Hugh I think you are right, it isn't very clear but it is looking like a badly written 'Jabez'! Thank you so much for your help! How easy do you think it was to get from Buckinghamshire to Salford (where he was on the 1851 census) in those days? They seem to have gone backwards and forwards between Salford and Clayton West over the years, I'm presuming it is quite hilly around the start of the pennines? So many questions!!

Thank you once again!

Thank you Orpheus, that would seem to fit with the 1851 census info I found where it says born about 1815. My goodness how out was he on the other census returns!! All the census occupations are the same 'Rope Maker' which makes him easier to track...and now I have his mothers name too, thanks once again.

Hi and thank you for your quick replies!

Sadly his marriage certificate just says 'full age'. I think I just must have stuck with the first census I encountered which was the one taken in 1871 where he was down as abt 1823, I think I found him on the 1851 census that gives his birth year as 1815 and then in the Salford Workhouse in the 1891 census that has him as born 1817. I wonder if he just didn't really know when he was born but it does seem a bit odd, I think I have the right person in 1851 and 1891....

Hi everyone,

I am trying to find some information on my 3rd great grandfather Thomas Hearn born about 1823 in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. I only have census information and a marriage certificate to estimate his age and his place of birth. He married Eliza Armitage in Wath upon Deane 1852. One of the witnesses has an unusual name, Fabio Boothplats, or could this be a mistake by the registrar I wonder? It also has Thomas down as a widower so he had been previously married and his father is stated as George Hearn, occupation Waggoner. I can't find any info for either Thomas or George on the LDS website but may be looking incorrectly, I wonder if you kind people can give me any more clues where to look?

Kind regards,

Julia

That would be lovely JeannieR, I have a few other brick walls in my tree so should post in the relevant areas for help! Will try to do another couple of posts today. I'm finding it very addictive so far, I am also engrossed reading about the history of the Victorian era, what fascinating times they were!

Speak soon,

Julia

Hi JeannieR,

thank you for the warm welcome. I have read a few things from a google search about a Perry family in Tyrone at Perrymount, but doubt our Perry's are related to them  because they sounded like landowners, as opposed to our William Perry the tailor. War hero sound very interesting indeed, my research is very sketchy and full of holes being a relative newbie!

Kind regards,

Julia

Hi everyone,

my great great grandfather was John Perry b. abt 1863 in Edinburgh Scotland. I believe him to be the brother of Patrick Joseph Perry that you are discussing. Nice to know there are other Perry descendants out there and would love to know more information. I have traced William and Ellen Perry (their parents) back to Ireland but can seem to get any further than that...

Nice to connect with you all!  :)
