SAMUEL PARRY (General)

Thanks a lot Mike. Maybe my Familysearch methods will respond better to "Porry", my lack of hits earlier seemed very odd, unless it was just guiding me towards Durham... ?!

Yep, I just input John & Caroline Poory, found the 1861 Census straightaway, and I used to think Familysearch/LDS was excellent at automatically offering name spelling variations... maybe they've been "improved" aka Ancestry ;-)

Re that 1881 Census, "Pensher" is the old name (local dialect!) for Penshaw or even once Painshaw, near Durham, itself a coal mining town (Herrington Colliery); see http://ukga.org/england/Durham/towns/PainshawPenshaworPensher.html

Continuing the Census series from Mike's post;

1881 Census, Taynton, Gloucestershire

Household Role Gender Age Birthplace
John Parry Head M 68 Widower, Farming 1 Acre Land, Longhope, Gloucestershire, England
Charles Parry Son M 14 Longhope, Gloucestershire, England
Ellen Dawe Housekeeper F 40 Cannon Frome, Herefordshire, England

Wife Caroline's dead, so searching other children to try to find Samuel, perhaps;

William born Blaisdon abt 1853 = ?? cannot find for sure, so many Williams..

James born Blaisdon abt 1855 = 1881 is a railway porter, lodging in large household of Robert Mawby, outfitter's assistant(gen dealer) at Cirencester.
Cannot find him in 1891.

Emily b1857 = 1871 is servant at large household of James Dicks, grocer, Huntley.
Then ?, married ?

Henry b1859, cannot find in any census, or a Burial Record ??

Cannot find Elizabeth b1861, married ?

Julia b1863, not sure but could this be her in 1881 ?.
WHY GO ALL THIS WAY APPARENTLY ALONE, ESPECIALLY AGED JUST 19, UNLESS SHE TRAVELLED WITH BIG BROTHER SAMUEL (30) ON HIS ROUTE TO DURHAM ??.

1881, Clayton (in Bradford), Yorkshire West Riding;

Finally Charles b1867 is with his father, see above.

So, still no hint of Samuel, except proof that his siblings aren't averse to travelling the UK for work, and his sister Julia appears to be not too far from Durham, where our Samuel may be.
