Hello All
Hoping another pair of eyes will confirm what I've found or find another possibility.
William Augustus Sherry was baptised 30 June 1822 St James Church Paddington.
I think I've found him on the 1841 census just as William without a surname at 1 Vere Street (HO107 piece 676 bk 1f olio 20 pg 32) but then I've got a problem.
Is this him in 1851? The Ancestry search result lists a William Sherry with a wife Charlotte at 39 Gloucester Street, Finsbury (HO107 piece 1513 folio 104 pg 24) but I'm sure the enumerator has him written down as Shury on the census sheet.
Is this him in 1861? This time Ancestry search results show William and Charlotte Shury at Perry Mill, Lewisham (RG9 piece417 folio 111 pg 22). By this time they have a son Charles with them aged 9.
I haven't found a death for William Sherry between 1841 and 1851, and there isn't a marriage for William Sherry with a Charlotte but there is one for William Shury.
If this isn't him and his family, has anyone got any other possible sightings?
Thanks in advance
Dawn
