Hi
To save any possible duplication of info - can you tell us what you already have in the way of census info etc and what gaps you are trying to fill?
He was born 5.6.1850 and christened 18.6.1850 at St John's Paddington. Parents were Edward & Elizabeth address 2 Southwick place. Edwards occupation is shown as "Esquire"
The minister who officiated at the christening was William Bury

Hi Kattie
Following on from what Carole has found for you, the Burys were no longer living at 2 Southwick Place on 30.03.1851 (census night). However from the people who were living there - a banker, his wife and son, six servants and his nephew - it seems it was a good house. Neighbours in Southwick Place were a surgeon, annuitants, gentlemen, a banker, a colonel, and a barrister so that gives some idea of the quality of the place. The address still exists (you can see it on Google Streetview) but I'm not sure that the houses there now would have been built on 1851 :-\

p.s. I think I may have found them in 1851 at 6 Hasker Street, Chelsea. There's Edward age 29, Head, Shopman, born St Pancras, Elizabeth age 29, Wife, born Tooting and baby Edward son age 11 months born St Pancras BUT the family name is listed as BARRY.

Wow, so soon so much help. This forum is great. :o
THANKS SO MUCH to all! ;D
Sorry, I should have been a little bit more specific what I am looking for. ::)
I could already gather some basic data. Thanks to you I could confirm some imprecise data. :D
Edward Alexander later was a reverend.
I am mostly interested in the last 15 years of his life (about early 1880s to 1896). Well, all places are interesting where he stayed throughout his life.
I have a scan of the census from 1891 and know that he died in 1896.
It is highly probable that I own a photo album from him. The pictures were taken in the 1880s/90s. So far I have been pretty successful in identifying several places shown but there are still severals gaps and people shown are not identified.
So, it would be great to know at which places he stayed the last 15 years of his life and maybe even pictures of him and family. Probably only someone researching specificly the Bury family might have knowledge like this ???
At some time he has lived in Capetown, Branksome (Dorset) and Bournemouth. Seems to have travelled a lot.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Kattie

Somebody called Frasier has notified a transcription error on the 1891 census in March of this year so may have a connection
I have sent an email to Frasier via Ancestry with the link to this post

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.
