Re: OURRY, Lewis (Grimwade p. 610, 761)
The original posting on Mr Ourry had several errors and has been replaced by this one , which, after further amendments is likely to be more correct.
Details from Trev , with amendments by Clive and Pat.
Louis Simon Ourry (1717-177) was also a goldsmith.
He was apprenticed to Augustine Courtauld, becoming free and entering his mark in London in 1740 (trading from New Street near Covent Garden).
His original will was made in 1777 and attested by John Malliet, Paul de Lamerie’s son-in-law. A codicil dated 8 May 1779 was added , very soon before his death, as the will was proved only two months later on 14 July 1779 at PCC. [TNA / PROB 11/1055/158 -Will of Lewis Ourry of Kinsale , County Cork
Louis Simon’s brother Paul Henry Ourry (1719-1783) was married to Charity Treby, eldest daughter of one of Paul de Lamerie’s great clients the Rt. Hon. George Treby MP (1727-1805). His toilet set by de Lamerie is in the Asmolean Museum, Oxford. Elizabeth Ourry would have been either Louis Simon’s wife (nee Mott, died 1786) or more probably his sister Elizabeth (1725-1811). She became Mrs Beuzeville on her marriage to the Rev. Samuel Beuzeville and in her will dated 1806 she directed `I give to my Grand daughter Mary Julia Lempriere a silver coffee pot with the gilted {sic} Server belonging to it…’ Mary Julia died later that year whereupon Mrs Beuzeville altered her will by codicil dated 24 December 1806 `I now dispose of the Legacy I had given to her in said will in the following manner I give to….my Grand daughter Caroline (Charity) the Silver Coffee pot with the Server…’(Public Record Office, PROB11/1520/107). Charity Lempriere survived until her own death on 13th June 1886, in the house of her Nephew Sir Robert George Wyndham Herbert KCB (1831-1905) at Ickleton, Cambridgeshire. By her will, eventually sworn at a little over £7600, her estate consisting of money, stocks and shares was divided equally between various nieces and nephews (Family Division, Somerset House).
