I have been trying to find my Gt Grandfather William Crye born 1860 USA and his father John Crye who we now believe born 1796. This is the same family that Gillian Gilbert is researching. I have been given information that both father and son were merchant marines. If you can help I would be grateful. Pam

My grandmother was Vesta Beulah Cry, her father was Timothy Titus Cry, (son of Jonathon Crye, son of William Crye from the Isle of Mann, son of John Crye from the Isle of Mann and so on. I don't know why but Jonathon's children changed the name to Cry, and it was used in my family after that. I have some info back to 1589. I am interested in expanding my family file. Please email if you are interesed in sharing or seek information that I can help with.

Mary Ellen,
If you could shed some light on this family, it would be great. I do have a little info on the family but not much. Almost everyone who could tell me anything has either passed away or is not able to remember the info any longer. My Cry died in TX. Her first husband died in 1909. She didn't want or couldn't cope with raising their four children & the family was split up. Her sister actually raised my grandmother. I also have some questions about the family & possible spouses that maybe you will be able to clear up such as intermarriage between a couple of families again & again. Also, if you respond to this e-mail, please do so at
