HI, wonder if this rings any bells to anyone out there?

I am interested in tracing any descendants of John Bury, GGGf, born 1797, died 1842. Used to have a chemical works in Church. Was a staunch baptiist (buried Macphelah). Had 8X children, I believe.

One was Henry Bury, Antley Villa, and another Abraham Bury, who had a son called Herbert (Bishop Bury). My GGF was Benjamin Bury, JP, died 1916. Was told by my father that he was related to Arthur Smith Bury, JP, onetime Mayor of Accrington, but can't find any link. He used to live at Arden Hall (House?).

thanks

Is this the Bury family of Bury Brothers Calico Manufacturers?

My grandfather (Ronald Greenwood) and his father (Alfred) both worked for Bury Brothers in Accrington. They were in management and Alfred made a lot of money, but lost it all in the Depression. Ronald played in the Mill Orchestra (Cello). My parents had a photo of him with the orchestra, but in a purge burnt it with a load of others.

If anyone has any photos or other info about Bury Brothers I'd be very interested.

I've attached a couple of text files which may be of interest.

Henry Bury · 18-09-2008, 11:18

Many thanks for all the info. So sorry not to have replied earlier.
Please let me know if I can help you.

Henry

I seem to remember a reference to The Bury Brothers Archive held in Manchester library.

I'm really only interested in any references to Abraham, Alfred or Ronald Greenwood, plus any photos you might find. I think they were mainly based in Accrington, although Alfred spent some time on the Manchester Cotton Exchange.

I've found mention of Briggs-Bury in the census records, it's worth joining Ancestry.co.uk (or such similar) and searching their records.

Before the war he worked for his uncle at Messrs J. Bury & Sons.
The workers at Spring & Union Mills contributed to a brass plaque
which hung in the Oak St Congregationalist Chapel.

His parents gave his age as 23 years in memoriam notices.

I have discovered that Ann Bury ( sister of John & James ) married into my Burford family. She married Edward Burford who's family were Baptist and Calico printers from London/Essex. At the Manchester archive there are a couple of letters from their son John Burford at Pendle Hill to John Bury Jnr at Cateaton Street London dtd 1814 & 1815.James Briggs is also mentioned in one letter who I suppose is a relation to the Briggs married also into the Bury family. If anyone has any further information regarding the Burford family I'd love to hear it.

Henry Bury · 31-12-2008, 17:25

Hello Vpinkangel,

Your codename seems to indicate that we've been in contact before. Many thanks.

If we haven't, would be very grateful for any info on Bury family, though would stress that I have no proof that I am related to A. S. Bury. It's just supposition.

Best wishes, Henry

Henry Bury · 04-01-2009, 15:09

Probably no information additional to what you already have on Burford family. However, Ann Bury was rel, and I have quite a lot of info on Bury family. Pleased to help in any way I can.

Henry Bury · 04-01-2009, 15:17

Very interested to read re Mary Bury, 1804. She was sister of my GGGF, John Bury, 1797. Could we exchange info? Don'y know how I missed your entry.
