PERRY: Irish one name studies
« on: Thursday 05 March 09 11:25 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

I just wondered if anyone else is doing an Irish one-name study? I’ve been gathering all instances my own surname (Perry) in Ireland. It’s not originally an Irish surname (it has English, French and Welsh origins), so in theory, anyone found in the record should descend from a settler ancestor.

So far I’ve used the birth, marriage and death indexes, census, wills index and records from the registry of deeds and I’m slowly building up a collection of records and building up family trees. Is anyone else doing this in Ireland and if you what records have you used? I’ve not registered the name as a one-name study (although I’m a member of the Guild) as I don’t really fancy researching the English families of the name.

Am researching Perry families only from Aghadowey Parish Co. Londonderry (Scalty, Mullahinch, etc.) with branches in Garvagh Errigal Parish, Ballymoney Co. Antrim & Co.Galway. Many of the family quite famous (engineers, poets, photographers, etc. )

Hi

I'm not quite on a one name study for Perrys in Ireland, but I have ground to halt in trying to find out anything more about William Perry (and his ancestors), maybe born or bred in County Londonderry and one time stationmaster at Larne, County Antrim possibly in the 1860s.  He married Elizabeth Crooks (1843 - 1927) and had at least five children.  That's all I know.

I'll post anything I uncover, but there are a lot of Perrys out there and I can't even get a start that I can hang a firm citation on to get things moving.

All help welcome
Chris
