[edit] Removed sections during edits
During my edit recently, I removed the following block of text. They are included here incase someone wants to replace it.
From Fry's prison work:
- Two women, Charlotte Newman and Mary Ann James, were sentenced to death for forgery in 1818. Fry tried unsuccessfully to get a reprieve for them. A month later she and Gurney visited the Home Secretary, Lord Sidmouth, to plead the case of a prisoner named Harriet Skelton. Apparently, Skelton had been pressured by her husband into passing forged bank notes. Lord Sidmouth was unsympathetic.

[edit] born versus née
Just wondering why it says nee instead of born? this is an english page and not a french page after all..........
- née is perfectly acceptable English (which a quite omnivorous as far as other languages) and refers to the specific case of a woman's family name changing due to marriage and only needs to mention the original family name. 'Born' would require a full name and would include name changes for reasons other than marriage. That at least is my take.--Erp 00:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

- What Erp said. Just check a dictionary or the wedding announcements in the newspaper. Logophile 12:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Saints banner and category
Based on this individual being included in the Calendar of saints (Anglican Church of Australia), I am adding the Category:Anglican saints and the Saints WikiProject banner to this article. I am awaiting reliable sources which can be used to add the content to the article. John Carter 15:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph John Gurney
An unregistered user changed the link to J J Gurney from Joseph John Gurney to Joseph Gurney. This is incorrect. JJ was Elizabeth Fry's brother. Vernon White . . . Talk 20:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
