Hi joshsal and others,

I am a descendant of the two Terry boys who came out to Australia in 1842.
My line is with William Terry.
They both came from Berkshire.The Kingston mentioned is definitely Kingston Inn, Berkshire.
I have other info. if you want to communicate further.

My goal is to track the Terry name and variants in the 1500's and 1600's as I have hit a "brick wall" there.

Does anybody have any leads there?

Thanks

Carol,

I'm absolutely flabbergasted by what I have just read. It appears that the additional notes from Annette7 & LizzieL had been sent over the last few days without my reading them - I don't understand.
It looks like I have been very non diligent in scrolling down the page.
The additional information would appear to corroborate my "gut feel" about who really was this distant relative of mine.
Carol, I owe the following to you which partly shows why I believed that person was Mary Horn.

The following is part of the E-Mail that I received from Paul in 2011 ...

"I also managed to get someone to transcribe the marriage for James Terry to Mary Jones in St. Giles Oxford on 02 Nov. 1807 :
  2Nov. 1807;
James Terry &Mary Jones sojourners
both made mark(rather than signed their names)after banns,witnesses Martha Terry and Thomas Horn
Sojourners is generally put alongside people who lived in the parish but have only lived there for enough time for banns to have been read. So neither James nor Mary actually came from Oxford St. Giles which also fits the theory that they didn't marry in either of their own parishes because Mary was about 5 months pregnant. It looks like they married then moved to Berkshire where they would have arrived as a married couple.
So I'm fairly sure that James Terry and Mary Jones are William and James Terry's parents but it will be difficult to prove absolutely  unless a record exists for one of their children that Shows Mary's maiden name.
Unfortunately baptism records were standardized across the country in 1812 and so it is unlikely that Michael's baptism record will show the mother's maiden name but Charles's baptism in 1808 might. I'll see if I can (get ) it transcribed."     

(Mary was pregnant with Charles at the time of the marriage in Nov. 1807.)

Carol,This might add to the almost concluded puzzle. If there's any anything extra that develops as a result of this ,obviously I'd like to know.

How do I get to thank Annette and Lizzie for their input ?

 I owe you all for your inputs.

Regards

Peter   

Carolyn,

Thanks. I've now become a paid up member of the Oxfordshire FHS.

The info. you sent was helpful.

Do you know of anybody who may be able to help me further in "digging right down" into the possibility of the Jones or Horn spouse challenge?

This is the area that Paul Thomas - Peter (Ebor?)was helping me with. Unfortunately he didn't appear to be interested in carrying on the research.

I'm happy to pay someone  to assist me to complete this research.

Regards

Peter



I am happy somebody
