents and he told us that this used to be a very prosperous village in the 18th century involved in the "Production of Cloth", and pointed out some very grand houses of the period where the wealthy traders lived. This was interesting because Roberts Occupation [detailed on his son Thomas's Marriage Certificate] is 'Clothier'. Beckington was on the important 'Trade Road' of the time and lies 5 miles south of Trowbridge and 3 miles north of Frome. Half a mile north is the village of 'Rode' where son Thomas says he was born, and the 'Unnamed Child of Robert and Mary is buried as per the Rode Parish Register [1805-1812]. Lullington is about 3/4 mile SW of Beckington.
Lullington, Somerset...We arrive in this very tiny village and park outside All Saints Church, which is about 100 yards from the Square, the Centre of which stands the covered Water Pump. The entrance is through a covered gate and a pathway leads to the Centre of the church. The grounds are extremely well tended and on the left are a few graves covered with fresh flowers. These graves are less than 50 years old and are obviously looked after on a regular basis. The Fabric of the church is in very good order and the guttering and downpipes are dated 1872. We are led round the church past the doorway to the North Doorway. This is not used now and is the oldest part of the church which was built between 1070-1100. On entering, the first item seen is the large font which has a Latin inscription. [Further details of the Church, see leaflet.] Revd. Hogarth took us to the vestry and got the registers from the safe. Immediately we found more children of Robert & Mary of Lullington, in the Baptism Register, ie. Henry, Henry Pearce and Isaac that we did not know of. We see the Burial Register and find Henry and Samual. There is no more mention of Robert & Mary's family after 1818 in any register up to 1850.
Other 'Fry' entries are: Baptism's..1816..June 22..Page 3 entry no 23...Ann, Daughter of George & Eleanor Fry of Lullington. [we have opened a separate Family file for them]
1826...July 30 entry no 79...Samual James, son of William & Sarah Fry of Lullington, Fathers Profession is ' Manufacturary' & 1831...November 28, entry no 97, William Henry, son of William & Sarah Fry of Lullington, profession ' Labourer'. [we have opened a separate Family file for them]

Mr Peter Weeks, the Squire of the village from the farm next to the church gave us a potted history of Lullington and said he has the only farm around that still employs 'Estate Workers Village was bought in 1810-1820 by a Mr Cox , a Banker and Lord Bath was a Patron for 2-300 years. The Last patron was a 'Duckworth' who died about 10 years ago. The inside of the church is full of plaques commemorating various 'Duckworths' from the 1800's. William Duckworth restored the Church in 1862. We were shown the very Rare Silver Chalice made in 1562.
We were told there was a big fire in the village when most houses were burned down and destroyed probably because all the roofs were thatched. Only some belongings were saved. There was no water in the village and it was a small distance to the Cloth Mill nearest the river for the water. This Mill and another nearby , together with the farms provided the local employment. Where the main Wool Mill stood next to the river now is a huge Dairy Factory and employs people from miles around. A History of Lullington and Orchard Lees is being written by a Michael Mc Garvie, 19 Styles Hill, Frome, Somerset, and hopes it will be produced in the next year or so.
11/9/1998...We visited the Church at Broughton Gifford, Nr. Melksham. This is a very imposing building on a hill in the lower end of the village . It was locked. The Churchyard was very well kept and there are dozens of old gravestones non of which could we find a 'Fry'. The churchyard is in two halves, separated by the road which despite being a country lane, is extremely busy. The detached part of the yard is all 'Modern Graves' and still in use. A Plack inside the porchway commemorates the 1914/18 war and a 'Fry ' of the 14th Hussars amongst those of the village who died. We had very limited time here and took several photo's. The Church warden is Mr. David Chandler, Jasmine Cottage, Broughton Gifford. Phone 782241: The Revd. Ron Hart, The Rectory, Holt, Phone 782289.

25/11/1998...reply from Michael McGarvie....Wonderful Information !! He writes thus..." "I've come across the Fry's certainly. I expect you know that Robert Fry went Bankrupt in 1809. I believe there was a notice in the Salisbury & Winchester Journal. I think the Original Fry's came from Bristol, not then having the Mill but a property called 'James's Batch', later merely The Batch. Robert Fry & Thomas Jones, of Bristol, Wool-Staplers, Clothiers & Woollen Drapers, took the premises in 1779, a close of meadow lately converted into an Orchard with a tenement thereon erected" .
... "In 1783, Fry & Jones assigned the premises to Zephania Fry, of Bristol, Clothier. Fry conveyed to William Pryor in 1785" ..
... "In 1808, Francis Pryor, Spinster of Lullington conveyed James's Batch to Robert Fry of Road, Somerset, Spinner Frytook out a Mortgage of £800 with a Frome Banker John Douglas Middleton [a descendant lives in Road]. The premises now included a factory and workshop, lately erected" "Fry. also appears to have become Undertenant to a Mr Grant at Lullington Mill and no doubt overstretched himself ..Fryappears in the Mortgages until 1814. When he went bankrupt, the workshops at James's Batch were unfinished and his machinery was offered for sale together with the unexpired lease of the Mill".
He sends 1818 map of Lullington which shows 'James's Batch' [97a] and this appears to be next door to the 'Mill House Garden' Jackie & I were shown by Alan Hogarth. He also sent the 'For Auction' poster for Lullington Mill in 1855.

24/2/1999...Sam Coombs replies with photo of page 183 of a book by Kenneth Rogers "Wiltshire & Somerset Woolen Mills, published by Pasold Research Fund 1976 ref ISBN 0 903859 068 [about £8.50]
It says " Lullington Mill. This Mill was among those to which inspectors of medley broad cloth were appointed in 1727. No more is known of it till 1803, when it was the property of John Renison, a Bradford Clothier, and R.E. Willmot and was offered to let. It was described as a factory with two floors 59ft x 20 ft, with two fulling stocks and capable of driving eight or twelve engines , and had been built four years previously."
"The new lessee was James Grant, fuller, at a rent of £130. Grant must have underlet to a clothier named ROBERT FRY, who was bankrupt in1809. His machinery was offered for sale with the un-expired lease of the mill with workshops over and a small factory adjoining. He also owned a house in the village of Lullington in the garden of which he had erected a building intended for factory, but then unfinished."
"Grant appears to have occupied the mill for some years; later occupiers included John Cuzner c1820, James Stancomb and John Morgan who insured the water - driven scribbling mill in 1825, Richard Scammell c.1830, and James Moore, 1844. In 1838 it was driven by wheels of 10 h.p and 7h.p and employed thirty hands. But it was only called a fulling mill in the Occupation of Thomas Marks, when in 1835 an undivided share in it amounting to three-fourths, half of the remaining fourth, and one third of one eighth of ther same remaining fourth, was offered for sale. Readers will readily see that the amount 85/96 of the whole. Later in the nineteenth century it was a sawmill. The mill has been reduced to a single-storey building, of five bays with a two-bay later extension, perhaps the small factory of c. 1799. It is of stone rubble with stone windows of standard design. The wheel of breast shot. There are no remains of the building in Lullington, which stood a short distance south of the church. "

20 July 1999...Note to confirm this is the latest programme 24 Aug 1999...Trying to fill Gap to Richard Fry of Bristol
1999...7 September...We visit Taunton Record Office. Jackie finds No Fry Birth or Marriages or Burials at Rode . Nor can I. We check from about 1813 to 1854. Records Office suggest that All Fry's were Quakers and as such are on the Quakers list held at 'Trowbridge'[Wilts Area].[TD List].
We also look at the files of 'Orchardleigh' which were given to the Records Office by the 'Duckworth Family' who used to own the village up to about 1958.
Under 'DD/DU 33 we found 3 interesting Manuscripts from 1677 Under DD/DU 47 we found a map
Under DD/DU 48 we found 22 Documents for Lullington including Original Purchase Documents signed by the Fry's for James's Batch or Batches House. MORE...
1999...28 September...I had written to Peter Weeks who owns 'Mill Cottage' at Lullington. He phoned back to tell us the story we have of James's Batch is not quite right. Arrange to go to see him. His phone no. is 01373-830260
1999...December...Wrote to Swindon Records to see if Robert & Mary are on Friends- Glouc &
Wilts Marriage List.
Answer No. Try... Wilts Nimrod Index.

Generation 11 (con't)
popping out as its very difficult to read on the viewers so gave up.
2000...7 January...We realise that we ALREADY have Seperate files for MARY FRY and GEORGE FRY as we had found both them Married at Lullington. Both Brother & Sister married a Brother & Sister. WE will now INCORPORATE BOTH files into the Family of Robert Fry of Lullington. Robert & Mary now have 13 Children.
Address of the Rector: The Revd. Cannon W. A. Matthews MA, Holy Trinity Vicarage, 18a, Wooley Street, Bradford on Avon, Wilts...Phone 01-225-864444
2000...14 February...Family Tree Programme re-named...E.Family Tree 2.FBK.FBK. The Tree now contains 398 names.
2000...March...The Tree now contains 406 names.
2000...16 March...John, Jackie & I visit Peter Weeks at Lullington and he takes us to see ' James's Batch' which is now 2 Cottages called 'Batch Cottages'. The House, which has since been divided into two cottages is very large and the garden drops steeply down to the river and flood plain area. There was no sign of the workshops but over the years the stone and rubble used to build same would have been used for something else. Peter Weeks also showed us his saw mill building belonging to Mill House which he owns. He said we should ask at Longleate about previous buildings and layouts as they may well have details in their Archives. He had also spoken to Michael Mc Garvie who also advised same.
2000...17 March...At Trowbridge Records Centre we can find no enties of further children on the 'Rode' Fishe , Referance M 2393/1. This was barely readable. However we should look at it again as we were pushed for time.
2000...17 March...NOTE: At Trowbridge I have transcribed all the FRY's from the Quakers Digest of Birth's , Deaths & Marriages for Wiltshire between 1663 and 1791.

This place is 25 miles NE of Lullington, Nr Frome, as the crow flies on the A361 and near Swindon and 5 miles west of Marlborough. If this is so, then Henry and Ann Dyer were probably born about 1745- 1750.
