Hi Brendan,
Yes, these common first names and so many ways to misspell Cary certainly increase the
challenge of the hunt! We might have been lucky if the "e" hadn't been
dropped from the spelling of our Cary name--only four letters and through the generations
it is so often misspelled.
Thanks for your response,
Linda

in Wigan England 1815, and we are direct descendents of them.
Yours Truly,

Subject: [CAREY] Wm Thomas Cary (1862, MA-1933, CA)
For several years, I have been researching my husband's ancestry,
but can
get no further than his great-grandfather, William Thomas Cary, an only
child. He was a traveling salesman and a professional figure skating and
roller skating performer in the western U.S. (c.1894-1908), for which we
have numerous newspaper clippings and an original copy of "Skaters History
on Ice and Roller Skating," 1916. We also have photographs of his
father, name unknown, and his mother, Phoebe S. Jones.
Beginning with my husband's grandparents, each also an only child:
Clyde William Cary, b. July 25, 1892, San Francisco, CA; d. Aug 25,
1982, Magnolia, AR.
m. Irma Gertrude Baillie, May 18, 1918, Ft Sill, Lawton, OK; b. Oct
24, 1894, San Francisco, CA; d. July 1984, Magnolia, AR.
f. William Thomas Cary, b. July 6, 1862, MA; d. July 1, 1933, CA
m. Nellie May Dillon, b. Jan 15, 1867, CA; d. Nov 14, 1951, Marin
Co., CA.
f. Unknown Cary, b. Massachusetts
m. Phebe S. Jones, b. Chelsea, MA.
If any of these names or history is familiar to anyone, please email me.
We would be most grateful for any leads.
Linda Cary
