My great great grandparents were Walter Merry (b. 1846) and Alice Rigby (b. 1852) and they were married in Slieverue in April 1873. Their children were Mary (b.1874), Kate (b.1876, d.1883), James (b.1877), Anastasia (b.1879), Stephen (b.1882), Margaret (b.1887), Walter (b.1889), Thomas (b.1890), Alice (b.1892), Edward (b.1894), Kate (b.1896) and Richard (b.1897). This large family was raised in Ballincrea, County Kilkenny.
My great grandmother was Alice Merry.
There must be hundreds of Merry descendants out there now

Any information will be much appreciated.
