My twin daughters are also descendants of Elizabeth Fry. Their grandmother Nancy Green(Beagley, I think) was a direct descendant. I saw a programme on the tv the other night, about bankers and Elizabeth was on it, so I decided to look her up and find out more about her

It does feel good to have an ancestral connection as you put it and makes me feel more aware of the ancestors that I don’t know anything about but which are there nonetheless. Yes, I guess it is harder to find out more if you are in Australia. My obstacle is time. All my family tree tracing has had to be put on hold because life is too busy. One day in 20 years, maybe…. Thanks for getting in touch.

I have been told by my mother since I was little that I too am a direct descendant of Elizabeth Fry through her Mother’s side, Not sure how many “Greats” but probably about the same as you. I have no idea of my family tree other than this and being in Australia it is probably a bit too difficult to sort out. However, when visiting the UK I travelled to see the Quaker museum and tapestry to find out more about her. It gave me very much a sense of ancestral “connection” and although as with you I know I am, who I am, because of my own experiences and values, it is kind of nice to know that some of those values started generations before me.

Thanks Maggy. All of this was written very soon after the discovery. It will be interesting to see if it makes any difference to my sense of identity in the long term.
