Berry/Barry marriage to Morrish Devon
« on: Friday 24 August 12 23:24 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I'm looking for help in finding a marriage record for James Barry/Berry to Emma Morrish probably in or around the Crediton area about 1850 ish.
  They are my ggg grandparents and moved from Crediton to Devonport sometime between 1851 and 1861.
  James was a shoemaker and Emma a bootbinder they had 5 children. I cant find a record anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
                 Thank You, Kevan.

in 1851 james was unmarried and living with parents james/ann barry in crediton
on the 1861 census james and emma's eldest child is a james barry aged 9 born crediton
i can see no record of a james barry/berry born in crediton between 1851-1854
there is however this birth in crediton in 1st qtr 1852 ;james barry morrish. which would seem to suggest that james and emma were not married when their first child was born
their 2nd child william was also born in crediton in either 1853 or 1854 his full name is down as william barry if he was born 1853 or william berry if he was born 1854
so if james/emma did marry it would probably be between 1852-1854 and probably in crediton

Hi Wozzle,
 thanks for looking into this , i have the birth cert for William Barry, 1853, showing his mother as Emma Barry formerly Morrish so im assuming they were married, maybe i'll just have to take a punt for the date as about this time but i would really liked to have pinned the marriage date and details down. im dry of ideas of where else to look.
  Thanks again, Kevan.
