I am looking for info on Anne Barry, date of birth 1842, father Michael Barry. Anne married my ggrandfather Bernard Rooney,16 Nov 1881 in Newry registration district #2. Anne was a spinster and domestic servant who lived at Hill Street,Newry . Anne died between Jul-Sep 1883. In the 1920 US census I found a Patrick Barry age 43 and a Owen Barry age 24 living with Daniel Rooney , Bernards son from his firsts marriage.

Ann,
Here’s a link to Anne’s marriage in 1881:
Anne’s father was Michael Barry a labourer who was alive in 1881. Newry RC baptism records start in 1818. You could search them for Anne’s baptism (and that of any siblings) on the nli site:

I don’t see a death for Anne Rooney in Jul – Sept 1883. (There is a death for Anne Barry in Newry in July 1883 but she can’t be the same lady. She was a farmer’s wife and married to Peter Barry of Crossan).

Nearest birth I could find for Owen Barry aged 24 in 1920 was this in Banbridge in 1898:
Owen in the 1901 census:

And in 1911:

Nearest for Patrick Barry aged 43 in 1920 was this birth in Newry in 1879:
Did Owen or Patrick marry in the US, and did they die there? If so those marriage and death certificates may clarify who their parents were.
