Berry Of Berrynarbor, Devon

 

  (compiled by P. Berry ex “The Visitation of the County of Devon” 1531, 1564, 1620 and from information provided by Leonard Smith, Porthcawl)

n.i.= no issue  s.1,2,3 etc =son 1,2,3 etc    d. 1,2,3 etc = daughter 1,2,3 etc

 

This page was constructed as a working document to summarize the inter-relationships of the various branches of the Devon Berrys as I attempted to find the supposed link between the Berry family of Berrynarbor and my Irish Berry ancestors. This link now seems less likely to exist (see Before Ireland), but this page is included to assist others. Any comments, corrections or additions would be welcome. I would particularly like to hear from any Berry who has done a Y-chromosome DNA test, or would like to. (NB. Spellings Berrie, Berry, Bury, Beerey etc were pretty much interchangeable in the past).
