Researching Bury families in and around Worcester including Stourbridge and Kidderminster. Edward, John & Frances (1823-1831) in particular are proving elusive! :)

Hi,
1841 Census, if any help:-
Edward Bury abt 1791 Worcestershire, England
Frances Bury Abt 1799 Worcestershire, England
Sarah Bury abt 1825 Worcestershire, England
Edward Bury abt 1827 Worcestershire, England
Francis Bury abt 1828 Worcestershire, England

If this is right, will look up others for you.

Thank you Cheryl
Yes! This is the family I am looking at! I do have some of them in the earlier census but have been unable to tidy them up and finish them off! I'd like to find the marriage and burial refs for them, and of course, extensions to the family
Thank you for your interest

Had a look on freeBMD.
Edward Bury died Dec 1861 in Tenbury - doesn't state age.
Sarah Bury died Jun 1864 in Tenbury - no age.
Could not find Frances Bury - maybe under maiden name?
BRITTEN Frances Fanny 79 Mar 1872 in Tenbury
WHEELER Frances 84 Jun 1874 in Tenbury
HOLLAND Frances 87 Dec 1883 in Tenbury

Hi all,
I'm new to this family tree business. It seems quite addictive, I'm almost hooked already. Do any of your Bury trees link with:
My gran, Vera Bury, born Malvern 1889.
Her sister, Evelyn Bury, born Malvern 1897.
I'm particularly interested in establishing the name of Vera Bury's husband (her married surname was East) and discovering his fate as he disappeared without trace from the East family records in the 1930's.
Thanks.

Hello John
Thanks for the contact
Doesn't look as though we connect at the moment - the Bury families were quite extensive and it sometimes takes a lot of sifting and sorting to find the matches.
Have you traced your Bury families through the various censii? If you are able to supply a bit more information I may be able to connect your lot in to some of the Bury Wills that I am slowly decoding!! I thought it could be another way of connecting up the families and slot my lot in! I also have some information in my data base that may be of help
Your Gr Aunt married Frank East 4Q 1910 in Upton, Worcester. Her two sons births are on the free bmd site, as is her marriage. Gt Aunt Vera's father appears to be Edward Bury born Stoke Lacey c 1844 as per the 1891 census etc. I am rather interested in him as the Edwards appear frequently in my tree. Let's keep in touch!
Regards

Amaris,
Thanks for the reply. Vera Bury had three sons, not two. John (known as Jack) born in 1911, Dennis born around 1914 were my uncles, and William (My father) was born in 1913.
The family experienced a tragedy in 1915 when the father (my grandfather) Frank East died. William was despatched up to relatives in Lancashire to be raised because Vera Bury suffered some sort of breakdown at the time and couldn't cope.
I assume the Lancashire family were relatives of Vera. Do you have a Lancashire "Bury" link on your tree?

Hello again, John
Have you covered much research into your Bury family. I spent some time yesterday having a poke around and can email some results if you care to email me at (*)
I really just need to know whether you have researched Edward Bury of Stoke Lacey and his two wives and families etc so I don't spend time on looking for what you may already have!
I was suprised to see family connections of yours registered in Martley as that is where some of my Bury's hail from - have to look for a possible connection and so as much as you feel you can share with me will be valuable.
Regards

Thaks again Amaris. Give me a couple of days to do some spade work and then I'll get back to you with what I've uncovered.
I'm afraid, being an East (and maybe a male chauvinist pig) I've concentrated on the East line. It's time I did more digging on the Bury side, particularly as I'm well aware that the female line is just as genetically significant as the male.
When I started this search about 3 weeks ago my sole objective was to uncover the circumstances of Vera Bury's husband Frank East's death following a request from my nephew. The whole thing has rather snowballed, and I've managed to trace the full line of East's going back to the year 1500 which is much more than I ever expected.
I'll have a good shot at the Bury's now.

Hello Amaris,
Been a while since I was posting here---you may have seen my posts regarding a John Bury, b abt 1789. Over Areley Worc. I've just been refreshing--saw your post regarding Martley connection.
My John Bury had a son William--b 1817 Knighton on Teme. Mother was Ann, formerly Price.
William married Hannah Lane--born 1805. William and Hannah both died 1884 at Martley--any connection to your interests?
Can let you have a copy of my Bury/Berry lot if you would like.
regards Robert---would need your email--- (*)

Hi amaris
I cant make any promises as I have a very big look up to do but as Im going to spend several weeks 12 miles outside Worcester over Christmas & hope to get into the HIVE (record office) about 6 times during my stay - if I can find the time I'll se what I can find for the BURY family at Tenbury.
All the very best

Hi Phil, I think you might be referring to my Bury family at Tenbury. I can send you a Tree copy if you wish--my email in above post

Hi Robert
I made time to have a look at the Tenbury Wells parish registers for you but had to give up on the film that Edward BURYs baptism should have been on as its hard to read & there appears to be what looks like a fair bit of water damage on it - however I did make a few other finds that may help you.
Firstly I looked at the Marriage index books in the HIVE at Worcester & found this entry Worcester St John by LIC 15APR1822
Edward BURY of Stanford WOR = Frances Lightband POWELL
so I looked at the parish registers for St John Worcester & was able to find the full entry
Page 61 No 182 15APR1822 by LIC
Edward BURY (B) of Stanford in the county of Worcester(SHIRE) = Frances Lightband POWELL (S) OTP
Wits - Joseph POWELL & Susanna Harris.
I forgot to say that I could find no entries for the children at Tenbury Wells.
I went on to see what I could find in the registers for Stanford on Teme & found the following that may help you at some stage.
18MAY1777 Edward BURY BUR'd
27JUN1791 Benjamin BURY BAP'd
12SEP1793 Joseph BURY BUR'd
8MAR1799 Sarah d/o Edward & Sarah BURY BAP'd
22MAY1795 Mary BURY Widow BUR'd
12APR1794 Thomas BURY BUR'd
I was not very happy with these records as only one of them gives you any idea of who the parents were & I could find no BAP for Edward even though I looked 3 times for him on this film so I hope that you have enough info to show who the parents should be as this could contain his siblings & parents but Id not swear to it without more info.
Sorry that's the best that I could do for you
All the very best
Phil

John East---I cannot believe your claim to have got back to 1500 with your "East" family. That would take a tremendous slice of good fortune---plus--going so far back could really only be achieved if a family was of high rank / standing---Royalty almost. Church records began in England 1538---- Records for important families / Royalty were a matter for those families and their own family archives.
Can you Cite ALL sources for your claim? I seriously doubt it.

Hi Amaris
Some time ago I decided to have a look for the Bury line when I was next in the county of my birth
I was at the HIVE (where the parish registers for WOR are deposited) yesterday & had a good look at 3 of the films of the registers for Tenbury Wells but could find no sign of any of your Bury line on it even though I searched well before - well after any date you gave so can only gather that the baptisms may have taken place in one of the contiguous parishes to Tenbury.
Sorry not to have found anything as I hate letting people down but I don't have the time to search all the parishes joining Tenbury or in the case of the 2 burials the whole district
All the very best
Phil
