Henry Sym was born in approximately 1714 in Widdrington or Woodhorn, Northumberland. I don't know who his parents were. In about 1739 Henry marries a woman named Jane (maiden name unknown) and they go on to have at least four children; John (b.1740), Dorothy (b.1745), Jane (b.1747) and Henry (b.1750). I don't know Henry's occupation or when either he or Jane died. |
