I am looking for info on a William Barrett from Cork --married to Margaret Lehane from Bandon. I do not know what part of Cork William was from. William's birth between 1821-1825. Margaret born between 1836-1840. I believe her parents were Denis Lahane and Mary Crean (or Keane or Crane) They had 11 children. Ancestry has some of them--but most I found through ship manifests coming to Boston in the 1880's--early 1900's. I have used the 1901 and 1911 Irish censuses and irishgenealogy.ie--but can find no info on William's exact birth place or parents. He was a widow in the 1901 census living with his son Thomas who was living in Inishannon--married to a Holland from there. Here are William and Margaret's children. Any help on William Barrett from Cork--1821-1825 would be most helpful. Thank you Sheila Barrett Gendreau
