Hi Brian
My maternal grandfather's name was Thomas Cornelius Barry. His family lived in Chicago. I just found out my great grandfather's name: Thomas Phillip Barry. He was born in Baltimore, MD, USA. It's thought that his father—my great great grandfather—came from Ireland, perhaps around the year you mentioned, but I don't know his name. I've heard that many Barrys come from Cork. In addition to your mention of Cork, what struck me about your message were the family names, including Cornelius—my grandfather's middle name—and Edward and Daniel, two of his brothers' middle names.
I wonder if we might be part of the same branch of the Barry family? Please let me know if you have any information to share.
Thanks,
Pabini
