According to a tree on Ancestry, William Laycock Berry was born 09 Jan 1842 in New York, USA. Son of Robinson Berry and Hannah Pollard who emigrated in 1840.

If you're not a member of Ancestry then you can search and view those trees on Mundia (an Ancestry spin-off) - it's free to register and use. http://www.mundia.com/gb/
