TERREY, John Edward (Grimwade p.679)

[MCB]

He entered a maker's mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1814 from Foster Lane in partnership with Samuel Hennell and 1816 alone at the same address.
Christening records for two sons at St John, Hackney in 1816 and 1817 show their mother as Susannah Hennell, their address as Clapton Fields and their father John Edward Terrey as first a merchant and then as a gentleman.
He notified Goldsmiths Hall in 1818 that he had changed his address to Hatton Gardens.
A further six christenings of children of John Edward and Susannah Hennell Terrey at St Andrew, Holborn 1819-31 show their address as Hatton Gardens and their father as a merchant.
The same information as to address and father’s occupation is shown on the christening records of a further two children at St Giles in the Fields in 1833 and for two further children back at St Andrews in 1836-37.
The 1841 UK Census and his daughter Susannah Elizabeth’s marriage record in 1842 show him as a silversmith at Hatton Garden.
By 1851 he had moved to Sydenham, Lewisham in Kent.
The England & Wales Deaths Index for the Lewisham register shows his death in 1859. The website records do not show his last address.
John Edward Terry is also mentioned in the Forum Contributors Notes relating to R Hobbs & Son Silversmiths and Electroplaters.

It seems the ending of the partnership with Samuel Hemming was acrimonious. The front page of The Times newspaper of 4th July 1816 carried the following notice:
Samuel Hennell, working silversmith, requests his friends in the trade who favour him with their orders to enquire for him personally and to direct orders in his name alone to 11 Foster Lane.
