1851 census William Henry Sherry

[dawnsh]

Hello all

Can't get to the library until the weekend to use their copy of Ancestry so am asking for some help in the meantime.

William Henry Sherry born around 1819 in Bath living with a 'wife'
Mary Ann nee Wood(w)ard born around 1828 in Suffolk
daughter Mary Ann born around 1848 London
daughter Amelia born around 1851 London (may not have been born by census)

William and Mary 'possibly' didn't marry until 1853 just before emigrating to Australia.

Thanks in advance
Dawn

Hi Isobelruss

Thanks for the lookup.

I wonder where Mary Ann and the child(ren) are?

Will rummage around at the library this weekend to see if I can find them. Hopefully they won't be too far from William.

I can't see Mary Ann and the girls in 1851,but I have found the parents marriage.

William Henry Sherry and Mary Ann Woodard married in the Dec 1/4 of 1853 in Lambeth the ref if you want to get the cert is Volume 1d page 433.

What a great surname to be looking for.........and when it all gets too much you can go and get the Sherry

Hi Carol

I lived with the surname for 22 years before I got married and had great fun with a work colleague whose surname was Cherry. We frequently got each others phonecalls at work  clients weren't too impressed when they got the wrong department though, I was in purchasing, she was in credit control. We thought we might be related somewhere down the line, but genealogy has proved us not to be.

Back to the look-up, did you look-up the girls under Sherry, Woodard, Woodward or all 3? Just need to clarify so I don't repeat this when I go to the library next time.

Hi Dawn

Yes I did look under all three- one looked promising......a Mary Ann Woodard,but she was living in Suffolk with the wrong hubby 

I think I can see Mary Ann Sherry's birth in 1848- but Amelia(1851?) doesn't seem to appear under any of the surnames does she?

Good luck

Carol

Thanks Carol,

Here's a thought, maybe the girls weren't William's!!  

What details do you have for Suffolk.

I'd assumed the girls were born out of wedlock and William and Mary Ann married just before going to Australia in 1853 for propriety's sake.

Puzzled now

Well done Welsh lady,I didn't think little Mary might be with grandma.

I must be getting hungry and tired  

I did look at that Mary Ann,but saw Bristol and the fact that she didn't have her daughter with her and ignored it.

Daft so and so aren't I ?
