Worcestershire / Re: Bury and Hill, Bewdley/Ticknell
« on: Wednesday 17 November 21 15:47 GMT (UK)  »
I made an enquiry on a Facebook Group about Ticknell House and John Bury.  John Bury was my wife's 4th Great Uncle, hence my interest.  John Bury took out a 5 year article on a Benjamin Gardner (3rd Great Uncle) who became a solicitor, councillor and Mayor of Bewdley.  His mother was Ann Bury, John's sister.  Benjamin joined the Bury family solicitors under the name of Bury, Gardner & Bury, the last Bury being John Bury's son another John.  This John bought Kateshill in Bewdley/Ribblesford after the death of his father. More to research!

Sussex / Re: The Braziers of Rye

This thread caught my eye as my wife's maternal 2nd great grandfather was Henry Brazier (1802-1845) also from Rye. He was married to Mary Munn Furby (1808-1846) from Rye on 20/10/1832. They had two children, Henry (1838-1838) and Frederic (1843-1878). Frederic married an Ann Taylor but both died relatively young leaving 3 children who had to be left with relatives in Worcestershire. Henry was a wool-stapler and had a warehouse in the town. He was a local councillor and was asked to become mayor.  He refused due to corruption in the council which is another story!

I have appreciated the memorial records that have been provided as some of these where relevant to me. Henry and Mary have a memorial plaque in the Parish Church and I was once told that he/they are buried in the church.
