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.

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.

born versus née

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.--Erp 00:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What Erp said. Just check a dictionary or the wedding announcements in the newspaper. Logophile 12:54, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Saints banner and category

Based on this individual being included in the Calendar of saints (Anglican Church of Australia), I am adding the Category:Anglican saints and the Saints WikiProject banner to this article. I am awaiting reliable sources which can be used to add the content to the article. John Carter 15:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph John Gurney

An unregistered user changed the link to J J Gurney from Joseph John Gurney to Joseph Gurney. This is incorrect. JJ was Elizabeth Fry's brother. Vernon White ^{. . . Talk} 20:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fry Bank

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 that was one facing difficulties at that time? Ronty Brown ^{. . . Talk} 12:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
