THE FAMILY OF FRANCIS W. TILBURY'S WIFE SARAH
![]() |
| Southampton, 1823 |
Urry, Dennis, Spain
Allen, Nicholls, Mapes
————————————
Hampshire, Essex, Surrey, London
In the 1881 UK Census an F.W. Tilbury is listed living in West Ham, Essex, with his wife S. Tilbury, his brother James Tilbury, a widowed mother A. Verry, and two sons W. & H.G. Dennis; F.W. Tilbury's occupation was 'Chief MS Steward P&O Coy'.
From the family:
"I believe William Urry b. 1818 married Ann Verry b. 1818."

Note by Caroline (siteholder): until November 2008 other researchers considered that William URRY m. 3Q 1840 (Southampton 7/234D) [?Ann WHEELER?], and there was a suggestion of an alternate name. Unfortunately my recent removal men repacked my boxes and I can't yet find the hard-drive which holds the information.... William's wife gives her p/dob as Fawley, 1811-16; the IGI lists: Anne WHEELER b. 14, Chr. 21, October 1810 Fawley, Hampshire (Father: John WHEELER, Mother: Elizabeth Upgood WHEELER) - but this must remain in doubt.
