Many thanks Caz. I look forward to receiving the results of your research. John was my Grandmother, Emily Hardige's father. Her sister Lily married Oliver White - I'm sure you know this.

Richard FRY

The Weston Worthies are a series of about 40 portraits in the Weston Museum (not always on show) which were painted in the mid 1800s of men and women who were important in Weston at that time. 

Richard FRY As far as I know Richard FRY was worn in Bisley, Gloucestershire in about 1870 and married Elizabeth MAIDEN in Bristol in 1804.

They moved to Weston and he financed the building of the first Hotel in Weston and the rebuilding of the Parish Church in 1824.  Some features from the old church can still be seen in Weston as part of a house in Victoria Cottage, 7, South Terrace which was build by his son-in-law, Joseph James, in about 1838.  Both Richard and his wife died in Myrtle Cottage in the 1850s and were buried in the church yard of St John the Baptist Church, Weston-super-Mare - see our transcriptions for details.

Queen Alexandra's Memorial Hospital

An interesting point - The Duke and Duchess of York were to stay with the Duke of Beaufort's family before coming to WSM but the Beauforts were ill and consequently they stayed with the Gibbs family at Tyntesfield. The Gibbs' were known to the royal family. Not helpful genealogically perhaps but fills out the story!!
