Welcome to Rootschat  :)

You may have these records but they will hopefully help others to search for your family.

I can see a transcription of 1881 census - Govan.
Patrick and Mary Berry with children,
Martin 13 yrs
Michael 7 yrs.
Is that your family?

There is this birth which looks positive:
Michael Berry, 1873, Clifden district. Parents Patrick Berry and Mary Murray

The residence is possibly Coolacloy

If you use Ancestry you may have already seen the reference to Lawrence Berry in the Famine Relief Papers.
He is mentioned in a letter from John D’Arcy Esq. Secretary of the Relief Committee
Lawrence Berry
“He is a labouring man …having a wife and eight children is subsisting for the last three weeks on two quarts of meal per day.”

Thank you Patrick & Mary are indeed my 2xGGP Laurence/Larry is 3rd GGF this is where my tree hits brick wall I can’t find anything on Laurence/Larry Patrick Mary moved to Glasgow Scotland around 1875 I was born raised in Govan Glasgow so this is definitely the correct linage Patrick died 1897 as did their son Micheal they both died with TB Mary lived till 1916 she died few weeks after ny grandfather Patrick was born
