Margaret -
I agree, it says "widow" in the marriage to Francis Dicks.
FS's version gives her name as Hester, and his surname as Dix:
Francis Dix
mentioned in the record of Francis Dix and Hester Bird
Name Francis Dix
Spouse's Name Hester Bird
Event Date 29 May 1824
Event Place Leonard Stanley,Gloucester,England
(Leonard Stanley is about 30 miles away from Bristol - maybe too far ?? )
The marriage to James Fry has already been ruled out..

Thank you so much Abby, this looks really promising . I will try to follow
it up. I am not aware of any link with Tetbury but I remember my grandmother
saying there was a connection with the surname Fry. If this is Esther she would
have been about 48/9 in 1834. from Antonia

My 4x grt grandmother Esther Harding married Samuel Bird in Temple
church bristol 1812. My 3x grt grandfather William Bird born 1813 . Mary Ann
born 1814. Samuel died 1817 buried St George. I cannot find any record of Esther Bird after
1814. I have searched death records, and for possible re marriage with no
success. I welcome any help or advice in finding Esther.
