Hi Janet,
Thanks for the reply, the only connection I see now is by marriage. [
Frith/Stephens]
I am looking for more FRITH info., if you have anything more, than I
have which isn't
much.

Thanks for the info.,

Pauline

I have some family members, I have just found out were in the silent movies
& one Thomas Preston Frith b.10 Sept 1882 in WYO also a brother
Victor Frith [aka Vic Frith] & half brother a Leonard L. Woods who
changed his name to Jack Wood[s] in the movies with Tom Mix. I also
have 2 women of the line who were seamtress for the costome designers,
I think one might have been for Fox Studios.

4 iii. Laura Alice FRITH, born 28 Mar 1885 in Nevada, Veron
Co., Missouri; died 09 Dec 1911 in Frederick, Rice Co., Kansas. She
married Charles McClelland ROBY 24 Nov 1902 in Wilber, Canon City, CO.;
born 05 Oct 1877 in Belton, Cass County, Missouri; died 23 Oct 1926 in
Lyons, Rice Co., Kansas.

Marriage Notes for Laura FRITH and Charles ROBY:
According to the marriage record Charles was 25 when he married so that
would make him born c 1877 and Alice was 17 so she would have been born
c. 1885. I will check the 1900 census soon. Since they didn't marry
until 1902 there is a chance they were still living with their parents.

5 iv. Victor L. FRITH, born Jul 1888 in Colorado.
