John Sherwood of Bury

[redbirdie]

Where is Bury?
I have a copy of a will of John Sherwood of Bury co York clothier 1793
"I give to Mr William Hutchinson and Mr John Moss of Ingleby and brothers Eleazor Sherwood and Samuel Sherwood of Ingleby co York executors of this my last will all my share in trade with William Bentley of Bury"
His mothers maiden name was Bury but I think that is a red herring.
Any ideas?
I am fairly sure the Ingleby is Ingleby Greenhow as that is where the family farmed.

Bury is in Lancashire - just use Google and ask "where is Bury" and you will get a lot of info

Hi

What age was  John Sherwood when he died, it always helps if you know that is. With this info. we may be able to clear up your query with regards to his mother.

Answered on your other post but

brothers Eleazor Sherwood and Samuel Sherwood of Ingleby co York executors of this my last will all my share in trade with William Bentley of Bury

Co York relates to the executors names Sherwood to my reading, William Bentley of Bury is a separate thing.
