Berry in Coldridge area - Coldridge
I am researching BERRY (aka sometimes as BARRY until mid 1800's)in the Coldridge/Lapford/ Zeal Monachorum region. I have hit a brick wall with Job BERRY (BARRY) who married Temperance SOWDEN at Lapford on 19 Sept 1775 before moving to Coldridge and having 7 children, James, Ann, Temperance, Job, Jane, Joanna & William. James (named as BERRY) married Ann COOK of Zeal Monachorum in March 1813 at Coldridge. I cannot find any trace of Job before his marriage in 1775. Although he married as Job I suppose his name could have actually been something else such as John as John became a popular name in the family after 1800. Any help, pointers or suggestions would be appreciated.
