Yorkshire (North Riding) / Re: "Cherry",
« on: Monday 31 October 05 11:49 GMT (UK) »
This is an interesting post for me as I am researching the Cherry family in Heptonstall, West Riding. I know that Thomas Cherry b 1821 who married Susey Dewhirst was the son of another Thomas Cherry. Thomas 1821 had a brother called James and a sister. But I am wondering whether he also had another brother who could prove some sort of link between the Heptonstall Cherrys (who moved over the border to Cliviger, Lancs), the Swaledale ones and the Co Durham ones.
Look at this 1851 Melbecks Census entry:
CHERRY John/Head/32/Lead ore dresser/Yks/Heptonstall
CHERRY Ann/wife/30/Yks/Heptonstall
CHERRY Jane/dau/8/Yks/Reeth
CHERRY Tho'/son/6/Yks/Heptonstall
CHERRY Simon/son/4/Yks/Reeth
CHERRY Sarah Ann/dau/11m/Dur/Walsingham
Obviously John might have come here by chance (for work?) or he might have been returning to where he already had some family. Does anyone have any ideas?
