FRISBY GENEALOGY

Here's what I have to date on the FRISBY name and the GREWCOCK connection. My great-grandfather was a HENRY FRISBY of Red Hall, Barwell, Leicestershire. He was born in 1838 and died Nov. 16,1880. A window in St Mary's Church in Barwell is dedicated to him. He is listed in White's History, Gazetteer and Directory of the Counties of Leicester as "farmer and maltster." He married Mary-Ann GREWCOCK(b.1837) on October 13, 1866. For more GREWCOCK history, click here. Mary Ann died February 12th 1904 at the age of 66.

Together Henry and Mary Ann produced four children:

He married Mary Elizabeth ELLISON in 1908. They had three children:

The U.K. Marriage Witness Index lists: From an e-mail correspondent, I also have the following: I've also unearthed (not literally!)

And, finally, the village of Frisby-on-the-Wreake has a good pub and there is, I'm told, good angling in the river. So...happy fishing!

P.S. I've just received a wealth of information from a very generous contact on the descendants of SAMUEL FRISBY b.March 25,1747 in Harringworth, Northants. So, if anybody needs input on this branch, e-mail me at frisby@securenet.net.
