We have on our family tree a Maria Cary born to John Cary abt 1805 at
Long Buckby Northamptonshire. John Cary left a diary and dates of births
and buriels are listed. His wife or mother of Maria his daughter is
never mentioned. Maria married Robert Eyre 7/6/1824. Most of John
Cary's grandchildren birth dates are mentioned in this diary and there
is(we assume) his parents death dates, but does not mention where they
lived or died - just
"Mr Cary died Aug 27, 1834 aged 71 years" - so born somewhere 1763
"Mrs Cary died Nov 28 1834 aged 73 years." " 1761
..John Cary appears to have been a bit of a roamer, and records in the
diary that he
"Went to London Oct 1832" We left London July 1835. We went to live at
Daventry 18 Feb 1850. Went to Birmingham 1853. Left Birmingham and came
to Daventry 13 Sept 1854. Left Daventry 1855 Went to Long Buckby August.
Left Buckby and went to Northampton Nov 1855. Left Northampton to live
at Buckby 1858. I left London to come to Buckby 19 June 1860....
So one wonders where this John was actually born.
We have had look-ups done for the Cary family on the Northamptonshire
Rootsweb list to no avail. I'm assuming John was born mid 1770's and
just wonder as a long-shot if anyone knows of this John Cary who had a
daughter Maria. Dreaming of a break through. Cynthia Brodie
