John Parris and Martha Kent

Were Terry's 3xGreat Grandparents

John was born about 1784 in Bermondsey, Surrey - now part of the London Borough of Southwark in south east London.

John and Martha were married 24 May 1812 at St Mary Newington, Southwark.

John was a fellmonger by trade and they lived in the Lamb Alley and Long Walk of Bermondsey; the area which is now known as the Leather Market and is quite affluent but in the ninteenth century was very working class with a lot of tanneries which would have produced a lot of unpleasant effluent!

John died in 1831 and Martha in 1838.
