Looking for & have been looking for years for the marriage of my Great x3 Grandfather John Fury and his marriage to Mary Durkin I think in the Sligo area .
I have them in the 1851 census in the UK under the name John Farg born c 1821 Bollington Ireland no idea where that is ? Wife Mary born c 1816 Sligo
4 children born in Sligo Thomas, Patrick  Bridget & Mary other 3 children born in Caistor Lincolnshire , I presume they came over to the UK 1847-48 as I have the birth certificate for there daughter Catherine 1848 Caistor.
Any info much appreciated , also the whereabouts of the son Patrick after the 1851 census Patrick aged 11 on the census dissapears !

Lincolnshire / Author G.S.Beard
« on: Wednesday 22 April 09 21:35 BST (UK)  »
I have just found a series of books called Lieutenant Fury also Midshipman Fury written by G.S Beard who lives in Lincolnshire .
The stories are of a man called John Thomas Fury set in the 1790s which I found to be a coincidence as my great grt grt grandfather was called John Fury & his son my Great grt Grandfather was called Thomas Fury born in sligo or mayo Ireland , but lived in Gainsborough Lincolnshire .
I'm intrigued.

I am looking for my great great great Grandfather s Baptism but he is not consistant with his birth details (sounds familiar)
1841 census unknown Matthew Holland 1806 with wife Sarah (dodd) lived in Surrey with their children John,Maryann and Sarah.
1851 census birth E Retford,Notts 1808 with Sarah living in Bermondsey have 2 extra children George & William young Sarah died.oh Matthew was a Tanner.
1861 census belford( think this should be Retford) 1806 now living with Sarah & children Maidstone Kent.
1871 born Westminster Middlesex 1803 he is now with Sarah & 2 sons living in Bermondsey.
1881 census born Westminster Middlesex 1804 living in Bermondsey with Wife Sarah & Grandson Arthur.
his death certificate says he died senile decay 1890 st olave southwark aged 86 which puts his birth at 1804 .
I have had a search carried out at the Nottinghamshire records office they have found nothing I have searched East Retford and West Retford and Clarborough records from 1800-1820 and I cannot find Matthew or any Holland s being born in Retford at this time. Westminster records office have had a look for me and so have city of London archives as anyone got any idea s please this is my 4th year trying to find him I know many of my Holland family were born in London & many were born in Retford Notts but I am at a loss where to look next any help would be much appreciated thank you.
