Nigel:

I am another descendant of John Colbrook Bury. Rowena Hurst asked me to reply to you.

At the present time we know a; great deal about john Colbrook Bury and his descendants and some about both of his wives. We have a little information regarding his father and his siblings, but little more. There is to my knowledge no information about his mother or her family which could be the Colbrook connection or it could be somewhere in his fathers line, which we have not been able to uncover as yet. If you read Rowena's previous post we know that his father was an Officer in the British Army and he had an older brother who was an officer in the Army as well. I don't know if there is any way of tracking either of them through British military records? I wish I could help you more, and would be interested if you came across any connection between the Colbrook family and the Bury family
