John Rowe GERRY/ John Gerry

[tilly25]

Hi

I am trying to find the parents of John Rowe Gerry born 1855 Horrabridge, Devon, died 1916 Devizes, he married Emma Mary Dingle 1859-died 1953 and they had Horace Leonard Gerry born 1889- died1940.

Also wanting to check if they had any other children besides my grandfather Horace Leonard.

Also looking for Emma Mary Dingles mothers maiden name, I know she was called Mary W (middle initial) and was born in Tavistock Devon

Any guidance would be appreciated

Hi

According to the newly released census they've had no more children other than Horace. The info given in this census simply says one child born one child still living.

1891 RG12; Piece: 1731; Folio 82; Page 10

transcribed as Gerrey  - John R is 31 yrs

As you can see his age is not consistent with b 1855

A bit difficult at the moment to identify him- perhaps you need the marriage certificate to trace his father. 

By looking through censues, a Felix Gerry b Horrabridge shows up so here is a possibility for the family:

Hi

If you look for him in the 1861 and 1871 as John Gerrey bn circa 1861 in Buckland Monachorum you'll find him living in the area/street called the place he later gives as his own birth place.
