Perry of Cambridge 1674 & 1753

[Selina]

There is a marriage of Sarah Perry to John Watkins in 1759 at St. Michael's Church, Cambridge.  The parish register is online on FreeReg http://freereg.rootsweb.com/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Marriages&RecordID=660116eg

John was from St. Jame's, Clerkenwell
Witnesses were  Ann Perry and Geo Perry.

There is one query on this however, FreeReg gives date as 1 January 1759 whereas P.R. transcript gives it as 21 January.

That is one more solved, thanks Selina, now we just need to find John Price and his Perry connection.

Have you tried posting on the Suffolk board to see if anyone has the parish register for St. Mary's, Newmarket?

Of course John Price could have been related to John Perry via John Perry's wife if he was married.

This is a possible

John Perry, of Newmarket, co. Cambs., s. m., & Sarah Buckle, of same, s. w., at Kennett. 21 Oct 1736.

I don't understand the John Perry burial for Bury School why it has a note saying "foreigner"

I think I have Perry postings in Suffolk already

It might be John Perry had two wives, the 2nd's Christian name being Mary

What Sarah Perry burials are there about 1739?

There should be children of John and Sarah in 1730s

I have no idea about the 'foreigner' bit - it says the same for Thomas Perry's entry.

Without knowing more about the documents concerned I think care needs to be taken as to what the 'Book - burials' indicates, both John and Thomas have that.  Other records have rather strange 'Books', for instance the John Perry/Sarah Buckle marriage that you found is in the Suffolk: Sudbury Marriage Licences 1684-1754 collection but the Book is The Hearth Tax. Charles 2nd.

Re that marriage - it is not listed in the Cambs Marriage Index nor does it appear in the register of St. Nicholas, Kennett.  Where it says 'at Kennett' - could that possibly mean that Sarah Buckle was of the parish of Newmarket but was at Kennett at the time the licence was obtained?

If you recall I could not find the marriage of Thomas Perry and Ann Reeve in Cambs either and as that was also in the Suffolk: Sudbury Marriage Licence collection I think you should try and check out if they all got married in that area.
