Barry/McCarthy Family Midleton/Churchtown, Cork
Below I post for the nth time my information on my Barry/McCarthy family of Midleton/Churchtown Cork, Ireland .
I have been trying for many years to make a connection with descendants of this family.
Some stayed in Ireland and no doubt, some like my Great grandfather Garrett Barry emigrated - he went to Australia, others probably went to North America etc.
I find it hard to believe that given the detail I have listed that eventually someone won't make a connection.
BARRY/McCARTHY - MIDLETON, CORK My gx2 grandfather was a shoemaker, Patrick Barry b.1803, living and working at 51 Main St Midleton in the 1840s and 1850s. My 2xgreat grandmother was Catherine (Kate) McCarthy b.1818 of Churchtown, Cloyne, parents - John McCarthy & Elizabeth Barry. Kate at age 15 married Patrick Barry b.1803 of Midleton in 1833 in Churchtown, Cloyne Parish. Kate's parents were John McCarthy & Elizabeth Barry. Kate had older sister Johanna b.1808 (living with Kate at 51 Main St in 1841 parish census), brothers David b.1810 and Garrett b. 1812.
Kate & Patrick had nine sons and three daughters - Garrett b.1854, the sixth son, was my g/grandfather He migrated to Australia in 1870s and joined the NSW Artillery Corp where no doubt he learned to be a telegraphist - he later moved to the state of Queensland where he worked for the State Telegraphist's Office . An older brother was Patrick David Barry aka Patrick McCarthy Barry, b.1852 d.1925, aged 73, buried Holy Rosary Church, had continued to operate his father's shoemaker's shop at 51 Main St. He married a Johannah (?McCarthy)who died 1908 aged 57. He then married a May Esther ? who on his death married a Thomas Geaney. May Geaney ran the shoemaking business until her death in 1965 when the business was inherited by her niece who lived in Cork City.
Although there were seven sons and three daughters I have never been able to contact any descendants of Kate McCarthy and Patrick Barry. The children were: Mary Ann b.1833 Richard 1835 William 1839 Elizabeth 1842 John 1844 Patrick 1846 Catherine 1849 Patrick David 1852 Garrett 1854 Justin Robert 1856 James Joseph 1859 Robert Henry 1852
Can anyone link to these McCarthy/Barry families?
