Hi, I am trying to research my family tree on my dads side but am having trouble as i only have a few papers to go by and he has died. His name was Jim Horry.
I have some sort of receipt Its to W HORRY & SON, LTD Wholesale Brewers & spirit Merchants, its dated september 1921. (Rout Green Brewery, Boston)
I am having trouble putting william into my tree. My dads dad was John Horry Born 1876 & i cant see any documents that would point to William Being my dads dads brother. ?? im a bit confused.
Also i have tried to google and keep getting led to the famous William Frederick Horry who killed his wife in 1871 (they too were brewers by trade) and he left a son William Horry who would have been born in 1869.
Could i be related to this William Horry? and if so how? and if not why do i have this receipt? If anyone can shed some light i would apprecciate it because i cant seem to figure it out.
Many thanks
Sarah Horry

Have you got the birth and marriage certificates of your Father and Grandfather?
Have you found either in the censuses?

I have my fathers birth certificate. I have my grandfathers 2 x wedding certificates & my grandfathers discharge paper from the army. Then this receipt, thats all i have. I thought i had found my grandfather and his siblings in the census records but there is no mention of a william there and i cant see why i have the receipt if he is not my relative.

Sarah Report 18 Feb 2012 21:56

Yeah thats the census i thought was my grandfathers siblings. My grandfathers Father was called James Horry (its on the marraige certificate) just cant understand where this William Horry ties in, i cant find any old census records for James Horry to see who his siblings were. I dont know where John Horry was born but im guessing somewhere in Lincolnshire cos thats where he first married at 26years old.

He did marry Lucy Harris in 1902 but why has the name changed to Harry? This would have made me think its not them but could it just be a mispell?

Looking at the original of the 1911 census and comparing the A in Watson to the A in Harry, I believe it should read Horry.

If that was correct birth for James in 1847, Boston, then these could be siblings, but also having difficulty finding them in censuses:
Births Dec 1845
Horrey Charles Boston 14 245
Births Dec 1846
Horrey James Boston 14 26_
Births Dec 1848
HORREY William Boston 14 238
Births Dec 1850
Horrey Maria Boston 14 269

1911 census says married 41 years............

Possibly under Orrey?
