PIPE, KERRY of Brundish Suffolk

[Tanya Marie]

I am new to this.  I am interested in the above surnames.  My Great Jan a,  Millie Thorpe, ne Pipe, had a son with Walter Kerry - my Grandad Cecil Pipe, known as John.  Apparently Walter was murdered in Canada after leaving England In 1926.  Does anyone have any info?

Hi,

Welcome to RootsChat 

It would appear that Millie Pipe's birth record has her name as Millie Victoria Pipe.

This could be Millie on the 1901 -

George Pipe   28 b. Brundish, Suffolk, Stockman in Farm
Ellen Pipe   24 b. Brockford, Suffolk
Victoria Pipe   9/12 b. Brundish, Suffolk

RG13 Piece 1767 Folio 122 Page 10, Laxfield Lane, Wilby, Sufflok.

There's a birth of a Walter Kerry -

Walter Kerry
q3 1902, Hoxne,   Suffolk
Vol 4a Page 993

The Registration District for this birth is the same as that of Millie Victoria Pipe. so a possibility.

Is this the type of information you are looking for? If you are looking for Canadian records then it would be advisable to post a request on the Canadian board.

The only Pipe/Thorpe marriage I can see gives the brides name as Mildred

Marriages Mar 1926   

Pipe    Mildred V    Thorpe    Plomesgate    4a   1486    
Thorpe    Harry G    Pipe    Plomesgate    4a   1486   

is this them?

There was a Cecil W G Pipe born in Suffolk in 1920 - is this your grandad? There is no father's name given on the certification (according to options on freeBMD), suggesting that a.he was illegitimate, and b.that the father didn't go to the registrars to register him.

Walter Kerry, address Framlingham, a 36 year old farmer, sailed 3rd class from Southampton to Halifax, Canada, on 25 March 1926, on the Ascania. He was travelling alone and intending to settle in Canada.

If this is him it's a useful record as we now have an idea of date of birth.

and there is a Walter Kerry b 1889 with his large farming family in Brundish, Suffolk, in the censuses.

Hello JJ

Yes my Grandad was Cecil b 1920.  He died aged 57.  My Great Nana had my Grandad illegitimately.  She marriedsomeone Thorpe.  They lived at Coddenham.  He was buried there.
Sounds like you have found my Great Grandad Walter.  The date of birth
is approx 1889 and the ship's details sound accurate.  I found Walter's parents graves in Brundish the other day - Walter and Delia.  There is also a Hilda Kerry d 1914 aged only 5.
