Just received the marriage certificate for Henry URRY and Mary, parents of
this Henry William URRY. Unfortunately, I don't know their connection to my
family but it might help someone else in their research.

Groom: Henry URRY - age 20 - bachelor - Shoemaker - son of James URRY, Shoe
Maker
Bride: Mary Ann URRY -age 19 - spinster - daur. of Thomas URRY, Lace? Maker
Witnesses: William NEWBERRY & Fanny URRY (her X mark)
