Shared note

Richard is with his parents in the 1841 and 1851 census returns, however I can't find him in the 1861 census, nor can I find a marriage or burial for him. Did he emigrate as a miner?

After a Google search I found a genealogy website (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/f/r/y/Steven-Micheal-Fry/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0590.html) which records this very Richard as marrying Rebecca Himphill in Brown, Illinois, USA. This area is known for coal mining. It appears the website author is a direct descendant so have assumed all info on descendants to be correct.

The above website records one child to Richard and Rebecca: Margrett Eddy, b. 12 Feb 1866, of, Brown, IL, d. 12 Mar 1904, pike co IL. Margaret married DAVID A SMYERS about 1886, Brown, IL, and is recorded as having one child: PEARL SMYERS, b. 25 Aug 1888, COPERSTOWN, BROWN, ILL, d. 12 Nov 1963, RIPTON, CA. Pearl married JOHN JOSEPH FRY on 20 Oct 1908, ,CASS, ILL., and is recorded as having 2 children: OLIVE FRY, b. September 27, 1909, ,CASS, ILL. and DAVED FREDRICK FRY, b. 20 Aug 1912, BEARDSTOWN, CASS, ILL, d. 31 Jul 1986, RIPTON, SAN JOAQUIN, CA. Daved married EDNA A FAIR on 03 Jun 1932, JERSEYVILL, JERSSY, ILL, and is recorded as having one child: NORMAN WELDON FRY, b. 18 Apr 1937, ST LOUIS, ST LOUIS, MO. Norman married IRIS HENRITTA MCGHEE on 17 Mar 1957, ST LOUIS, ST LOUIS, MO., and is recorded as having one child: Steven Micheal FRY, b. 28 Dec 1961, St Louis Mo. I believe Steven Micheal FRY is the author of the website.
