Hi. First time on here but there appears to be some similarities with my search of the berry family in wexford.
My great great grandfather was John Berry who also turns up in the 1911 census as living in Keysers Lane wexford. He had a son Nicholas who also served in the Boer War. When tracing John's wife Kate it turns out that her mother was Eliza Murphy who was married to Nicholas Browne. I wonder if Nicholas and Patrick were cousins?
My grandmother told me that the berry family all came from keyers lane.
my cousin is married to a byrne, could you private msg me to check to see if we are related, my cousins name is betty byrne, i am so interested in everything on here, its amazing how many berrys were in keysers lane, i would love to stay in wexford for a month to visit the churches and registry offices etc, it would be so interesting,

shorts,
i can't thank you enough for posting the above certs and photographs. The girls are all sisters of my grandmother Johanna. With this thread I have also made contact with a cousin who gr grandmother was Mary Sheehan who married Edward Berry.
Thank you for your help

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.

these certificates have left me even more confused, i think i am going to have to go deeper into registry details, see my dad was edward berry, born in keysers lane, thing is he was born in june 1922 and this date of birth is april, unless there were two edward berrys , which im sure is possible, when you were researching and came across these entries, did you happen to notice any others for edward berry and if so would you be so kind as to send me a link or any means of researching them , thanks x

.....
edward berry, born in keysers lane, thing is he was born in june 1922 and this date of birth is april, unless there were two edward berrys
......

There's a possible match on the civil BMD Index for an Edward Berry in 1922 :

 Name: Edward Berry
 Registration district:   Wexford
 Event type:   BIRTHS
 Quarter and year:   Apr - Jun 1922
 Volume :   4 / Page : 572

A cert would give you parents names, address etc

Do you have a marriage cert for Edward ?
This would give you his father's name and occupation and allow you to verifiy any birth certs.

see :

  Introduction to Irish Records
 
  Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon

  Details included on a Marriage Cert
  Details included on a Birth Cert

Hi there

If your GF & GM were Edward & Mary Berry (nee Sheehan) then I would hazard a guess that the Parish register entry is correct.  The only way to be certain of the correct DOB though is to check your Father's Birth Cert.

The key primary research sources for births are official certs, parish registers plus old newspapers and I'm not aware of any links to this material.
