I am researching Elizabeth Bury/Berry, my Gt Gt Grandmother. Born abt 1829 according to census. She is consistent with her place of birth as Baschurch on the Census.
She married Thomas Evans, 1855 St. Hilarys Church, Erbistock.
The father's name on the certificate is Edward Berry/Bury - Stonemason
I have not been able to find any information on her birth parents.
Two of her children were born in Bersham one being my Gt Grandfather Edward and Elizabeth. Elizabeth died in St. Martins Shropshire. After this 4 of their children were born The Lodge St. Martin Oswestry. This was up to 1864. After that another child Mary was born back in Bersham.
There are two children named Mary, one only surviving till she was 90.Wondering if Mary was the mother's name as it had been used twice. Elizabeth apparently died in Bersham in 1898. While Thomas was a miner, or Labourer Coal miner for most of his working life but on two occassions while in Shropshire worked as a Agricultural Labourer 1863 and Bricklayer Labourer in 1864 before returning to a Labourer Coalmine when he returned to Bersham. My question is, did Elizabeth have family living in Oswestry as I have not found any Evans family living in Oswestry, that I am aware of. Majority were in the Bersham/Coedpoeth area. Any help on finding information on Elizabeth Berry/Bury and her family would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Above them James Brally [James Brearley] 1816 and Family

I note the marriage in Denbigshire and I guess below their eldest son.

The Eliza Berry of 1826 had a brother, Henry Bury, baptised in 1831. Both to Mary, single woman, from the House of Industry.
Henry may have died in 1832, age 6 months.
There is a Mary in Shrewsbury in 1841: https://www.familysearch.org/search/ark:/61903/1:1:MQRP-NB3
I can't see any Berry or Bury in Baschurch for the right period.

Thank you for looking at this query for me.
The Lowe family in this 1841 census is not the same family Elizabeth is with in 1851.
Thanks

Yes, have been down the track of Eliza Berry St Chad Shewsbury. It is not an easy one at all. Just can't find enough info to actually confirm all this.
Thank you for taking the time to look at this for me.

Child's name is George Bury Astles. CORRECTION
His mother Alice Astles was Alice Bury daughter of Edward and Mary

Thank you for sorting this out for me. I just couldn't quite work it all out.
Much appreciated. Now to look see if this is the family I am looking for and that Edward is the brother of Elizabeth and that Alice is a sister of Elizabeth.

Woops got that wrong, Edward Bury Astle would be the nephew of Elizabeth and Alice the sister.
