There is focus today on the wedding of Prince William and Princess Katherine at Westminster Abbey in London. Our George Corry and Margaret Cole were married at St. George Hanover Square and the children (William Henry, Isaac, Thomas, Charlotte, George, Henry and Charles) were born at St. James Piccadilly Parish in Westminster, all of which is in close vicinity to today's "goings on." The commentary speaks of "The Mall" which apparently borders St. James Parish.
The following site (http://partleton.co.uk/Benjamin1774a.htm) was prepared by someone concerning their ancestor, but mentions the places, with pictures, where our family lived and carried out their lives before emigrating to Canada in 1817.
From a previous blog entry: "The first documented record of George Corry tells of his joining the First Life Guards. . "A Trooper George Curry [Corry] enlisted on 21 July 1790 and served at Hyde Park Barracks continuously until 24 October 1802 on which later date he was discharged presumable in consequence of the outbreak of peace by the Treaty of America when the army was drastically reduced."
"George Corry and Margaret Cole were married on 2 September 1790, at St. George, Hanover Square (1), in London, England. The record is as follows:
St. George Hanover Square, Westminster
Date: 2 September 180, after banns
Name: George Curry, this parish
Name of Bride: Margaret Cole, this parish
Signatures: George Corry
Mark x of Margaret Cole
"The next record for George and Margaret is in St. James Parish (2) which borders the St. George Hanover Square Parish. This was apparently their home during the years their children were born. The birth records for their children are found in the St. James Parish birth register (see family group record).
(1) ST. GEORGE HANOVER SQUARE, a parish in the city of Westminster, county Middlesex."
(2) St. James is an area of central London in the City of Westminster. It is bounded to the north by Piccadilly, to the west by Green Park, to the south by The Mall and St. James’ Park and to the east by The Hay Market.

OUR CORRY RELATIVES (continued from 22 March 2011 installment)
Four younger sons of Isaac and Jean Ritchie Corry (William, Ritchie, Robert and Henry), moved from Ontario and obtained land in Minnesota where they settled.
William, the oldest of these four, was born in 1828 at Bathurst, Lanark County, Ontario. He was married to Margaret Elizabeth Kirkman about 1850 in Bathurst. Their first two children, Isaac William and Grace, were born in Lanark County before the family moved to Minnesota. The last two children, Jane Ann and Williamine were born in Wabasha County, Minnesota.
Williams’s time in Minnesota was very short. He died in 1862 in West Albany, Wabasha, Minnesota which was the same year that his youngest child, Williamine, was born. After William’s death, his wife, Margaret Elizabeth, was married to James Munro. She raised her children in Wabasha County, Minnesota. Williams’s oldest son, Isaac William, and his wife and children settled in Wyoming where Isaac likely died. Isaac's wife and their two sons moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where they settled.
Next was Ritchie who was born in 1830 at Bathurst. He was married to Margaret Jane Jamieson in 1854 at Perth, Lanark County, Ontario. Their first child, Thomas Henry, was born in 1856 in Lanark County before they moved to Minnesota. Their other two children, Orpha and Margaret, were born in Wabasha County, Minnesota. Ritchie’s time in Minnesota also was very short. He died in 1863 in West Albany, Wabasha, Minnesota, which was the same year as the birth of his youngest child. Ritchie’s wife, Margaret Jane, returned to Canada to her home area of Carleton County, Ontario where she raised her three children.
Robert Corry was born in 1832 at Bathurst. He was married to Isabella Maria Nichol in 1862 in Lanark County, Ontario. Their only child, Isabella Maria, was born in 1863 in Lanark County. The family then moved to Minnesota with Robert’s brothers. Robert’s wife, Isabella, died in Lake City, Wabasha County, Minnesota in 1865. Robert died two years later in 1867 in Wabasha County, leaving their daughter, Isabella Maria, a four-year old orphan. She returned to Lanark County, Ontario, where she lived with her maternal grandmother until her marriage in 1888 to James Lindsay. She was the mother of six children and died in 1921.
Isaac Corry’s youngest son, Henry, was the only one to survive (for a little longer at least) life in Minnesota. He was born in 1838 in Lanark County, Ontario. He was married to Elizabeth Kirkman (who was a sister to Margaret Elizabeth Kirkman, wife of Henry’s older brother, William) in about 1858. Their oldest child, Isaac J. was born in Lanark County, Ontario, in 1859. Their other three children were born in Wabasha County, Minnesota—William Henry, Grace MacFarlane and Robert Ritchie.
Sometime between 1880 and 1885, Henry, Elizabeth and their family moved to Traill County, North Dakota, where Henry lived for the remainder of his life. He died at the age of 52 years at Reynolds, Traill County, North Dakota, in March 1894. Henry’s children moved further west and settled in Pondera County, Montana. Elizabeth lived with her son, Isaac, and died in 1915 in Pondera County, Montana.
William, the oldest of these four, was born in 1828 at Bathurst, Lanark County, Ontario. He was married to Margaret Elizabeth Kirkman about 1850 in Bathurst.
