Berry connections
All of the Berry family seem to have come from Boughton-under-Blean and its surrounding
villages. Our earliest known member of this
family, Thomas, was Baptised in Selling, just a couple of
miles from Boughton.
Passing down now through four generations to
Thomas's 2 x Great grandson, another Thomas, was
baptised in 1746 and married Elizabeth Coverlid
in 1775 in Boughton-under-Blean. Thomas and
Elizabeth had Sarah in 1781 who married Thomas
Amos from Hinxhill.

My Amos family,
Thomas and Sarah appear to have had the travel bug. Having
married in Hinxhill a few miles north of Ashford, they had moved
to Halling [north of Maidstone] by 1808, where they stayed for
about 10 years. Their ninth child, George was born in Mersham in
1820, a few miles east of Ashford.
Sometime around
1835, Thomas and Sarah,
decided that they should make a
move again with their family, out of the county of Kent to a new life
in Ramsden Crays, Essex.
The move to Essex
The high speed rail link [Eurostar], from Paris and Brussels to
London
now flashes through the village of Mersham.
Our ancestors would receive quite a
shock if they were to return now !
