Westmeath / Gorry's or Gorrie's from Westmeath
« on: Monday 07 September 09 09:08 BST (UK)  »
My Great Great Grandfather was named Thomas Gorry and place of birth was Westmeath Ireland.
This information is from english census records and an 1849 english marriage certificate

He would have been born 1822 or therabouts. On his marriage certificate his fathers name and profession is listed as Thomas and profession Farmer. His father did not witness the marriage so I can only assume he was either dead or still in Ireland at the time

Any likely relatives out there in the great wide world please get in touch

Dave

I have revised the surname to either Gorry or Gorrie as it is confusing as to which is the correct original version from Ireland, as the marriage certificate only carries the mark of Thomas

Any suggestions are welcome

Hi,

Have just joined Roots. I have traced my fathers side back to a Thomas Gorry who came from Westmeath Ireland. At the moment that is as far as I have got. He would have been born around 1822.
He was in England at the time of his marriage which was in Islington London in 1849, and we have been here ever since
I have a copy of his marriage certificate on which he states his fathers name and occupation. His fathers name was also Thomas, and his occupation has been put down as "farmer"
There was no signature from his father on the marriage certificate, so I am assuming he was still alive and living in Ireland

Regards

Westmeath / Gorry's or Gorrie's from Westmeath

New to searching family history, but have managed to trace my fathers side back to Thomas Gorry from Westmeath Ireland.

From an 1849 marriage certificate;
At the time he was 27 years old and married Julia Crowley in islington London. His fathers name is also listed on the certificate as Thomas Gorry.

In the 1861 English census he gives his place of birth as Westmeath Ireland.
Childrens names on the 1861 census are Thomas, John, Edward, Julia, James, Catherine.

In the 1871 English census additional childrens names are Francis, Joseph & Charles

I am hoping that the childrens names are family names passed down through the generations, as some of them crop up quite often in the family. And that this might lead to a connection with someone on here

Hi,

I have just joined this website after becoming interested in tracing back my family name. So far I have been going straight back on my dads side and have got as far as the marriage of Thomas Gorry to Julia Crowley in 1849 Islington London England.

On the marriage certificate it lists Thomas as 27 years old coming from Westmeath. His fathers name and occupation is listed as the same name (Thomas) and occupation farmer.

Do you think there is any connection ?

Regards
