Hello
I am looking for any information relating to Robert CHERRY born abt 1792.
Robert married an unk LAUGHLIN/LOUGHLIN and had several children he then married her sister, Jane. Their daughter Mary, born abt 1848 came to NZ in 1868.
There are contemporary Cherrys who come up in the same area who may be Robert's siblings - one being Moses and it looks like Robert had a son, Moses as well.
I've contacted the local church and was put onto Proni but there doesn't appear to be any surviving parish records. I've found bits and pieces on Ros Davies' County Down site and I've accessed free information available in relation to civil registration and census records to cobble bits and pieces together.
I am hoping that there is some genie out there who can fill in those early gaps.
Very kind regards
Robyn from NZ

Looking back into my family tree my g grandmother on my mothers side was a Sarah Cherry, her father was a Moses Cherry and his father was a Robert Cherry. This is according to Moses` marriage cert when he married a Sarah Lowry in Garvaghy Parish Church in 1852.

Hello
I think that my Robert Cherry died in 1874, Reg Banbridge, aged 82. He was a weaver

Hi there
Yes, definitely the same family. You will be related to my husband ;D
Do you know how your husband is related back to Moses Cherry?
-
Hi there,
Your common ancestor will be Moses' father, Robert Cherry.
Robert married twice and Mary, a daughter from his second marriage, came to New Zealand as an assisted immigrant in 1868. She and her husband had 12 children but only a few married and went on to have children.
Do you happen to know the name of Moses' mother? Mary's mother was Jane.
Regards
Robyn :)

I think this family might have been related to a Cherry family who ended up in Scotland, in the village of Thornliebank, parish of Eastwood, in Renfrewshire. I only know about them because I had Petticrew ancestors from Belfast who came over to Scotland in the 1830s and settled in Hawick. In the 1861 census Daniel Petticrew - brother of my ancestor Agnes - wasn't at home in Hawick and I eventually found him living with a family called Cherry in Eastwood, and described as "visitor". I discovered that the father/husband of the family, Hugh Cherry, master shoemaker, had recently died and maybe Daniel had known him or even been related and had gone to Eastwood for the funeral.
Hugh's death-certificate states that he was 50 and the son of Moses Cherry, farmer, and Ann Hamilton. He was married to Elizabeth Murray and in 1861 their children were Ann, Grace, Elizabeth, Moses and Margaret.
Ros Davies's surnames of Co. Down site has an entry for Hugh Cherry and Elizabeth Murray, who were married in 1836 at Killinchy. Daniel Petticrew's mother was a Jane Murray and his wife was Abigail Hamilton.

Thanks for that.
Certainly worth delving into. It may be that Hugh's father, Moses was Robert's brother :)

very interesting
My Cherry family live in the townlands of Ballyalgan and Ballytrim of Killyleagh are near Killinchy

Hi
No he's not a Cherry. Mary Cherry came from Ireland in the 1800s to NZ and married a man called Chatfield. My father-in-law's mother was a Chatfield.
His name is Cedric Taylor

... A daughter of his sister has had her DNA done as well.

Hey Cherrys
I'm still working away on my Cherry connections.
I have found so many connections with an ancestry DNA test. I would totally recommend.
Get the DNA of the oldest Chery relative that you know, before its to late :) future generations will
thank you.
