If he's correct, then Elizabeth can't be Miles's first wife, if Miles and Frances had a child in 1798

thanks again :-) this is the same family I am researching.
The Author's date of birth for John BERRY is incorrect as I have it as 19.3.1818 on F/S  and the marriage of John BERRY and Honor GERKIN (Girkin) 3.12.1839.
Is there a way of contacting the Author of the post of 2007?
thanks also for looking on the map regarding the proximity of the villages.

So if John was born 1818, it does make the Elizabeth Lyons possibility live again.

You could send the author a PM, or try replying to his post, but as he's not been active for 7 years, that may well connect to a disused email. But worth a try anyway.

On Ancestry there are several baptisms to a Mathias Berry (sometimes transcribed as Michael) and his wife Ann nee Wilson in Woodbridge at end of 1700s and begining of 1800s so contemporary with the Sarah baptised to a Miles Berry and Elizabeth Lyons. Ancestry has that baptism date as 3 Feb 1803. Given similarity in name there is possibly of a relationship.

thanks for the info, I will put my thinking cap on...and will try to send a PM.
most grateful for your help and advise as I am a beginner at this.

Of course, this John (1818) was in your first post. I've found him with Honour in Poplar in 1851 with several children.

Maybe there was an earlier John who died, but the author of the other post hadn't spotted the discrepancy in ages.
