~ TERRY FAMILY ~
CANTERBURY
All Saints Canterbury (the church is no longer there)
John and Ann(e) Terry (nee?) had the following
children:
Children Baptised at All Saints in Canterbury
Samuel Terry - May 12, 1763
Sarah Terry - March 24, 1765 (most likely died before 1774)
**Mary Terry - August 3, 1766
Ann Terry - July 8, 1768
*John Terry - February 28, 1772
Sarah Terry - October 21, 1774
Elizabeth Terry - June 16, 1783??
|
I believe this **Mary TERRY could be the mother of our John Terry, base born son of Mary Terry, baptised on April 22, 1787, at St. George, the Martyr.
There is the burial of a Mary Terry aged 21 on October 9th, 1788, at St. Mary Northgate, which would make her birth year about 1766, so it seems to fit in nicely. One of the witnesses at John Terry and Hannah Steady’s wedding in 1816 was a James Terry. *John TERRY, Mary’s brother (see above) had a son named James. James was baptised on October 25, 1795, at All Saints Church in Canterbury. James would have been about 21 when John and Hannah were married in the Fall of 1816. |
St. George the Martyr |

children:
Sophia Terry - Baptised August 22, 1790 - St. George the Martyr
Mary Ann Terry - September 22, 1793 - baptized at All Saints *1841

There is an embroidered sampler by Eliza
that one of the family members still holds that was hand-stitched
and reads:
Religion prompts us to a future state,
The last appeal from fortune and from fate.
Where God's all righteous ways shall be declared.
The bad meet punishment the good reward.
Eliza Howard October 31st. 1831
Aged 10 Years.
JOHN TERRY (1821 - 1891) & ELIZA HOWARD (1822 - 1900?)
Married February 24th, 1845
Eliza's father - Thomas HOWARD, farmer/turner?
Their son George Terry (baptised August 24, 1845)
(Eliza would have been at least 4 months pregnant when they were married as George was baptized 5 months after their marriage)
George TERRY of King Street age 15 months, was buried on October 25th, 1846 at St. Alphage Cemetery
Their son George Thomas Terry
Born July 8th, 1847 2 a.m. King Street, St. Alphage, Canterbury. Fathers
occupation - Labourer
Their son William Terry (baptised April
14, 1850)
Their third child William was baptised on April 14, 1850, also at
St. Alphege.William is listed in the 1851 Census with his parents,
John and Eliza and brother George Thomas. He was only 1 at the time.
The family was living at 14 Black Friars, St. Alphege. I found the
death of William Terry after doing a little more searching. William
died on the 28th of October, 1854, at Black Friars, Saint Alphege,
Canterbury.
William was the son of John Terry, a labourer, and Eliza Terry (nee
Howard). He died of Scarlatina at the age of 4. His father was in
attendance at his death. William TERRY of Blackfriars was buried November
5th, 1854 at the age of 4 1/2 in St. Alphage Cemetery.
Their daughter Eliza Jane Terry (b. Sept
29, 1852)
Dec 1852 Canterbury Vol: 2a Page 490
John Frederick Terry (baptised May 27,
1855)
He was baptised as John Frederick Terry on May 27, 1855, at St. Alphege
in Canterbury. John Frederick was 6 years old in 1861 when the census
was taken in Canterbury. He was the son of John Terry, Upholsterer’s
labourer. He died of Morbus Cordis, certified at the young age of
8 years. Morbus Cordis means no more than heart disease. A catch-all
phrase for death by natural causes when the exact cause was not evident
to the physician. He died on the 17th of December, 1863, while the
family were living at 9 Black Friars in Canterbury. John Terry, his
father was present at his death. (not buried at St. Alphage)

Sept 1860 Canterbury Vol: 2a Page 518
Joseph Terry (baptised December 28, 1862)
Joseph was baptised on December 28, 1862, at St. Alphege in Canterbury.
He would have only been 8 when he passed away at the end of the year
in 1870. He died on November 9, 1870, of Scarlatina (Scarlet Fever).
The family was living on Black Friars still, and John Terry, his father
was working as a Groom. Joseph’s grandmother, Hannah Terry was
present at his death. She was quite possibly caring for him while
he was sick. Her place of residence was in Wincheap, Canterbury. Burial
November 13th, 1870 age 8, Joseph Terry, at St. Gregory the Great
(A155)
Mary Jane Terry (baptised April 21, 1867)
Mary Jane was baptised on April 21, 1867, at St. Alphege in Canterbury.
She died in the later part of 1870, the same time period as her brother
Joseph. I believe it is quite probable that she also died of Scarlet
Fever, as the disease was very contagious. Mary Jane would have only
been about 3 years old when she passed away in 1870. Burial November
6th, 1870 age 4, Mary Jane Terry, at St. Gregory the Great (A155)

John TERRY Senior called, did not answer (supposedly received 5 pounds for voting for Messrs. Johnstone and Gipps in the election of 1852)
James KELSON...There is a J. TERRY; is that John TERRY or James TERRY? I think that has no business to be in that list. It is money that I lent the man privately. I am not certain whether I gave Mr. POUT an account of that or not. How much was it you lent him? I think about 5l or 6l. I lent it him at different times. Did you lend it him to secure his vote? No, I did not. When did you lend it him? Previous to the electionl; a part he has borrowed since. It is more like a gift of charity than anything else. How long before the election? It might be three or four months. But how long before the election? Perhaps three or four months, I am telling as far as I know.
