John Fury's book - Photo of Henry Beenie

[Tony Magee]

Hi

I am trying to find out information on a possible family member, but all I have is a photo and a name in John Fury's book, When the Fury Takes Over. (father of Tyson Fury, boxer)

There is a picture on the last page of the first batch of photos showing John Fury, his parents and a Henry Beenie, described as his uncle.

The resemblance to my grandfather is uncanny, they might be brother's or cousins.

Hoping someone can help me identify this Henry Beenie

Thank you

You would first need to give us some dates and birth place and a name for your grandfather but you can only name him if he has passed away. 

That will give people something to go on in finding a possible relationship to the other man.

My Grandfather is

Walter Beaney

1901 Thakeham, Sussex, England to 1989 - Southampton, Hampshire, England

His parents were Henry Beaney 1853 Cowden, Sussex, England 1936 Hastings, Sussex, England
and
Sarah Sally Barton 1857 Charring, Kent, England - ?

Ok thanks so have you found your grandfather on the 1911 census - or 1901 if he appears on that -  to see if he had any brothers?

You could also look up births for Beaney/Barton parents on Free BMD index to see possible siblings and if there was a Henry.

I have looked at the census records and the free BMD Index.

He has a brother called Henry born 1878 Tenterden, Kent, England, but I cannot say if the Henry Beenie pictured in the book is him or not.

That's why I want to find out if anyone who knows the birth date and location of birth for the Henry Beenie in the book.

I should explain that I have the Fury family on my tree, very distant in relation. I also have 19 Henry Beaney's with various spellings of the surname. Some I can discount by reason of year of birth, but I can't narrow down any further.

As it is only a picture in a book with a name and no mention of him in the written text of the book. I am hoping that a family member or someone with a knowledge of the family might be able to identify him and provide further details for him.
