He buscado mi genealogía y llego hasta el año 1860 (aprox)que es cuando aparecen Thomas Gerry y Margarita Smith. Thomas' parents were James Gerry & Elizabeth Herring(?) and Margarita's parents were James Smith and Bridgit Keeghan or Kighan. Thank you!. James Gerry and Elizabeth Herring married Jul-Sep 1854 Launceston 5c 45 so it is possible you have the wrong parents. In the 1851 census there is an Elizabeth Gerry born 1801 (widow) with a son Thomas Gerry born 1824, a tin miner in St Agnes Cornwall. In the 1841 census the family is shown with John Gerry born 1801. So if you made a mistake and the parents were John Gerry and Elizabeth then that might be the correct family. In the 1860s the Cornish tin mining industry went into decline and many miners emigrated, including to Argentina. In the 1851 census there are many Margaret (Margarita) Smith with father James and a few with mother Bridget, but none with both parents James and Bridget. Keeghan is a name of Irish origin. There are several Bridget Smith with daughter Margaret where Bridget was born in Ireland. Do you have birth dates for Thomas and/or Margaret or any other information?
