Fry in Nova Scotia
I am researching William FRY born abt 1810 or abt 1820. I am trying to determine his birthplace and parents.
William married (1) Rachel MCNAYR in Springfield, Annapolis County, Nova Scotia in abt 1840. After his wife Rachel died in 1851, he moved to Horton, Kings County, Nova Scotia. He settled next to Rufus Frye in Kings County and they may have been brothers or cousins.
William married (2) Jemima TUFTS. William is listed in the 1861, 1871, and 1881 Censuses of Kings County:

Note: William's age in 1881 census is different than in 1871 census.
Does anyone know anything more about this family? Any small clue would be helpful.
