Title: Murphy - Berry Family Wexford Town
Post by: debi1958 on Saturday 29 May 10 11:04 BST (UK)
First time user - so hope I am doing this right.  Looking for any info on Murphy / Berry connection. Thomas (GG) had son Michael 1908 (siblings John, Kitty (Katherine?) +  .Michael married Kathleen Berry (b 1915-86) her father was Patrick and siblings Molly (Mary?) John, Briody (?) Her mother then married someone Smith - so assume no such thing as RC divorce back then that Patrick died sometime after 1915. Half siblings Michael, Madge (? Margaret) . Michael & kathleen lived in Gulbar Rd Wexford Town and children went to St bridgets national school.  Any advice as to info on Patrick Berry & Thomas Murphy would be appreciated

Welcome to Rootschat. Could this be the Murphy family in 1911 census?

Thanks - alot seems to match especially siblings if kitty short for cathern and michaels 1st born was named mary (after mother?) but as census took place in April and michael would have only been 2 at that time - i am not sure. of course the absolute accuracy could never be confirmed on census forms.

This family I am interested in.
I think this Ellen was a Sheehan
In regards to Patrick Berry disapearing after 1915, if you remember there was a world war occuring at that time and there is a Patrick Berry listed in " The Wexford War Dead " by Tom Burnell and Margaret Gilbert. Died of war wounds 8th dec 1917, leaves behind a wife and four children.  His brother Richard was killed 4 months ago 20 Aug 1917 age 23, son of John and Mary Berry, husband of Ellen who remarried  and became a Donohoe.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Post by: shorts on Sunday 13 February 11 11:40 GMT (UK)
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.

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.

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.

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Wexford/Castle_Talbot/Crosshue/

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.

......

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.

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.

Hi
Can you help, I have a old photo of my great grandfather Nicolas Berry ŵho was a member of the Loch Garman silver band, the picture was taken in 1938. My grand mothers name was Bridget Berry, I have found the records of Nicholas Berry and Catherine Sheehan, and a photo of a head stone in Crosstown cemetery but the headstone also says Bridget, however my Grand mother Bridget died just 9 years ago and is laid  to rest in England.
According to the records Keyser Lane is also mentioned, aim a bit confused as a current member of the Loch Garman says he has a picture of band members laying a wreath on my great grandfathers grave in Crosstown.
Was there more than one Nicholas Berry with a daughter called Bridget, my Gran said her mother died at a early age aim not sure if my Grans mother was called Catherine, it does ring a bell somewhere in my mind.

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.

Some further info on Patrick Berry  - Source: Military service record (crown copyright)

Patrick Berry attested for “Short Service” (8 years plus 4 in the reserves) and enlisted at Carrick-on-Suir on 22nd January 1898, joining the Royal Irish Regiment (No 6270).

Details on enlistment: – Age: 19, trade: Labourer, Name & Address of next of kin:

Mother: Mary, Back Street, Wexford
Brother: (younger) Richard
Sisters: Mary, Catherine

Postings:

Home: 22/01/1898 to 04/10/1899
India: 05/10/1899 to 08/02/1903
S.Africa: 09/02/1903 to 10/02/1905
India: 11/02/1905 to 24/01/1906
Home: 25/01/1906 to 21/01/1910

After 8 years service he transferred on 25th January 1906 to the Army Reserve.

After a further 4 years he was discharged on termination of his first period of limited engagement on 21st January 1910.

Thanks Shorts

I am thinking this Patrick has to be mine.  I note Richard Berry as being his brother (who also died in WW1) and that this is the Richard who married a Sheehan.  As noted on the marriage cert his father John Berry was deceased yet on James's he is listed as residing in olyegate. It appears there were 2 John Berry's - Richards perhaps being the John Berry that died c1898.  On the 1901 census he was listed with his mother Mary Kearney (1911 census spelt Carney) and listed as stepson to John Kearney.  Also he lists mother as Mary Carney on his WWi records.  Possibly related to the other Berry boys who married Sheehans but not their brother. Thanks everyone for their imput - managing to get a lot of information and hopefully in the end will be able to tie it all together.

Hi There,

I am looking for a Patrick Henry Berry who was born in either Wexford county or Waterford county (Almost certainly Wexford county) abt 1888.

He was married as 'Patrick Berry' in 1916 in Poole, Dorset, England.

I can't find him in any of the censuses (England or Ireland) so any information prior to 1916 would be greatly appreciated.

If he is in the 1901 and 1911 Irish census more details will help spot him-

What was his father's name and occupation on the 1916 marriage certificate? (might be easier to find father in Irish census records)

Did he serve in WWI? (there may be records which will give a more exact birth date and location in Ireland)

Hi.  I am related to the Berry's of 6 Sinnott Lane.  John Berry was my great grandfather who married a Barbara Doran of New Ross. John had brothers Paddy and Jerry who I have photo's of.  They are buried together in Crosstown.  In the 1940's Paddy was famous for playing the accordian in Wexford.
My Great Grandfather John had a son called Andy Berry who was my grandad. If there is anyone who has more info on this Berry family I would be most grateful. James, Ellen and Annie I know nothing about. Thank you.

Hi

My Andy Berry was from Stonebridge Lane but related to the Berry's in Keysers Lane.  On the 1911 census he is aged 4  but has sisters called Catherine, Johanna and Ann.  Don't know what happened to his sisters as too many Berry's with the same names and confusing.  His mother Barbara died in 1930 aged 30 and she was murdered.  I knew this but since found an article on the Wexford Hub.  I just googled her name and it popped up.  It also said she had 6 children so obviously had another 2 after the 1911 census.

Yes she died in 1916 in the Wexford Workhouse infirmary leaving 6 children. My grandad Andy Berry being one of them. The woman who killed her got 18 months in prison. Don't know what happened to the other 5 children.

Hi
Can you help, I have a old photo of my great grandfather Nicolas Berry ŵho was a member of the Loch Garman silver band, the picture was taken in 1938. My grand mothers name was Bridget Berry, I have found the records of Nicholas Berry and Catherine Sheehan, and a photo of a head stone in Crosstown cemetery but the headstone also says Bridget, however my Grand mother Bridget died just 9 years ago and is laid  to rest in England.
According to the records Keyser Lane is also mentioned, aim a bit confused as a current member of the Loch Garman says he has a picture of band members laying a wreath on my great grandfathers grave in Crosstown.
Was there more than one Nicholas Berry with a daughter called Bridget, my Gran said her mother died at a early age aim not sure if my Grans mother was called Catherine, it does ring a bell somewhere in my mind.

the catherine you mention is possible catherine browne, and on my tree i have a few nicholas and bridget berrys, all from keysers lane wexford, a few brothers (berrys) married a few sisters (sheehans) if you think this is the same family, i have a good bit of info on them and will send onto you.

It also said she had 6 children so obviously had another 2 after the 1911 census.

After over 10 years of research I believe I have solved the mystery of so many Johns, Edwards and Nicholas's Berry of Keysers Lane.  My GGG grandfather John Berry (circa 1820) married 3 times and fathered many children.  His fathers name was Edward. 
His first marriage to Bridget Mangan in 1847 produced several children including John Berry who married Kate Browne in 1876.
After the death of Bridget at the approx age of 52 (1876) he married Anne Reville (aged 18 !) who gave birth to William and died either from childbirth or shortly thereafter.  William went on to marry Ann Kelly in 1903.
In the same year as his second wife's death he remarried again -Mary Roche and fathered at least 4 children.  This included my gg grandfather Patrick who died in WW1. Patricks brother Richard married a Sheehan and Patrick married Ellen Browne.  So it appears many of the Berry Boys married into the Sheehan and Browne families .

Due to the huge age differences of all of John Berrys children it was difficult to work out how they all related to each other - but thanks to an Ancestry member providing the information I was able to sort it all out.  It seems the names John, Edward, Patrick all came from the paternal side and Nicholas was from the maternal side (Browne and Sheehan) . Hope this helps
