Great Information Gentlemen.
These are my Merry's as well.
I believe there is a descendant in Mitcheldean.
He's the son of John Kenneth Merry.
John's the son of Allen and Charlotte Merry.
There is a post by Gill Wise. His son married the daughter of the person living there.
John Kenneth is the brother of my Grandfather Austin James.
How are you two related to John and Harriet Merry?
