Barry/ Shea

Looking to find earlier members of these families.  Richard Barry & Margaret Elizabeth Shea had a daughter Elizabeth Maria baptized at St Erasmus Church in Nov. 1889.  A son James was baptized in 1881.  They then moved to the States in 1882.

Margaret Shea had a sister Maria who married Robert Dooley in 1863.  They had a daughter Bridget (Dela) who baptized at St. Erasmus on Jun 1864.  They too moved to the states in 1879 but with 2 daughters Bridget & Catherine.  The 1875 NY Census says Catherine was 2 yrs older than Bridget, which would put her before their marriage.   

Elizabeth's daughter Mary, wrote down these names as her Great Grandparents:

Richard Barry - James Barry & Elizabeth Barrett

Margaret Elizabeth Shea - Michael Shea & Mary Totton  (Lotton?) 

We don't believe she knew them, just told their names as she often lamented that she wished she more of her family.

She also noted the names of 2 of her Uncles: Edward & John Barry.  Those she knew by her notes.  

That is all we have.

Any help, direction or insight would be greatly appreciated.
