[edit] General comments

This page is also linked to from Chocolate. Is this the same Joseph Fry who invented Fry's Cocoa? (Somehow I doubt it.) - Montréalais

Elizabeth Fry and the inventor of the chocolate bar were not related (although both were Frys and both were Quakers). Elizabeth's husband came from London. -- Derek Ross | Talk 08:14, 2004 Dec 12 (UTC)
In relation to typefounding, the following reference to a typeface known today as Fry's Ornamented might be of interest. http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/artypes/frys-ornamented/familytree.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.211.254 (talk) 18:24, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other Quaker Frys

Lewis Fry Richardson's Quaker mother, Catherine (1838–1919) was a daughter of Robert and Jane Fry of Wellington, Somerset.(According to ODNB. Does this family link? ==Vernon White (talk) 20:38, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

LF Richardson appears to have been born of two Quaker parents and to have died a Quaker, according to ODNB - "His cremation at Maryhill, Glasgow, on 5 October was followed the same day by a memorial service of the Society of Friends in Glasgow." ===Vernon White (talk) 20:46, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Well the Frys were prolific and Somerset is fairly close to Bristol so it is possible and maybe even slightly probable. I was double checking on Christopher Fry and according to the Telegraph obit, he was not related to the Bristol Frys though he thought or had thought he was.--Erp 21:00, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
