Berry's in Listowel in 1911

[jaylay]

Hi Lissa

Did you know that the 1911 census for Kerry is now online and free to view - could this be your family?  They are living in Charles St.,  Listowel.

How exciting to have found a cousin through Rootschat!  Good luck with your research

Hi JayLay,   Long time since we've spoken!   How have your searches been going  

Thank you so much for the 1911 Kerry Census.  I did not know that Kerry was available --  I looked a while ago (can't remember when exactly) and didn't find it and hadn't checked back .   Yes,  that certainly could be the son John and his family.  On the passenger manifest he lists his contact in Listowel as his wife "Mrs. K. Berry"  so that could be Kate  and with a dau Theresa and a son "Jack" as well...... there is another set of grandchildren in the US with the same names! 

Yes!!  it is so exciting to be finding out about the New Zealand connection and (at long last)  more information about the Irish relatives.  I had pretty much considered it a lost cause !!   

Really appreciate your help with the Kerry census!!

KGW,  just sent you a PM.   Let me know if you have received it.

JayLay --  that 1911 Irish Census is a bit tricky!!  I was trying to duplicate your findings (in order to learn)   ...   and did --  finally!!!  but had to do it the "hard way".    Just with" Kerry"  and  "Listowel"  --   lucky thing it was a "B" name and got to Berry quickly!     When I tried w/ more info got few hits and none were the right ones.   Tks!

Hi Lissa,I am getting the hang of this i think,pm to you done as test too.kgw

[murphy60]

I got you PM!!  And have replied just a few mins ago.    You're getting the hang of it just fine!  It's very convenient because we are both in our relative "real time".

Did you open JayLay's 1911 census finding for John Berry in Listowel ??   I think this maybe the son that took Anna Sr. to join Anna Jr. in the US in 1909.

Hi Lissa

Yes it's nice to be able to help you - you have been such a help to me with my US searches!

So glad you have made your connection with kgw - I really hope you can break down lots of brick walls together.   The 1911 census is searchable by surname, as well as by county.  You have probably got the hang of it by now, but if you go to the search page of the census
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
you will see what I mean.  You can also read detailed info on what life was like in Kerry in 1911 on the National Archives website - very interesting and a bit of an eye-opener.
