I recently started to research my family history and I'm trying to unravel the origins of
Thomas Gerry.
These are the facts I have so far:
- born St Agnes 1798 (1851 Census) 1799 (1871 Census) - note: age 62 1861 Census
- married Elizabeth Pollard 20 May 1822 in Crantock (Cornwall Family History Society)
- children: Maria
Gerrey baptised 9 Nov 1822 Crantock (CFHS)
Thomas
Gerrey baptised 25 Sept 1825 Crantock (CFHS)
Henry Gerry baptised 23 Jun 1836 Crantock (CFHS)
- occupation: Miner (1851/1861 Census)
- living: St Columb Minor (1851 Census) with wife Elizabeth and son Henry
St Columb Minor (1861 Census) (Mount Wise, Newquay) with wife Elizabeth
Porscatho, Gerrans (1871 Census) in household of daughter Maria (Nicholls) - notes: (1) Thomas
Gerrey (2) no mention of wife Elizabeth in household
Other:
Possible daughter: Mary Ann Gerry born c 1834 ? (Found from another family tree, but unable to substantiate)
Possible mother: Jane Adams (
Thomas Gerry Adams, baptised 21 Jan 1799, St Agnes, no father's name - CFHS)
Possible death: Thomas Tregerry died 1872 age 74, St Columb (Elizabeth Tregerry, died 1867, age 69, St Columb) (freeBMD.org)
Any help or advice would be most welcome.
