Marriage of Clement Gerry bef. 1655 Ashwater, Devon.

[Higpoidius]

Anyone help with a spouse?

Children to Clement Gerry are:

THOMAS 2 OCT 1655 ASHWATER to: CLEMENT
JOHANN 3 MAY 1658 ASHWATER to: CLEMENT
JOSEPH 5 APR 1659 ASHWATER to: CLEMENT
THOMASIN 8 DEC 1662 ASHWATER to: CLEMENT
MARY 22 FEB 1663 ASHWATER to: CLEMENT
JOHANN 4 JUN 1667 ASHWATER to: CLEMENT

There is a Ann JORY (possibly a sister of Clement?) m. Willm Beale, 23 Jun 1651, Ashwater, but I can't find a marriage for a Clement Gerry/Jorry anywhere. Any help gratefully received.

Many thanks.

There is a will for a John Gerry of Tavistock, 1650, held by the National Archives. Might be worth a look?

FreeReg  has a burial for Clement Gerry in Ashwater on 23rd November 1667.
Can't find any trace of a marriage.

I looked at the will of John Gerry of Tavistock on TNA - wills on here are free to view is you're registered.
He leaves bequests to several children but doesn't mention a son Clement.

Have you seen this?
The Protestation returns of 1641/2 list two 'Gery' men at Ashwater.

I looked for wills here for them - The Devon Wills Project
https://www.devonfhs.org.uk/devon-wills/
but no luck.

You'll need to try Gery,Jerry,Jery, Jory etc as alternatives.

Thank you teragram31510, bevj and goldie61 for this useful information. I didn't know about the Devon Wills Project, and that could be very helpful in other family searches. Will try the spelling alternatives to find Clement.
