Does anyone out there have any connections to a Samuel WHERRY who was married in Ulverstone abt. 1870, to Mary Ann MOYLE.
They apparently lived in the Lancashire area and most of their children were also born in the area.
It is known that they migrated to Australia aboard the ship "Florence" arriving in Queensland on the 17 June 1876.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Not sure if this is what you wanted
I found them on the 1871 census in Ulveston
RG10/4241/114/15 Pennington, Swarth Moor,Lancs
Samuel Wherry Head m 26 Iron Ore Miner Cornwall, St Austell
Mary A do Wife m 21 Miners wife Cornwall, Redruth
Margaret do Dau 1 Lancs, Pennington
the Wherry name appears to be a Cornwall name, if you would like me to look at earlier census I am happy to do so.

G'day Libby,
Thank you for the info and also taking the time to look for it.
It will certainly help.
At this stage, my friend (John Wherry) is going through his family file to see what else would help him tie it all together.
His is one of those difficult families to try and research. Thats why I've been assisting where I can.
I have found quite a few references to them in Cornwall but we know that they were in the Lancashire area as well.
I was hoping to find a bit of their history in the Lancashire area.
Cheers
Len
