Cork / Berry in Cork City 18th century
« on: Wednesday 28 June 06 13:02 BST (UK) »
I am searching for information on Kingsmill Berry of Cork City, and his family, especially did he have any children? A Son named Kingsmill?
below are copies of what I have found so far.
Kingsmill Berry is mentioned in the following entry from Richard Caulfield’s partial transcription of the Council Book of Cork: “5 June 1756. Ordered that …Kingsmill eldest son of Charles Berry, brewer, dec(eased) …be admitted freemen at large.”
I do not know if there are there any age requirements for admittance to becoming a Freeman? (One source I spoke with guessed Kingsmill would have been 21 years old for admittance, this would make this Kingsmill over 80 years old at the time of his daughterMary Ann’s birth in 1816.)
I have a marriage certificate from the GRO for Mary Ann (Berry) Thomas second marriage to Charles Bradbury on 8 Jan 1846 at Holy Trinity Church in Brompton, Middlesex, which listed her father as Kingsmill Berry, occupation esquire.
Mary Ann was born in 1816 in Barnet, Hertfordshire. She emigrated to USA in 1851 and died in 1865 in Illinois USA.
From a listing of Sheriffs and Mayors of Cork:
1773 Kingsmill Berry was one of the Sheriffs,
1797 Kingsmill Berry was Mayor
CORK 1798
Defenders & United Irishmen
From ‘The Insurrection of ’98,’ by Rev. P. F. Kavanagh, Cork, 1898
Notices & Reports from the 'Hibernian Chronicle,' with notes

CORK CITY 1756
A Brief Directory Based on Trade & Other Notices
Taken from the 'Corke Journal,' 1756
The Corke Journal of 1756 (publication began in 1753) is the earliest surviving Cork newspaper. The following is a brief directory of the city and district, based on selected notices and advertisements. Also includes notices where the location is not known.
CORKE JOURNAL 1756
CORKE: Printed by EUGENE SWINEY, at the Peacock in Cross-street Where SUBSCRIPTIONS are taken for this Paper, and ADVERTISEMENTS (for ready Money) with all manner of Printing Work done at the most reasonable Rates.
BERRY, CATHERINE, House to let in Hanover St. built by the late Mr. Charles Berry, (CJ 1/1/1756) (In the Freeman reference of 5 June 1756 for Kingsmill his father is named Charles recently deceased.)
Death of 'Mrs Berry, mother of Kingsmill Berry Esq' on 16th August 1769 from Cork city library.
So I am continuing my search for any more references to a Kingsmill Berry and his family.
Thank you for reading through this post.
