This is part of my direct line; does anyone else connect?
1. William Robert Derry; (father of Richard William Derry, my grandfather), was born ca. 10-March 1822 to Robert and Mary Derry. Father Robert was a painter, residing at Compton Place. William Robert Derry died May 5, 1888 (Age 66); his body was interred 11-May-1888 at Islington (originally Finchley) Cemetery, London England.
William Robert Derry
Spouse: Sarah Ann LILLYWHITE
Marriage: 13 Oct 1844
St. George, Bloomsbury, London, England
1851 British Census:
Residence: 5 Caledonia Street
William Derry Head age 29 years Toy Maker born London
Sarah Derry wife age 24 years born London (DOB abt 1827)
Sarah Derry daughter age 1 year born London
and living next door at number 4 was:
Emma Derry Head unmarried age 20 years born St.Giles (DOB abt 1831)
Eliza Derry sister age 15 years born St.Giles (DOB abt 1836)
The exact relation of Emma and Eliza Derry to WRD has not been verified, but possibly they are his sisters.
Sarah Ann Derry (b. 24-Mar-1850) was baptized Old Church in the parish of St. Pancras 25-Jan-1851. Father William Robert was then occupied as a turner, living at Caledonia St.
1861 British Census:
Residence: 5 Hamilton Row
Richard LILLYWHITE Head with daughter Anne E. (father and sister of Sarah, repectively) and in the same household:
William R. Derry Head age 40 a Marine Store Dealer and Mathematical Instrument Maker born St. Pancras;
Sarah A. Derry wife age 36 born St. Pancras (DOB abt 1825);
Sarah A. Derry daughter age 11 (DOB abt 1850);
Esther Derry daughter age 8 (DOB abt 1853);
Richard W. Derry son age 2 (DOB abt 1859).
The Derry family was residing with father-in-law, Richard LILLYWHITE, Jr. This record gives the names of daughters Sarah and Esther. The latter daughter was presumably named after SAL's paternal grandmother, Esther Booth LILLYWHITE. Esther Derry was baptized Sep-1852 at St. Pancras, London. The birth of Richard William Derry was recorded 3rd Quarter 1858 in Clerkenwell.
