His age on the burial (12 May 1846) is 75, according to Lancashire OPC, so he would be born about 1770-1 if that is correct.

[kiterunner]

And just so we have the information on this thread, the 1841 census states he was born in Lancashire.

There is a tree on ancestry that shows his father as Thomas Savory 1743 - 1805 but it doesn't show how they make the connection between the two as there is no baptism shown for Robert.

Not sure how common the name Savery is............but there were a few who were solicitors in and around Bristol in the early 1800s.

I've seen them in quite a few Ariel papers.

The name Savory seems to go back quite a way in Warrington.

Ladies, thanks for your replies and interest.

Ammanda, I'm not sure about Robert married to an Ellen though my only reasoning is that there is no record of the name Ellen being repeated in later generations. The Savory family names I’ve seen tended to be very repetitive.
It's certainly possible...?!

I agree with the second one re Robert's marriage to Peggy - Margaret and Peggy were interchangeable names and I remember seeing that name elsewhere.

Kite, yes, there are a couple of trees on Ancestry that suggest Thomas as Robert's father though as my subs ran out some months ago I've not revisited them recently. If I remember correctly there was no source given.

My MFMF was Thomas Savory born Warringtom 1806, parents Robert and Margaret so it would be probable his name followed the family pattern. The 1841 census shows Robert’s wife as a Mary Ann but I think that could also be read as Margaret.
I must go back to LPC as I missed the age on Robert's death/burial.

Libby, although the spelling varies I've seen Savory used more consistently and they were definitely from Warrington, all employed as mill/ cotton workers. Warrington was also on the marriage cert when Thomas's daughter Sarah, my g–grandmother, married in Manchester in 1858.

Boy, you are right about the Savory family in Warrington. A quick browse show them back to 1695. How nice to have them stacked up in one place and not gallivanting all over the world.

Ammanda, without sidetracking you, just wanted to mention there are a good number of Saverys in the U.S. concentrated mostly in the old seafaring towns of the northeast, especially the Boston area and Cape Cod. (I knew one, and actually he was a sailor himself.) Also, in searching I found not only Warrington in the U.K. but another Warrington in the state of Pennsylvania. It's up the Delaware River from Philadelphia just as your Warrington is up the Mersey from Liverpool. And Warrington, PA is 6 miles from a town called "New Britain"! Interesting.
