Murphy - Berry Family Wexford Town

[familysearch2011]

hi,
The headstone inscription of Nicky and Catherine Berry nee Sheehan are my relations.
What i have been told is that 3 Sheehan sisters married 3 Berry brothers.
1 the above
2. Edward married Mary Sheehan
3. Not sure of but it could be Helen, who could also been the Ellen who married to Patrick.

There seems to be a lot of confusion with these Berry's and Kyser Lane.
Also include are Fenlon, Gogging, Byrne.

Hi
I am fairly new to all of this as well. I havnt gone any further back than Patrick with any great certainty.  My Patrick lived in 9 Keyers Lane in 1911 married to Ellen Berry (maiden name Browne) When Kathleen was born in 1915 they lived in Back Street, then Patrick went off to war and died in 1917.  References in war news mention another brother Richard who also died in WW11 but his parents are named John and Mary.  I had no idea that Berry was such a popular name in Wexford so I am having difficulty confirming Patricks parents.

Patrick Berry married an Ellen Brown on 23 July 1906 - see the parish register entry below wich confirms Patrick's father was John Berry of Keysers lane.

Parish  records seem to indicate that there were in fact four Berry – Sheehan marriages.

04/01/1909:  Edward Berry = Mary Sheehan (parish record below: Witness Bridget Berry - sibling?)

27/09/1909:  Nicholas Berry = Catherine (Kate) Sheehan (parish record post to follow)

16/08/1914:  Richard Berry = Ellen Sheehan (parish record post to follow)

06/02/1918: James Berry = Jane Sheehan (parish record post to follow)

In each case John Berry is stated as the Groome’s father and Thomas Sheehan the Bride’s.

27/09/1909:  Nicholas Berry = Catherine (Kate) Sheehan

Edward Berry & Ellen Sheehan are the witnesses (both siblings?)

[shorts]

16/08/1914:  Richard Berry = Ellen Sheehan

Note: Ellen's father Thomas Sheehan is resident in Ballylucas. Also the witnesses, Thomas & Jane Sheehan (siblings?), are resident in Ballylucas.

Ballylucas is where Ellen (Helen), Thomas and Jane appear to have been living when the 1911 census was taken.
