I checked on ancestry and pulled up Preston Berry and found him at age 5 arriving in the states on Aug. 21, 1865. I also pulled up the 1880 Census and found him living in Lawrence, Essex, Mass. with father John and mother Alice Berry and a younger brother William, age 13. I also found someone with these same people in a family tree. It's amazing what you find when you have a few dates and names. As for your kinship with Thomas Berry...I'm assuming he was your great great grandfather? His brother William was my husbands great great gradfather. So that would make you a cousin to my husband, William W. Berry. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway I would like to keep in touch.

This is the most likely birth record 1838 Apr-June Dewsbury Volume 22 page 41. These are my only notes on "your" George 1861 found a George BERRY birthplace Heckmondwike living in Carr Street Batley Yorkshire. Has a wife Martha and 2 children Ann 22yrs and George W 16yrs, Occupation Woolen Manufacturer employing 2 men. George W is said to have been born in the United States of America circa 1846 but the daughter Ann was born in Heckmondwike in 1839. It is possible they moved to the US before 1841 and returned before 1861 Regards Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

My research - done some time ago so would need to be checked, indicated he was the son of Daniel Berry born circa 1817 in Heckmondwike and a Mary Ann Kelly born circa 1817 in either Heckmondwike or Gomersal (both used on census records). The marriage of this couple appeared to take place in 1838 Daniel BERRY 1838 Oct-Dec DEWSBURY Yorkshire Volume: 22 Page: 20 with the birth of their eldest son John taking place 1 year later in Oct-Dec 1839. John married Mary Ann Jowett in 1861 John BERRY 1861 Jul-Aug-Sep Pontefract Yorkshire Volume: 9c Page: 1 and this couple had 6 children, the youngest was Alice Maud Mary Berry who's birth in Massachusetts I am looking for. The George Berry you are looking for born 1804 in Heckmondwike - was one of 12 children. I am descended through his younger brother Thomas Berry born 1813 in Heckmondwike. I think several of these siblings emigrated - possibly to the USA - as they suddenly disappear from census records. The younger brother John Berry, born circa 1829 in Heckmondwike, is one of these. He married a woman called Betty, had 3 children then the whole family disappeared between 1861 and 1871. Their son was called Preston Berry born circa 1860 in England, so you may be able to find him on US census records if they emigrated. I have never found a death or marriage record for someone with that unusual name in UK records. So there may be a branch related to you in the USA descended from this family. If you would like more information on this family, or if I can help in any way, please feel free to contact me through the ancestry message system. Regards from the UK!

I have a George Berry born in 1804 in Heckmondwike, Yorkshire, England. His parents are Daniel and Mary Popplewell and one of his brothers is William Berry married to Elizabeth Naylor (these are my husband's great great grandparents). Uncle George was married to Martha ? and they lived for a time in Mass. and NH. William and his wife were both dead by 1846 and some of their children were living with Uncle George for a time. I too, figured that George may have returned to England at some point. When I was looking for William and George's parents I came across a marriage for John Berry and Mary Ann Jowett. William and George had a younger brother by the name of John. Could this be the same family? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I just did a quick check of census records, and there were 21 people with that surname in MA in 1920. They were in several different counties, but half of them were in Worcester County. I can check before that, but I cannot check 1930. But, as someone said, there is a great deal of information at www.familysearch.org One additional suggestion is to go there and click on "Go to Previous Site" and then click on "Advanced Search." That is where you can search for individual pieces of information.

ANNOUNCING NEW DATABASE BOOK 3 - INTERMENT INDEX ST. MARY'S CEMETERY, TROY NEW YORK INTERMENT YEARS - January 1919 - April 1935 A. Book 3, part of a multi-volume set of Interment Records at St. Mary's Cemetery, Troy, NY, which includes 5,142 names, has now been added to the Troy Irish Genealogy website. You can view these interment records by going to the Troy Irish Genealogy website at: www.rootsweb.com/~nytigs/ and click on TIGS PROJECTS and then click on ST. MARY'S CEMETERY, TROY, NY - INTERMENT RECORDS. B. This new data series of interment records list an individuals name, date of death and age at death. In a large number of records, the age is reported in years, months and days. Some entries without a date of death, are re-interments to or from another cemetery. It should be noted that these records, like most of the TIGS data series, cover the general population in the area and are NOT restricted to Irish surnames. C. Researchers having relatives with a CAPITAL DISTRICT area connection, will be interested in these on-line, name searchable, records of names of individuals who were interred in St. Mary's Cemetery in Troy, NY. If you live in a nearby county or even further away, you might want to check out these names. Take a look at the data base, you never know what you will find. D. The TIGS website has a PRINTABLE FORM that can be used to request more information from the Albany Diocesan Cemeteries. Mailing instructions and fees (only $5.00) are on the request form. Additional items that may be available from the full interment record may include: 1. LATE RESIDENCE: Most of the records in Book 3 show only the name of the city as the late residence. Only 115 records will show a house number and a street address. 2. INTERMENT DATE: The date of interment in St. Mary's Cemetery may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 3. SECTION/LOT#: The section and lot number may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. 4. UNDERTAKER: The name of the undertaker may be another clue which will be helpful to genealogy and family researchers. E. The following information on the 5,142 deaths will be of interest: 1. No age was reported for 335 names and 10 cases were reported as "baby" as the age while 5 cases were identified as "infant" as the age. There were also 108 records identified as "Still Born". 2. A breakdown of the other deaths by age groups shows: Under 1 year - 326 names. Age 1 to 10 - 281 names. Age 11 to 19 - 104 names. Age 20 to 29 - 225 names. Age 30 to 39 - 353 names. Age 40 to 49 - 533 names. Age 50 to 59 - 827 names. Age 60 to 69 - 1031 names. Age 70 to 79 - 700 names. Age 80 to 89 - 225 names. Age 90 to 99 - 47 names. F. While 50 of the 5,142 interment records showed no indication of residence, those records where the residence was reported are of interest to researchers outside of the Troy Area as they identify residences in numerous cities and towns throughout New York State as well as 14 other states and even 6 foreign countries. While most of the records were for the Capital District Area, other areas throughout New York State were reported. Some specifics on residence information follow: 1. The following NYS locations had three or more records: Albany-123, Albia-3, Averill Park-4, Brunswick-41, Buffalo-5, Cohoes-63, Colonie-21, Corinth-6, Glens Falls-6, Grafton-9, Green Island-146, Groveland-7, Hoosick Falls-9, Hudson-3, Marcy-4, Mechanicville-7, Moreau-4, North Greenbush-107, Niskayuna-5, Pittstown-6, Poestenkill-6, Poughkeepsie-96, Rensselaer-5, Rochester-7, Saranac Lake-6, Sand Lake-10, Saratoga Springs-14, Schaghticoke-6, Schenectady-37, Stephentown-3, Syracuse-7, Troy-3,670, Utica-13, Voorheesville-4, Waterford-12, and Watervliet-183. 2. The following NYS locations had 2 records: Berlin, Canajoharie, Chatham, Fort Edward, Geneva, Grand Island, Halfmoon, Hoosick, Hudson Falls, Lake George, Latham, Malone, Menands, Mt. Vernon, Onondaga, Rotterdam, Salem, West Sand Lake and White Plains. 3. The following NYS locations had 1 record: Binghamton, Bennington, Center Brunswick, Chestertown, Cooperstown, Dannamora, Eagle Mills, East Bloomfield, East Greenbush, Esperance, Gansvoort, Glenville, Hampton, Hawthorne, Herkimer, Ilion, Johnson City, Kings Point, Kingston, Lake Placid, Liberty, Lockport, Mt. Pleasant, Nyack, Oneida, Ossining, Otisville, Oxford, Plattsburgh, Port Henry, Pittsfield, Queensbury, Ravena, Raybrook, Rome, Schodack, Stephentown, Stillwater, Thompson, Ticonderoga, White Creek, Wynantskill, Wappinger and Yonkers. 4. For the New York City area, there were 13 records for Brooklyn, 3 for the Bronx, 106 records for New York City 6 records for Long Island. Thirty-eight records indicated "New York" so it is unclear if this meant New York State or New York City. 5. There were a number of records from the neighboring states of Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and New Jersey. Connecticut has 7 records, Massachusetts had 16 records, Vermont had 9 and New Jersey had 22 records. 6. Residence was also indicated from the following states: California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and the District of Columbia. 7. Foreign countries listed as the place of residence were Belgium, Canada, England, France, Haiti and Uruguay. (Note: The Belgium and French records are servicemen killed in World War II.) Hopefully you will find some of your ancestors listed in Book 3 of the Interment Index or in the various other data series on the Troy Irish Genealogy website.

Boston Herald dated 7 Feb 1907 (pub. Feb. 8) TOOK DOCTORS ADVICE Former Foxboro Inmate tells how he escaped the place -- Attleboro - There was a special unexpected local connection with Foxboro Hospital Investigation today when Frank N. Peart was arraigned on charge of drunkenness and uttering threats. He pleaded guilty to the former charge but not the latter. The officer said he went to the house, after being called there by the statement that a woman was in danger. Peart was absent from the house. He returned there while the officer was there and pulling from his pocket a hammer which he brandished over the head of his wife. He was fined $5 for drunkenness and held in $200 to keep the peace. Peart has been an inmate of the state hospital at Foxboro. While his case was in progress today, he stated he escaped from the place while following the advice of one of the Doctors there. He says he asked the physician the "easiest way to get out of the place" and was informed there were fours ways, "one to the north","another to the south", "a third to the west", and "a fourth to the east".
