Bury Family Tree
Hi,
This is my first post as have only just discovered this forum and the amazing threads and information being shared so I hope someone can help me. I am trying to trace my family tree back as far as I can through the male line but have come stuck at 1718. I am a descendant of the the Bury's of Sabden on the James Bury side, through Thomas 1793-1872; William Edward 1825-1906; Charles J Bury 1857-1941 etc. I've traced back to Henry Bury 1718-1776 Gf of James of Sabden but that's as far as I know. I don't know who Henry was married to, although I think Mary Leeming as one I cannot find any others, nor how many children Henry had apart from James senior (1739).... I have so many questions.... and if anyone could cast any light on this part of the family I would be really grateful. Thanks. |

hi Chaz, thanks for the reply. Yes I have tried this website, am also on Ancestry.co.uk and will be visiting the Local History archive next week in Manchester to find out more. One of the problems is that there seems to be too many Henry's about at the time and when they get married as Henry Berry but sign the register as Henry Bury! it just adds to the confusion. I have read a few posts on the forum from others who seem like they may know more so I was hoping they might provide some help ?Anyway, thanks again for responding. |

Re: Bury Family Tree
I have just had a look at the book "The Birth of a Lancashire Village Sabden" and there is some information on the Bury Family in there. It seems to have come from another book which is sourced inside.
It states in there that they were quite a prominent family in the area so to go further back have you gone down the line of Wills or apprenticeship records? |

I have heard of the book, will have to get a copy. Yes they were very prominent and I have quite a bit of information on the brothers John and James Bury who set up ther Sabden works in around1792 I think, with involvement from their sons and father, also called James and his father called Henry. From my latest research I think Henry's father was Richard Bury,(Dob 1696) spouse called Anne but I am trying to varify this yet. Not looked at Wills or apprenticeships though... interesting. Thanks again for your reply. |

Re: Bury Family Tree
Interesting photos of old Sabden here and a mention of the Bury family.
Bob I notice you published this book.

I have copies of these pictures and seen the book you refer to, it was these that made us visit Sabden a few weeks ago to see the "landmarks" - Bury row, Baptist Graveyard, St Nicholas's, site of print works, and the Whins etc. We looked all over for the Machpelah graveyard in Accrington without any luck ... then found out from this forum that it is now a Homebase / garage forecourt ! and that any Bury remains might be in the New Lane Baptist church in Ossie so we will be off there soon.Thanks for your interest. |
