Hi there

Please note that they're not 'Certificate's' but entries in the Church Parish register.

I do have a copy of an entry for one of Edward & Mary's children: Edward Berry b 27/04/1925. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the page that records the Godparents/Sponsor etc.

Its amazing the information that is out there. Edward and Mary's children were James, Edward, Katie and Bridgie.

Thanks Shorts

There’s something odd about the 1901 census record for the Sheehan family. They’re recorded in the Townland of Crosshue after dwelling number 11 but with a strange house number of ‘1000’. However there are only 11 habited dwellings listed in the Enumerators forms N1, B1 & B2 with no mention of the Sheehan’s.

Records seem to indicate that the family lived in Wexford Town around the turn of the century. Two of the familys' children's bapt records indicates this:

28/01/1894 - resident in the Cornmarket – Ellen Sheehan’s baptism record below.

08/10/1896 – resident in Keysers Lane – Thomas Sheehan’s Bap record below

04/01/1909 - when Mary Sheehan married Edward Berry Thomas Sheehan (father) was noted as still living in Keysers Lane.

Does the name Patrick Berry appear to be mentioned in these records? His children John, Bridie (Bridget?) Mary & Kathleen.  I know he died before 1919.

As posted earlier in this thread Patrick Berry married in 1906 & died in 1917. It looks therefore like he remained in the Keysers lane area during this period and if so it's almost certain that the baptism records for his 4 children will be recorded in the Rowe St church baptism register. The register can be viewed in the sacristy office alongside the church. Other than the odd page I don't have any bapt records for this period.
