TERRY family - Wye.

[PtE]

Following on from bearkat's information, there were two young women christened on 12/6/1739, Ann Terry aged 27 and Joyce Terry aged 23 the daughters of John and Ann Terry. So the daughters would have been born 1712 and 1716 respectively. Perhaps they were Thomas Terry's sisters and none of this family were christened as babies. A John Terry married Ann Scourge 28/10/1706 at Wye.

Hi Bearkat, thanks for your input ( again ) . I had seen the Thomasin on the Hastingleigh site previously but for some reason had discounted him ( I really need to write my reasonings down ! ) When I move forward to Thomas Great x4 Grandad his parents are Thomas and Susanna so that`s why I think I have the correct father. The only reason I can remember for the Petworth Thomas is that he is the only one I can find on any search with the correct birth date. The burial record for Thomas that I got from Find My Past doesn`t mention birth place, can I ask where you found it please ? Thanks again, Tel.

This is a fantastic set of records.  It's unusual to find so much information in burial records.

If you go to the link that bearkat posted earlier, the Burial entries for Wye from 1783 add details of whether people were born in the parish or how long that they had lived there amongst other details.

I see what you mean PtE, I hadn`t noticed that when I checked the Hastingleigh/ Wye records before. That probably scuppers the Petworth theory then ! Cheers, Tel.
