Might have to scroll down a little to get to the Berry family.

Thanks gibbo.

I didn't list the children born in NSW because they are probably not on the vessel.

I think the middle name came from the vessel and that's the only one I've found so far. A bit odd that a family would be on that convict vessel. He was not in the army or a minister or colonial official as far as I can tell.

I have very little on Zachariah senior. Born 1788 Horsham, Sussex and died 1839.

:biggrin: Thanks gibbo.

Ok, I'll keep my cake and eat it too.

As I was trying to say ... He would be on the vessel if he was in the army.

Interesting that it does not mention daughter Elizabeth.

 

[DaveHam9]

Witness is married daughter Jane:

Marriages solemnized in the Parish of St. Philip Sydney in the County of Cumberland in the Year 1841
No. 173
Robert Berry of this Parish Baker, a Bachelor
Harriet Fry of the Parish of St. Lawrence, a Spinster
Married in this Church by Banns with consent of Commissioner
Ninth day of February 1841 (Forty One) By me William Cowper
Both signed
Witnesses: William Berry of Sydney, Jane Share (her x mark) of Sydney

 

[DaveHam9]

There are several but this might be the right one:

V18305042 3B/1830 BANKS JOHN - BERRY ELIZABETH - CA
V1830104 14/1830 BANKS JOHN - BERRY ELIZABETH - CA

 

[DaveHam9]

I'm also looking for info on Harriet FRY born abt 1821.

I wonder why the marriage has "with consent of Commissioner."

 

[gibbo]

And now its trivia time :biggrin:

Son Zachariah went to St Phillips Sabbath School in 1838 :biggrin:

The Colonist (Sydney, NSW : 1835 - 1840)
Wednesday 21 March 1838

ST. PHILLIP''S SABBATH SCHOOL. - We have seen the two silver medals presented this year to the best scholars in the school, one girl, and a boy. The name of the former is Jane King, and that of the latter is Zachariah Berry. The medals are about the size of crown pieces, with very appropriate inscriptions and devices of a religious nature.

Thanks gibbo.

[DaveHam9]

Thanks gibbo.

Zachariah born 1846 is the one in my tree by marriage to a FLETCHER

 

[gibbo]

Case closed?

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes thanks.

I can't find if the 3rd Reg of Foot was in Paris or Ireland 1816-1823. Looks as though they returned to England in 1822 to prepare for service in NSW.

Thanks gibbo.

Oh. 1804 onwards. I now wonder what might be on the Medal Roll.

Hi

I am a descendant of Edward Berry - his parents were Zachariah Berry and Mary Smith.

Children of Zachariah and Mary that I have identified are:
- Jane 1813 - 1876
- Robert 1815 - 1883
- Elizabeth Keziah - 1816 - 1908
- Zachariah Commodore -1823 - 1824
- Zachariah - 1825 - 1887
- John - 1827 - 1844
- Mary - 1828 - 1829
- Edward - 1829 - 1876

There is a gap in children between Elizabeth and Zachariah. I will pull out the information I have on Zachariah's military service.

Happy to share the information I have on the family.

 

[DaveHam9]

Hello cranksygirl,

welcome to the Forum.


Any information on Zachariah's military service would be great even though it's a branch of my tree way off a main line.
