He took over his father's business, which he moved to what is now Wistaria, Western Road, Crediton, in about 1842, where he was living at the 1851 census.
He was still living at 114 St Lawrence Green, Western Road, Crediton at 1871 census, but the builders premises at the back had by then been pulled down to make way for the Grammar School, and the yard had moved to its site in Union Road. William Berry was at Union Road in Morris's 1870 Directory, but it is not clear if this was father, or son William Boddy Berry.
He was listed in Billings 1857 Directory as Builder, Western Road.
He was a gentleman, living in Western Road in Kellys 1866, and 1873 Directory. In 1878 the Harrods Directory referred to Mrs Berry in Western Road
The business won a countract to build and maintain 20 of the county's bridges, and to build stations at Crediton and Newton St Cyres. In fact the Berrys won a lot of lucrative railway work.
