Title: FEARY - Grendon early 1700s
Post by: denmcn on Friday 06 October 17 13:12 BST (UK)
Hi all,

I am hoping someone here might be able to help me.

The furthest I can go back with my Feary line (I am a Feary myself!) is to William and Ann Feary who lived in Grendon in the 1720s. They had Thomas (1723), Mary (1726), William (1728) and John (1738) (that I know about) - these two William's were my 5th and 6th great grandfathers.

William (the son) moved to Middlesex at some point and only that his will mentions lands and a timber business in Grendon I would have continued thinking that he was born in Middlesex.

He married Ann Higgins in 1765 in London and they had a son William James in 1778 (Ann was quite a bit younger than William). He died the following year.

I would love to connect with anyone with looking into this family too

Best wishes
Denise Feary McNamara
