John Parry

[Quarryman]

Looking for the marriage of John Parry and Lowry ? in the Llansannan area in the late 1600s. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction

It may be to Lowry Williams.There are certainly christenings to John Parry and Lowry Williams here

I haven't looked too far,so maybe the marriage is there as well.

Thanks, Despair,

Great help - will have to look closer for marriage. Could be married elsewhere.

I have downloaded an entry from 'Welsh births and baptisms' on FamilySearch which gives Harry Parry's name as Harry John. Could I assume (fatal, I know) that this is in fact Harry ap John. He is just Harry in the Llansannan registers.

My only knowledge of patronymics is what I have gathered on this site.As far as I know,Harry,a son of John Parry,might possibly be known as Harry ap John or Harry John or Harry Parry,but I would prefer if others commented before you made any further assumptions.Of course any form of reference to Harry ap John other than in the known context of a birth/baptism could refer to a Harry son of any other John..

I wonder if the following could be a misinterpretration or mistranscription?

The timing is appropriate to the first born of John Parry and Lowry Williams and there is no other obvious record of a John Bury in the register.

Hi Roger,

Great minds... When I saw John Bury and Lowry, my first thought was that it was a mishearing by the baptising cleric or a misinterpretation  or mishearing by whoever filled out the parish register, and it should be John PARRY. Bury is hardly a Welsh surname!

Are you also thinking that Harry may be the Harry Jones you are seeking in another thread?
Llangernyw is only 4 to 5 miles from LLansannan.

Hi Roger,

That's the way I'm going. The chain appears to to from Llansannan to LLangernyw to Llanbedr y Cennin to Llanllechidd to Llandygai; Dernbighshire to Caernarfonshire, from agricultural labourers to quarrymen.
