Cherry family from Gravaghy/Banbridge

[enzfan]

Hello

I am looking for any information relating to Robert CHERRY born abt 1792.

Robert married an unk LAUGHLIN/LOUGHLIN and had several children he then married her sister, Jane. Their daughter Mary, born abt 1848 came to NZ in 1868.

There are contemporary Cherrys who come up in the same area who may be Robert's siblings - one being Moses and it looks like Robert had a son, Moses as well.

I've contacted the local church and was put onto Proni but there doesn't appear to be any surviving parish records. I've found bits and pieces on Ros Davies' County Down site and I've accessed free information available in relation to civil registration and census records to cobble bits and pieces together.

I am hoping that there is some genie out there who can fill in those early gaps.

Very kind regards
Robyn from NZ

Hello

I think that my Robert Cherry died in 1874, Reg Banbridge, aged 82. He was a weaver
