Parents of Balfrys before 1820

Can anyone help by providing the names (and possibly dates) of the parents of the following Balfrys who lived in the area of Limerick, Ireland in the late 1700s and early 1800s? The name could have been spelled in any of several variants, but I will use "Balfry", Any information whether from old family records, or from oral histories will be extremely welcome.

1. William Balfry. born 1794, married Ellen Leonard in 25 April 1828, went to England and later emigrated to USA, ending in Holt, MO.
2. William Balfry, born probably between 1750 and 1760, married Mary Fitzmaurice in 1786. May have had son William b. 1780-90, who married Catherine Hickey and emigrated to Etna CA, USA.
3. George Balfry, born between 1760 and 1770, married Eleanor O'Donell. Remained in Ireland
4. William O'Mealy Balfry, born 1819, surveyor and schoolmaster, went to England, married Mary Ann Morday. Parents could have been Edmund (Ned) Balfry b, 1768 or an unidentified William.
