[quote=Atarah;454737]HI, wonder if this rings any bells to anyone out there?

I am interested in tracing any descendants of John Bury, GGGf, born 1797, died 1842. Used to have a chemical works in Church. Was a staunch baptiist (buried Macphelah). Had 8X children, I believe.

One was Henry Bury, Antley Villa, and another Abraham Bury, who had a son called Herbert (Bishop Bury). My GGF was Benjamin Bury, JP, died 1916. Was told by my father that he was related to Arthur Smith Bury, JP, onetime Mayor of Accrington, but can't find any link. He used to live at Arden Hall (House?).

thanks

If you are a descendant of John Bury, it is fairly certain we are distantly related through his ancestor Henry Bury b1718 and Alice Holstad. One of John Bury's descendants was Benjamin Wilkinson JP owner of a chemical works in Oswaldtwistle.
