Hi Guys
I still haven't been able to find any information about George Rice Price Parry's birth / parents / siblings
I posted some information here:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,269450.msg1537495.html#msg1537495
and tried the site suggested but didn't find anything. I've had a look through Pigots Trade Directory for 1823 and couldn't find any Parry's.
I've got him on Census' for 1841 & 1851 in Wales - Living in Holywell; Occupation Tailor. In 1861 he's in the Workhouse at St. Asaph. In 1871 he's living in a boarding house in Bradford; Occupation Tailor.
In all these returns he states he was born on the Isle of Man but I can't find any evidence of this.
Its a major brickwall that I'd love to topple so any help would be appreciated.

Have you eliminated George Isaac Pary bapt. 13 May 1810 at St Mathew's C of E
Douglas IOM parents John Pary / Margt. Clarke. ??? Very few Parrys ever in IOM.
-
Joyce, thanks for that I'll get in touch and see what info we can swop - have a large parry family!
Voirrey - i have seen the entry on the LDS website but I don't think its the right George. Throughout the records george referrs to himself as Rice Price Parry and Isaac doesn't feature in any of his offspring's names either.
-
Is he possibly Catholic ? - the name Rice is often Catholic and there was a Rice family in Peel - see http://www.manxnotebook.com/towns/peel/rice.htm - if so then Catholic records don't seem to exist for that period - see http://www.manxnotebook.com/parishes/rcath/rc_bapts.htm for some recorded in Dublin which have a Rice family member as sponsor

I think you will find this is Pavey not Pary - and also I think he is buried Braddan 18100928

All of the family marriages / baptisms / burriels are carried out by the Parish Church in Mold - this is Church of Wales and Christian.
....and here was me thinking that Rice Price Parry is rather uncommon so would be easy to track......silly me! :-\
-
I understand that Roman Catholics consider themselves Christian (having possibly some 1500 years prior claim than the Church in Wales? (they disestablished many years ago so no longer 'of') ) - however it is not that unusual for a male to defer to his wife's wishes in religion.
-
Religion confuses me and I certainly can't follow all the twists and turns of the family........
So.... if there were very very few Parry's on the Isle of Man maybe he wasn't born there - could he have been born elsewhere (say Ireland) and gone to the Isle of Man as a very young child? Does anyone know how common the Parry surname was over the water?
....thinking via posts now, he's got be going round in circles - seriously thanks for all your help so far. :D

The census entries for Scotland , England & Wales show many Parrys born in all regions of
Ireland.

Hi Again
Im still having no luck so have gone back to what i do know from census returns and he doesn't give his year of birth consistency...they are as follows
1841 Wales Census = 1816
1851 Wales Census = 1813
1861 Wales Census = 1810
1871 England Census = 1805
Do you know of any Parry's on the Island between these times?? *clutching at straws*
Thanks in advance

Go to www.iomfhs.im Click on RESEARCH on home page & you
can search for Parrys there.
-
Thanks Voirrey, i've already looked there ... but the entries are too late.
-
Parry was a very unusual surname here. A simple surname search in 1841 shows one 15 yr. old
servant/ 1851 a female headteacher & 2 female Parrys & 1861 only one -- a Charles Parry
age 20 / a lodger / in Castle Street , Peel town in German parish/ a slate quarrier born Wales along with 2 other Welsh colleagues.
-
I have 9 parry's and one perry (I wouldn't try to distinguish them given Manx prononciation) in the 1841c (tho one - benjamin ) was I think counted twice - family of james perry + judith quirk in Peel + that of Saml Perry + ann morrison in German (tho saml wasn't at home that night) + the couple of odd ones (eleanor welsh born servant)

Just been reading around as I’ve been looking for Parry in Holyhead, after reading this thread I noticed on the next page to my find on Probates, that’s there is a reference to a John Parry and his probate/will of 27 August 1860, late of the Isle of Man in the parish of Llanfaethle, Anglesey. Farmer deceased who died about 7 March 1860 on the Isle of Man. Will granted at Bangor to Mary Parry (Widow the relict) of Isle of Man..etc.
I hope this might be some use in attaching some Anglesey Parry’s to the Isle of Man Parry’s you search for.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
