- James Berry was the son of Daniel Berry, a wool-stapler, and of Mary Ann née Kelley (Evans, p. 2). On 6 April 1874, at Horton, Bradford, he was married to Sarah Ann Ackroyd, daughter of John Ackroyd, a wool-comber (Evans p.11f). The 1881 British Census showed Berry and Sarah living at Horton with two sons: Herbert (5) and Luther (6). "It would appear that two infants had already died." (Evans, p. 16) Data from: Evans, Stewart P., Executioner. The Chronicles of James Berry, Victorian Hangman, Sutton Publishing (2004).--Kauko56 18:58, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
