Subject: William Henry URRY - unwanted? birth certificate & 1861 lookup
Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 15:04:15 -0400


Hello everyone,
I just received a birth certificate for William Henry URRY - born 27 Feb 1859 at Lugley Street, Newport - son of Henry URRY, Journeyman Shoemaker and Mary URRY, formerly URRY. The William Henry URRY I was looking for was son of David URRY and Mary LOCKE.

However the certificate brought up another question. My Gt.Grandfather was Henry URRY who emigrated to Canada in 1860 (according to 1901 Cdn census). He had a history of "fleeing" whenever times got tough or the whim hit him, and I am wondering if the Henry URRY, father of William Henry URRY, is "mine".

Could someone please find Henry, Mary and William Henry URRY on the 1861 census, likely at Newport. If father Henry is there (mine was born 16 Jun 1838), I'm likely out of luck on this connection. If he is not, I'll order the 1856 marriage certificate for Henry URRY and Mary URRY to see if Henry's father is Stephen (my Gt.Gt.Grandfather).

Thanks for any help offered.
Regards, Janet (Ontario, Canada)
