Hi, Kattie --

In case you are not aware of it yet, Rev. Bury's daughter Elisabeth, as a child, corresponded with Lewis Carroll (of Alice in Wonderland fame).  Apparently, his sister, Rosamond Bury Warner, took Elisabeth and probably one Elisabeth's sisters, to meet Carroll (presumably in Oxford) on December 2, 1892.  On February 15, 1896, Carroll visited the Warners and saw Elisabeth again.  On the following March 8, he wrote a letter to Elisabeth, which is reprinted in volume 2 of The Letters of Lewis Carroll, edited by Morton Cohen.  The editors' footnote explains all of this, and more.  None of it is directly responsive to you inquiries about Edward's whereabouts, but some of the pictures maybe were been taken in Oxford.  I don't know how long the Warners lived there, but I gather that Rosamond died in Oxford in 1920.  I should mention that I have never been on this chat board before, and maybe never will be again.  So if you want to get back in touch about this, it's best to email me directly: *

Edward Alexander Bury was the first vicar of St. Marks Church New Ferry from 1886 to 1896. In May of this year the church will be celebrating it's 150th. anniversary. We would love to contact any descendants of Edward in order to invite them to any of our celebrations if they live within travel distance.
Please reply with any info you may have.
