  1. Thanks DAVIDW. Yes, there is more than likely a connection with a Sarah of this kind of age - the more cross references I can build up, the better. Must say I've found the Notts Evening Post very useful for research, particularly the births/death/in memoriam sections.
  2. Cliff Ton - I'm currently working on the assumption that this Richard Kerry (who had at least eight kids, one of whom was Arthur) is my nan's grandfather. I know when she was young, her own father had a house on Carlton Road. DAVIDW - That certainly gives me something to work on. It would be good to find a descendant of John Kerry as I'm currently unearthing evidence to show that his plane crashed some 30 miles from the location given in the current texts. Once again, thank you.
  3. Many thanks for all the quick replies. If Martin Kerry is 'Trooper' Kerry, then it is quite possible that we are related back to his great-grandparents. I don't know if he's still active on this site, but it would be good to hear from him if he is. It appears that a branch of the Kerrys have been into poultry/greengrocery since at least the early 1900s. I believe my nan's dad - John Kerry - had a greengrocers on Hartley Road, probably in the 1940s and into the 1950s.
  4. Hello all. Although I was not born in Nottingham, nor have I lived for any length of time in Nottingham, I spent many a happy day of my childhood with my grandparents - a Fewkes and a Holmes; and a Brown and a Kerry - in said city, particularly during the 1970s. Most of the time it was with my dad’s parents, the Browns of Stanley Road - playing on the Forest, visiting the arboretum, and sitting in a smoke-filled Hyson Green Boys Club where my grandad often called the bingo numbers. I’d really like to see if there are any members of the Kerry family out there, and to that end
  5. My nan, Doris, was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (nee Wood) Kerry. John was associated with the Kerrys of poultry dealer/greengrocer fame, living for a time at least on Carlton Road. Sadly my nan passed away many years ago, and it’s only in the last 12 months that I’ve started to look into her family, particularly her three brothers - all killed in action during WW2. Richard Kerry (born 1918) married Dorothy Barnett 15 March 1941. He was in the RAF and died 18 August 1942 when his aircraft was shot down. John Kerry (born 1907) married Gladys Chapman(?), probably in 1931.
