On the 1881 Census, Joesph Fry, born 1812. I cannot read what it says for where born. I also cannot find his parents because he changes his mind on where he is from, one census its sancreed, another it is guernsey and this one looks like it begins with a W, but anyway can anyone make that place of birth out please?
