Fry Family Genealogy Wiki
29 May 2007 - 5:49:01am

Today I've launched the beta version of the Fry Family Genealogy Wiki. The Wiki is the first part of a new portal system I'm currently developing codenamed Project FryGen.

Project FryGen was conceived from weaknesses I've experienced whilst carrying out my own family history research. Many one-name family history resources suffer because they are often fragmented, do not benefit from modern software solutions and don't have the backing of expert web developers and web servers. In a lot of cases they are expanded personal projects containing an amazing amount of valuable data which is difficult to navigate and search and therefore of reduced value than otherwise would be the case if the same data was available through a better interface.

The Fry Family Genealogy Wiki is a central collaborative database of information provided and edited by researchers who are also involved in Fry family research; people just like you and me.

This wiki is very flexible and allows information on just about any relevant subject to be entered and categorised in minutes. That information becomes immediately searchable by other researchers both through this wiki and through most major search engines such as Google.

The wiki will remain in beta for the next 60 days while I tweak the settings and address any support issues.

I'd therefore like to invite anybody who is carrying out Fry research to join me on the wiki and help build an invaluable family history research resource for the benefit of all.

Poorhouses at Meaux, East Yorkshire
29 May 2007 - 5:44:39am

Parallel to my family history research I've recently started a personal research project into the poorhouses in the hamlet of Meaux in the East Riding of Yorkshire. This project started after visiting friends who live in the hamlet and going through some old maps of the area.

The 1851 Ordnance Survey map of Meaux shows some poorhouses adjacent to a Methodist Chapel Bethel along the main Meaux Lane close to Meaux Bridge. Viewing the 1898 Ordnance Survey map of the same area shows the chapel and original poorhouses gone and the poorhouses apparently rebuilt a little further south down the lane. These new poorhouses are still in existence today, now an occupied residential property with an original dating plague high on the gable end showing 1866 as the build date.

Information about the Meaux poorhouses and Methodist Chapel Bethel is very limited so I'm appealing for any information researchers may have accumulated during their own family history research which references either the chapel or poorhouses.

I'm especially looking for snippets of census returns listing any inmates or residents of the poorhouses, any information on births, deaths or marriages carried out at the chapel, scans of any old photos of these buildings or any information which board members may have accumulated during their own research.

Meaux is a very small hamlet with few residents so records are limited. Any information, however insignificant would be greatly appreciated by both myself and my friends who live there.

If you can help in any way please contact Jonathan Fry.

Grave search
13 March 2005 - 10:13:28pm

We went to the Holy Trinity Burial Ground on Castle Street, Hull this afternoon to locate grave number 6655 where we believe Cornelia Jane Syms / Noel is buried. It appears that the last burials there were in the middle 1800's so the search goes on.

We will be looking at the Spring Bank cemetery next weekend then on to Chanterlands Avenue.
