Hi Patricia,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
My great-grandmother was Mary Barry (nee Devonshire). She married Michael Barry, a widower, in July 1882. She is registered as a servant and lived in Coolbay at the time of her marriage. Her father was Thomas Devonshire a farmer. Thomas was born in 1839 and died in 1919. Her mother's maiden name was Mary O'Brien and she was from Ballymacuidick. She was born in 1861. I don't have any record of her death.
Mary, my great grandmother had 3 sisters, Johanna born in 1863, sister Bridget born in 1871, and Margaret born in 1872.
She also had 3 brothers, Patrick born in 1865, William born in 1868, and Thomas born in 1867.
