    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    I know you posted earlier but we had so many messages on May 2nd, we are backed up responding. As you likely know, the  records for the RC parish start in 1853. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/1070

    I had a look at the 1855 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Kilcummin civil parish and it showed an Edmond, Edward and Patrick Berry on Lettermullan Island.

    I found John and Mary Berry and children in the 1901 census but not in 1911. Had they emigrated?

    I was unable to find a baptismal record for John Berry but located two Mary Berry records in Carraroe parish, one in 1857 and the other in 1854. I assume the 1857 is correct?

    Let me know if you have questions.

  • Thank you Roger !  By 1902 both parents had died, that's why no 1911 census. The children were split up. I do believe I may have been researching the wrong Mary Berry from 1850's. The one record you located sounds more accurate.     I was researching July 7 1858 Clifden,Knockavally,  Galway, Ireland. But the names on your Mar 24 1857 might be the correct one???     Always more questions????    Thank you very much.
