Great-Grandfather Jory

George Jory from Chacewater went to NZ in 1873, and married Jane Bowie of Edinburgh there, they had 4 children including my mother, so he is my great-grandfather. He was from a wrestling family, who were also brewers. My mother remembers that a whole beast (cow?) was said to have been put into the stout? in the brewery. One of his brothers went to South Africa. I wondered if there were any Jorys still living around Chacewater.
