John & Ann Jary. And John & Ann Jary.
Two headstones lie in St Margaret’s churchyard in Cley-Next-the-Sea, each shared by a husband & wife. Both husbands were named John Jary; both wives were named Ann. The two John Jarys were born approximately 20 years apart.
Headstone of John (d1821) & Ann Jary (d1823)
One of the headstones also memorialises a Mary Ann Jary, and there are other tombstones nearby which appear to be related to these stones.
The attached file contains our research about the people who are memorialised in these stones, and how they were related to one another.

Having looked at the summary of the family of John and Ann(Whittaker?) Jary, it seems highly unlikely that John Jary---baptised 1767,--- was the father of a Jacob Jary baptised in 1779---John was only 12 yrs old!!!!!
Far more likely is that this Jacob, was the son of the Jacob Jary who was baptised at Blakeney, 23 June 1751, and thus would be the grandson of William and Elizabeth (Sherey) Jary!
Another puzzle (for me at least) is Susan Starling( 1841 Blakeney Census.
You comment that this is the daughter of John and Ann --Southgate--Jary,
who married Henry Starling.
However in the story of the two John Jarys and two Anns, the Summary of the children of John Jary and Ann Savage shows Susannah as "Butters"!
Was Susannah twice married, and if so, who came first--Butters or Starling?
Before marriage( answering my own question in previous response) Susannah had son William.( he was 15 at 1841 Census) Either Butters or Starling could have been Williams father.
Additional to my previous observation---the gap between Susan "Starlings" children Thomas and Ann---11 years--- would also seem to indicate two marriages.
A pity the '41 Census doesn't clarify the surnames of the children!
Hi Bob,
This is where we can thank these wonderful ancestors for giving their children the same names generation after generation! If I've deciphered everything correctly, here's how it goes:
John Jary (bap 1767) was the brother of Jacob (bap 1779), and the father of Jacob (bap 1791).
John (bap 1767) and Jacob (bap 1779) were the sons of John (bap 1744) & Ann Savage Jary.
John (bap 1744) was the son of William & Elizabeth Jary (who also had a son named Jacob; bap 1751)
Hope this makes more sense!
Kind regards,
Carol
Hi Bob,
My table layout may not have been the best choice of presentation of the data, and I apologise if it led to confusion.
In the notes under the census table, I refer to Susan Starling as probably having been the Susannah Jary who was the daughter of John Jary (bap 1767; Stiffkey) and Ann Whitaker. Susannah was baptised in Morston on 30 Jul 1803. (That, of course, leads to the question of her being listed as 30 years old in 1841, but they were supposed to round to the nearest 5 years on the 1841 census, I think ... and she may have been a little "younger" that day, too.)
The Susannah Jary (bap 1784; Cley) who married Benjamin Butters in 1815 was the daughter of John Jary (bap 1744; Stiffkey) & Ann Savage.
John & Ann Savage Jary also had a son, John (of course!) baptised 1767; Stiffkey, who married Ann Whitaker. And THEY, in turn, had a son, John (bap 1800; Morston), who I believe was the John Jary who married Peggy Baines in Blakeney in 1823. I suspect that the William Jary enumerated in Susan Starling's household was their son, William Richard Shephard Jary, born 2 Oct 1823 in Blakeney. If I've got my generations straight, he would have been Susan Jary Starling's grand-nephew.
I think I need a chart of these generations; it took me an hour to go back through my file & figure this out - it is so confusing.
Regards,
C
