Francis Berrington born c 1854

melanipick — 2008-11-08 10:50:44Z

Am looking for Francis Berrington born c1854. Can only find him in 1881 census where he says born Leamington Spa. He married in 1878 in Chippenham, Wilts and left his wife in 1881 with a young child. She died 1885 and it states she was a widow but I can find no death for him, nor any birth or baptism. On marriage certificate, he says his father was William Berrington, a cab proprietor.

Can anyone find him?

Martin!

do you know.. that I never noticed that reply! THANK YOU SO MUCH for all that great information.. I didn't have any of it.. i'll add it to my gedcom right away

man, I need to get back to that.. I was doing pretty good for a while.. then it all fell apart :-)

that information on "my" first entry James is especially interesting. as well as "my" james' siblings

One of the things that annoys me with my family tree is that every single generation has so many people named James, William, Thomas and Richard.. oh.. and George - they weren't very creative were they? I guess when you have so many kids it helps if most of them have the same name ;-)

Martin, I'd be happy to share my gedcom file with you .. if you'd be happy to share yours with me.. very interested in continuing to persue this in my spare moments :-)

cheers!

Hi Katie,
There was a Berrington-Davies family in Glamorgan. There is a Berrington Castle where they lived. I have an article on it if you'd like a copy.
I recently found that my Berringtons may be from Hereford before they lived in Abergavenny.

Hi Peter

My grand father, Alfred Berrington, was born in 1904 and I know he had brothers and sisters but I haven't been able to trace them as he died about 6 years ago and I never got a chance to ask him about them but as soon as I know if your Grand mother is in any way connected I'll get back in touch as I have got as far back as 1833 on the male side of the family

I have just started my Berrington family. All my relations are from Liverpool, starting off around the Everton area, then to Kirkdale and finally to Orrell / Bootle. However, the furthest I have got back is to when my GG GFATHER married Eliza Jones. Eliza was born Whitchurch??, Shropshire c 1836 if anybody thinks there might be a connection please get in touch

Re: Descendants of John & Ann (Parrish) Berrington of Cardington, Bedfordshire

2004-02-20 07:46:29Z

June,

I don't have any information on the William listed as living in the home Joseph and Margaret Berrington in 1880, but I will check with my second cousin (Peggy Ferrier) who has done more work on our genealogy than me. She may know if his middle name was H and if was married to Jessie M Gibson. She also visits this website, s she may answer you directly.

Peggy and I are actually a descendants of both Charles and Hattie (Joseph & Margaret's children). Charles was the only child born to Joseph and his first wife who died at a young age. Joseph then remarried to Margaret and had the remaining children, so Charles was a 1/2 brother to the others. Charles's son, George John Berrington, married Hattie's daughter, Maggie (McGreggor). George and Maggie are my Great Grandparents! Back then I think it was OK for cousins to marry???? I turned out OK!

Re: Descendants of John & Ann (Parrish) Berrington of Cardington, Bedfordshire

2004-02-20 04:45:50Z

Mike,

I am looking for infor regarding my Great Grandfather, William H. Berrington who married Jessie M. Gibson in 1881. According to the 1880 Census of Cuyahoga Co., Ohio in the household of Joseph & Margaret Berrington were the following:
Charles, age 22, Wm, age 20, Hattie, age 15, Samuel, 12, John, 10, Jessie, 7, and Ella ,4. Could Wm. H. Berrington be this Wm? Wm. H. died in 1891 of pluerisy; Jessie died in 1893 of consumption leaving 3 children, Wm, Rob't, age 10 (my grandfather) and Hazel.

Cuyahoga Co. records show no birth records for Wm. H. and his marriage license does not have his parents names on it.

Any info of connection would help. Thanks.

Re: Any Shropshire Berrington info out there?

martin13075 — 2004-02-07 12:24:32Z

I have been researching the Shropshire Berringtons for a friend of mine and may have some info for you

I have found James Berrington christened at Hope Bagot (just over 3 miles from Coreley) on 28th June 1789. This is probably the James you are referring to who had a family at Coreley, though I note you have a slightly different date.

James was the son of William Berrington and Mary Anthony. William was christened at Burford 22 June 1755. Mary came from Richard's Castle. They married at Burford 7 March 1779.
I believe Mary was buried in Ludlow 24 April 1809
Their children :
John - baptised at Greete 20 Dec 1779 (buried 8 days later)
William - baptised at Greete 5 April 1781
John - baptised at Greete 20 April 1783
Thomas - baptised at Hope Bagot 12 March 1786
James - baptised at Hope Bagot 28 June 1789
Mary - baptised at Hope Bagot 3 March 1793
Benjamin - baptised at Hope Bagot 13 Dec.1795

James's father, William was the son of Charles Berrington and Anne Granger at Burford 22 July 1750. Charles was buried at Greete 29 June 1785 and Anne was buried at Greete 12 Jan. 1797

I believe my friend to be descended from the other son of Charles and Anne, John who was baptised at Greete 8 Oct. 1752.

I have assumed that the the Hope Bagot and Greete baptisms are the same family. There's an elememt of if and maybe about it, but I believe that is your family.

Any Shropshire Berrington info out there?

2003-12-05 20:20:12Z

Hey folks... I am looking for any info I can get on the Berringtons of southern Salop / Shropshire.

My berringtons are from the Corely / Ludlow area, mostly farm labourers - and my earliest record is of James Berrington b. September of 1789 in Coreley (Salop & Worcester) and died Nov 7, 1846

James married Ann Williams (1795 Burford - 1879 coreley) and had 10 children of which I have records, mostly, for William Berrington b: 1832, Cleobury Moritmer d: 1890

I'd love to share all my info in gedcom - and I'd love even more if somebody can enlighten me as to James' parents, siblings or descendents of his kids other than William.

Thanks in advance.

I am also related to Joseph Parrish Berrington. He was my 3G grandfather. My 2G grandfather was Charles Berrington, my great grandfather was George John Berrington; and my grandfather was Albert "Bert" Berrington of Fillmore, CA. My father is Donald Larry Berrington of Fillmore.

Hi to Peggy (Ferrier) and George (Mouchet)-both are 2nd & 3rd cousins.

Re: Berrington's of Wilstead, Cotton End, Haynes Bedfordshire

2003-05-07 20:47:26Z

Hello Mike

Yes, that is the same family.

Cotton End is only a small village ~ a chuch & a chappel, a small infants school and 2 pubs [one of those doubles up as a shop] but not even a post office now.

Wilstead is the next village and where the two [BERRINGTON]boys were born who died in the Great War [World War 1]. Joeph Parrish BERRINGTONs father was their great grand fathers brother]

I have put a small tree on line and some other links you may be interested in so will send you an e mail if that's OK?

Ps: I dont have Joseph P BERRINGTON's spouse on the tree I do have wives for his brothers : James [m Sarah CROOT] and Charles married Amelia DEAKIN]

Re: Mary Ann Berrington

2003-05-07 19:34:39Z

I may be mistaken. I re-read your post and realized that I misinterptreted it the first time, there must be another Mary Berrington with a brother named Charles from Bedford. The Mary Berrington I'm referring to married John Thompson on April 15, 1845 and they came to the US in 1851. She did have a brother named Charles that was in Bedford though??

Sorry for any confusion i may have caused you.

Re: Charles Berrington

2003-05-07 19:22:34Z

The Charles Berrington of Bedford was my great great great grandfather's (Joseph Parrish Berrington) brother. My great great grandfather's name was also Charles Berrington, so apparently named after his uncle, your great great great grandfather!

"Your" Charles Berrington was the son of John and Ann (Parrish) Berrington and my records show he was born in 1839 and died on Nov. 22, 1910. He had 10 siblings, but I only know the names of three: Joseph (my G G G grandfather), Emma (Berrington) Thompson and Mary (Berrington) Thompson.

John Berrington was the son of John (born 1770) and Elizabeth (Wiles) Berrington. He was born in 1800 and died on Sept. 30, 1883.

Ann was the daughter of James & Abigail Parrish from Cotton End. Ann was born on May 11, 1806 in Cotton End, married John Berrington on Dec. 24, 1822, and she lived her entire life (103 years) in Cardington, near Bedford, Bedfordshire. She had 10 children, one of which was my great, great, great grandfather, Joseph Parrish Berrington. He was born May 11, 1828, immigrated to the US (Cleveland,Ohio) in Dec. 1851 with his sister, Mary (Berrington) Thompson, and died on Jan. 16, 1916 in Clevland, Ohio.

I hope this helps. I have more genealogy on John Berrington going back four generations to the early 1700's if your interested.

Descendants of John & Ann (Parrish) Berrington of Cardington, Bedfordshire

2003-05-07 18:56:07Z

I'm a great, great, great, great grandson of John and Ann (Parrish) Berrington and am interested in finding out more information on their descendants.

I know that John Berrington married Ann Parrish ( daughter of James & Abigail Parrish) from Cotton End on December 24, 1822. Ann (Parrish) Berrington was born on May 11, 1806 in Cotton End, and she lived her entire life (103 years) in Cardington, near Bedford, Bedfordshire. She had 10 children, one of which was my great, great, great grandfather, Joseph Parrish Berrington. He was born May 11, 1828, immigrated to the US (Cleveland,Ohio) in Dec. 1851 with his sister, Mary (Berrington) Thompson. Joseph Parish Berrington died on Jan. 16, 1916 in Ohio. Joseph's children were: Charles (my great great grandfather), Hattie (my great great grandmother-its a long story!), Sam, Jessie, John and Ella. I also know that Joseph Parrish Berrington and Mary (Berrington) Thompson had a brother named Charles that remained in England and a sister named Emma (Berrington) Thompson, but I don't know any of their other siblings' names.

I am interested in locating any descendants of John and Ann (Parrish) Berrington and finding out more about the Cardington, Bedfordshire area and whether any Berrington descendants still live in the area because I would like to correspond with them and maybe plan a future visit to England.

In addition, I also have genealogy info going back four generations to the early 1700's for John Berrington (who was married to Ann Parrish).

Re: Berrington's of Wilstead, Cotton End, Haynes Bedfordshire

2003-05-07 18:35:46Z

I'm a little rusty on history and from the US, but was the "great war" you're referrring to WWI or WWII??

I've been doing research on my genalogy and the town of Cotton End caught my eye. I am releated to a John Berrington who married an Ann Parrish ( daughter of James & Abigail Parrish) from Cotton End on December 24, 1822. Ann (Parrish) Berrington was born on May 11, 1806 in Cotton End, and she lived her entire life (103 years) in Cardington, near Bedford, Bedfordshire. She had 10 children, one of which was my great, great, great grandfather, Joseph Parrish Berrington. He was born May 11, 1828, immigrated to the US (Cleveland,Ohio) in Dec. 1851 and died on Jan. 16, 1916 in Clevland, Ohio.

I am interested in locating any descendants of John and Ann (Parrish) Berrington and finding out more about the Cardington, Bedfordshire area to plan a future visit to England.

In addition, I also have genealogy info going back to early 1700's (4 generations) on John Berrington.

Thanks for the information. I realized I had Charles listed under Joseph's first wife, Mary Thompson, but I was missing William. Do you believe this is your William? If so, please email me privately. I can send you quite a bit of information about Joseph, including a photograph of him, and a photo of his mother as well.

I also have some Thompson information.

Re: Berrington Family Tree

George,
I just checked the info I got from the LDS site. In the 1880 Census of Cuyahoga Co., Ohio. Jos. & his wife, Margarethe, listed their children as follows; Chas., age 22, Wm., age 20,
Hattie, age 15, Samuel, age 12, John, age 10, Jessie, age 7, and Ella, age 4. From Peggy Ferrier, I learned that Margarethe was Jos. 2nd wife. All the above were listed as Berringtons.

Re: Berrington Family Tree

gmouchet — 2002-12-15 22:43:43Z

No, according to my information Hattie's siblings were:
Samuel b. June 28, 1868
John b. September 04, 1871
Jessie b. March 13, 1873
Ella b. July 21, 1876

Was William from the Cardington area? If so, who were his parents? I have a copy of a family tree of Cardington Berringtons which might be of use if you can go back one more generation.

Re: Berrington Family Tree

2002-12-15 05:26:34Z

George,
Did your ancestor Hattie Berrington have a brother, Wm?

Thanks.

My great-grandmother was Mary Ann Berrington. She married Marshall Kerry. Their daughter, my great-aunt, was born Elizabeth Annie May Kerry (we called her May) in Nottingham 1-11-1896. Much of the family lives in Leicester. My grandmother's name was Harriet Eveline Kerry. She married Henry Oliver Jones - all from Leicester. They had a brother Marshall who lived in Reading, Pa. and another brother William (Willie) who lived in California. They came to America around 1900.

I am very new to the family tree research and have really only looked at the IGI but my family tree seems to start mysteriously about 1800 in Nottingham. It would be a good guess that they came from Hathern but I don't know how to progress this. Any help would be appreciated.
