After the our Corry Book was published, we found correct birth records for the children of George Corry and Margaret Cole. The records at the beginning of the Corry Book are the early records which were just estimates. Here are the dates for the family of George Corry and Margaret Cole as found in the St. James, Westminster Parish register records. George and Margaret were married
2 September 1790
1. William Henry Corry, October 1796. No further information
2. Isaac Corry, 31 January 1800 - 15 August 1881
3. Thomas Corry, 2 January 1802 - 26 March 1863
4. Charlotte Corry (McLellan), 21 August 1804 - 28 February 1859
5. George Corry, 25 October 1807 - 28 April 1875
6. Henry Corry, 22 April 1810 - no death date, but by the 1880 Census, his wife was a widow.
(Henry's entry in the Parish Records is a little suspect, but I think it is our Henry. The entry lists the father as Henry Corry and the mother as Margaret Cole. I feel that the person making the record mistakenly put Henry as the father's name (which would be reasonable since the child's name is Henry) rather than the correct name of George. There is no other birth entry for Henry Corry in the records and no other record with Henry Corry and Margaret Cole--they are all George Corry and Margaret Cole.
7. Charles Corry, 1812 (christened 17 April 1814). Charles is listed with the family in the 1819 military settlement census in Bathurst, Lanark, Ontario, after the family immigrated to Canada, but that is the last we can find of him.
