Looking for information about John Bury, of Rochford, Worcestershire.

Looking for information about John Bury, of Rochford, Worcestershire.  1814, he married Ann Price, of Lindridge, at Knighton on Teme.  He died 1850, but I think his age at death --46,--is  incorrect. I believe he was born about 1790, and wasn't being honest with Ann.  She died 1839, age 46. She is not on the 1841 Census--but another Ann Bury--age 85, is with the family( died 1845, age 90)--possible his grandmother, widow of Samuel Bury..  I believe his parents were William and Ann(nee Mason) Bury.  I cannot find this John Bury Baptism---any help much appreciated.  Robert

Welcome to Rootschat.

John BERRY Buried 17 Nov 1850, St Michaels, Rochford, Worcestershire
Age 62 (Birth c 1788)

Same Church, all under BURY;
MARY, 19 July 1829, Daug of John, age 14 (birth c 1815)
HANNAH, 13 March 1833, Daug of John, Age 8mths
ANN, Wife of John, 13 Jan 1839, died 10 Jan, Age 46 (Birth c 1793)
ANN, Widow,  15 Feb 1845, died 13 Feb, Age 90 (Birth c 1755)
All above on FreeREG

By ages I would say Ann is Johns Mother.

Not sure why 1841 Census has them in Herefordshire but I am no expert on those sort of boundaries at that time
HO107/430/21/Rochford ( County: Herefordshire; )

Other with access to records I dont may be able to help you more.

Hello Trish1120,  Thank you for that.  I know Freereg entries for this family--and they aren't feally helpful.  I have much more on this Bury family from Family Search. The name varied Berry- Bury-Burry-Bery  Also viewed all the Films at Worcester Record Office. Extracted all Bury information from them.
The complete family was--
John Bury  abt 1790 = Ann Price abt 1794   married March 1814
 Children
 Mary Ann Bury abt 29 Jan 1815 @ Knighton on Teme
William   29.June .1817             @ Knight on Teme
Ann       23 January 1820           @ Knighton on Teme
Elizabeth  25 June 1826  @  Rochford
John         1 Feb   1829   @  Rochford  marr Eliza Yapp of Burford, Shropshire
Hannah    31 July 1832   @  Rochford   bur  13 March 1833
Thomas  9 March 1834   @  Rochford   bur   15  June 1834
Susanna  22 July 1835.  @   Rochford.

Both Rochford and Tenbury were in Herefordshire at that time---border changes for political reasons. Changed back again later.  Knighton was in 3 Counties--Hereford, Shropshire and Worcestershire !
John Bury is my direct line.  The John  ( Bury on FreeBMD) who died 1850--I have not yet found his Baptism--nor any John Bury of ANY parentage in that timespan.   I do not think Ann, widow of Samuel Bury, bur 1845, is John's mother--though I may be wrong! I have found a marriage for a Samuel Bury to  one  Ann Lightwood,  at Lindridge, near Knighton--April 1781--probably the right one. Ann supposedly b 1755.  There is a birth for Ann Lightwood at two places--same date--in Staffordshire.  July 1755---BUT she appears to have married one William Smith!   John was the informant at Registering Ann's  1839 death--stated Husband. When registering her death, why would he not indicate he was the Son--if Ann deceased  1845,  was his mother? Not definitive I know, but.........   
  To confuse the issue, there is another John Berry on the 1871 Census age 62 at Kyre Magna,  -b 1808--at Rochford!  Must carry on searching!!  Happy New Year!  Robert

Wow, good luck with all of that. Quite a lot for me to work through at this time of night!

Have ordered John Bury's Death Certificate (1850)  Should say he's a widower---informant name should tell me something more.

[trish1120]

Excellent idea to order the Cert.

Hi Trish,
                Cert arrived--confirms correct JB---death reported by son in law--dau Sarah's husband, but age 61 points to birth year of 1789--perhaps S I L wasn't sure.  Am convinced that this JB was bapt  1787 @ Clifton on Teme--to John and Mary B. (if correct, she ex Mary Hunt.)  This would point to the Ann --died age 90 1845  --being an Aunt--and why at death JB didn't state relationship.

John Bury 1787 Clifton on Teme ruled out! At age 49 he married a 17 yr old girl--and moved to Middlesex.   The search goes on.
