This was my great great grandmother, born abt 1834 hackney, her father was WILLIAM FERRY according to her marriage documents, no dates for him.
Emily married Samuel Greenwood on 27 july 1863 district church of st james shorditch, which was in curtain rd but no longer exists.
My great grandmother was Louisa Jane Greenwood, born in 1864 Shorditch/bethnal green, who married my great grandfather William Thomas Wild, also born 1864 in Shorditch. The Greenwoods and Wilds had been close family friends and my great grandparents had been childhood sweethearts.
I am trying to find our several things for this branch that has stumped me,
The only census record I have for Emily is the 1871 census, I have no mother for her either....I am looking at the possibility that the FERRY family were from a romany heritage, this is from family hearsay , which goes along the lines of Emily leaving her clan to marry an outsider and being cast out by her people, who later took her first born child....Im not to sure how much truth there is in that last bit!
I am also looking for an exact death year for both Louisa Jane Wild nee Greenwood, and my great grandfather William Thomas Wild....I cant find it either of them, as I am trying to locate their burials thiss is making it rather difficult!
I think that William died around 1922, I think Louisa had died by 1912 or there abouts!
Any info on these people would be great, I have plenty I can help with down William Thomas Wilds mothers family if anyone has cause to need it, get in touch please!
