Removed sections during edits
During my edit recently, I removed the following block of text. They are included here incase someone wants to replace it. wada bout yee was her favrouite saying!!
From Fry's prison work:
Two women, Charlotte Newman and Mary Ann James, were sentenced to death for forgery in 1818. Fry tried unsuccessfully to get a reprieve for them. A month later she and Gurney visited the Home Secretary,
Lord Sidmouth, to plead the case of a prisoner named Harriet Skelton. Apparently, Skelton had been pressured by her husband into passing forged bank notes. Lord Sidmouth was unsympathetic.
Just wondering why it says nee instead of born?
this is an english page and not a french page after all..........
née is perfectly acceptable English (which a quite omnivorous as far as other languages) and refers to the specific case of a woman's family name changing due to marriage and only needs to mention the original family name. 'Born' would require a full name and would include name changes for reasons other than marriage. That at least is my take.--

What Erp said. Just check a dictionary or the wedding announcements in the newspaper.

The 1st paragraph under the section Fry's prison work says the Elizabeth Fry could not help out the prisoners for 4 years due to problems in the family and "Fry bank". Is this the correct bank name, would it not have been the Gurney bank?

The Quakers in Shoreditch website] says "3.12.1828 Bailiffs occupied the Fry family home as Joseph Fry's bank had closed its doors unable to pay a rush of customers wanting to withdraw money. He was made bankrupt and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) formally disowned him in the spring of 1829. Elizabeth remained an active Quaker and in 1836/1837 Joseph Fry was reinstated in membership." So Joseph Fry's bank was not the Norwich-based
Gurney's bank, which merged with Barclays in 1896, nor
Overend and Gurney, which spectacularly crashed in 1866.

"On the former British Television series Top of the pops [sic] there is a statue of Elizabeth Fry in the lobby of the Old Bailey set"
I've never seen TOTP, so I can't say for sure, but it doesn't seem like the kind of show with an "Old Bailey set". I just noticed a statue of Elizabeth Fry in a lobby set of TOB on an Episdoe of "Rumpole of the Bailey" however...
I believe that Elizabeth Fry was at some point featured on the Five Pound bank note. It would be great to add that bit (and hopefully some images) to this article. Thanks.
