The Barry Family from Cork Ireland

Hi Debbie,

The Barry surname is very common in Cork and there are several lines of this family.  Your George Barry came from Douglas-Ballygarvan just south of Cork city, father Edmond Barry, mother Ellen Sullivan.

Just giving you an extra bit of information to help you in your search for other people researching the same family or line

You should also know that there is a great deal of historical/DNA work going on about the Barry family through FTDNA.  If you are interested, please look up the site https://www.familytreedna.com/ and look under the surname research.  There is a man by the name of James Barry who has literally done DNA on a Barry male that was buried in the 1600s.  You might find that they have a lot of information.  Personally, I am a descendant of Daniel Barry, b. 1812, in the Herbertstown /Hospital area of County Limerick.

Best wishes in your search.

Dear Marsha, thank you so much for your reply and the information. Kind regards Debbie 

Hello, The Barry project,  that is the FTDNA Barry Surname project now has over 150+ members here is the URL -https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/barry/about/background, it is open to both male Y DNA and both Male & Female Autosomal results, Ancestry,23andme etc. We have an active project the 'Earls of Barrymore'  here is the wiki page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Barrymore and the project is here https://sites.google.com/site/barrymorednaproject/

The current status is that the bone sample extracted is of poor quality and only 12 STR values have been extracted, also the SNP test was also of poor resolution and not useable. The foresic team will return and take new samples from the two skulls in the tomb, which will hopefully bring better quality results. In the mean time we are busy tracing any possible living descendants of the Anglo Norman original family, and we have a group of Barry DNA signatures under R1b-Z49 who we suspect are a selection of desecdants. Further funding is required for this follow up proceedure, any size of donation is very welcome and new project members are alway welcome. 

I hope this has been informative please follow the URL for more information  Regards Mike Barry co admin Barry Surname project.

Does anybody know where I might find information about a Thomas Barry born around 1810 in Limerick who married a Mary Naughton (or Norton) b. 1823 also in Limerick?   Their children were Ellen "Nellie" Barry b. 1846, Lawrence Barry, b. 1854, Margaret Barry, b. 1856, William Barry b. 1857, and John J. Barry, the youngest whose birthdate I'm unsure of.   The family eventually immigrated to Ohio, USA.

If it helps, I believe Mary's parents were William Naughton/Norton and wife Margaret.  

....and I just realized I may have posted this in the wrong place.  The dangers of having too many tabs open at once.  My apologies!

Kealin,

 

I'd be interested in knowing more about the family history you listed as I have a family of  a Garrett Barry DOB abt. 1835 plus or minus Location unkown in Ireland, and he named his sons with the same names you have listed. My gt. grand father Michael Barry DOB 1857 one of the sons of Garrett Barry & Catherine Toner  I have extensive DNA testing I wonder if you have used this, if not then it might be the way forward for you. I could advise what you need to to, as I'm co admin at the Barry surname DNA project at FTDNA?

 

Looking forward to hearing from you please reply to mike@mikebary.eu

My husband’s gggrandmother was Mary Ann Barry baptized Apr 12 1820, Lislee Cork. Sponsors Edmond Barry and Margaret Barry.  She married Michael O’Donovan (1809-1855) of Barryroe on February 15 1835. On ancestry.com IngerO site, Mary "Anne" is daughter of Edmond Barry and Mary Fitzgerald and wife of Michael O'Donovan and mother of Timothy Donovan.  Michael and Ann Barry (as she was known) had 7 children.

•      Timothy 1836-1885 (born in Kilsillagh, Cork married Anne Fleming in 1856 in Barryroe remained in Ireland and had 7 children);  many of his children immigrated to the US ending up in Idaho and California sometimes after a brief time with the Tomah Donovans who got them linked to railroad jobs 
•      Patrick 1839-1900 – emigrated to KY in US (Kathy O’Neill Family Tree)
•       Michael 1841-1841
•       Michael J 1845-1914 - Immigrated to Tomah WI in US, married Catherine Linehan and had 5 children
•      John 1849-1916 - Immigrated to Tomah WI in US, married Bridgid Callahan and had 8 children, one of which is my husband’s grandfather Michael
•      Stephen T 1852-1935 Immigrated to Tomah WI in US, married Margaret Murphy and had 10 children
•      Jeremiah died in infancy.

Both Michael and Mary Ann died in the epidemic of 1856.  Timothy who had recently married took in his younger siblings until they were old enough to emigrate.  The descendants of Michael’s (1809-1856)  brother John still farm the original family farm lands in Barryroe. 

Marilee Ivers Donovan 

Hi Marilee, thats a great piece of reseach, and congratulations on locating the home lands, not that many manage that much.  As Barryroe is so close to the Barry seat of influence in Co Cork, have you considered getting close male relatives to take a Y DNA test at FTDNA, as this could be a very interesting insite into the possibilities of being linked to the Anglo Normal families, or other wise. We at the Barry Surname FTDNA project would welome more Barry connections. The main Admin Jame Barry also lives Stae side and has had similar success in tracing his homeland, but also has set up the Earls of Barrymore project to establish if DNA extracted from a Barry male in Castleyons can shed any light on the biolgical history of that family desended from Odo DeBarri who came to England, Wales and then Ireland around 1150 - 1200 AD. regards Mike Barry

Dear Mike, Marilee, Kealin14, Marsha, Mallow & others:

 

I'm reading this thread with  a lot of interest due to my own Barry connections.  My own family came from Cork and emigrated to CT in the 1870.  He settled in the Norwalk, CT area.  If this sounds familiar to anyone of you, please let me know.  There was another Barry family who settled there who I believe was also related, but we have not been able to confirm that.

 

All the best,

 

Jane.

I have a Barry gggrandfather who emigrated to America, year unknown to me.  Michael Joseph Barry's birth is believed to be 1831, Michael was married to Johanna O'Connor, Johanna's birth is believed to be 1834.  Few details of these ancestors are known, prior to the birth of their first son John William Barry in New York (City?).  Michael  Joseph worked as a fisherman and or ships cook in Gloucester Massachusetts, where his second and third children were born in the 1860's.  Michael, who was known as "Joseph" continued going to sea until 1882 when the Schooner Massasoit  and five crew members were lost in a collision with an ice berg off of New Foundland.  Michal Joseph is remembered on the Fisherman's Memorial in Gloucester, Mass.  I would love to link these ancestors to a place & people in Ireland and i am wondering if the AncestryDNA test i received for Christmas will help to connect the dots.  Michael Joseph was my fathers, mothers, mothers, father, i'm not sure how effective DNA test works for that type of relationship.  Thanks for all the hard work and advice i get from IXO, I have already been in touch with two likely distant Irish cousins in the last couple years, it's a great network.  Good Luck Jim Houlihan

I am very interested in the answer about Ancestry DNA.  My husband, the Barry descendent, is about to do ANcestry DNA to check relationship to a cousin (not a Barry descendent).  WIl he have to send a sample to the Barry project as well?  Marilee Donovan

Hi All,

 

The answer to your questions is that Ancestry DNA is whats called a autosomal DNA test and is available for males and females, it can span 5-6 generations sometime longer particularly for the xChromsome. When to have your results down load the signature file and import it to gedmatch.com. Send the barry surname project an Email search at google etc 'FTDNA Barry surname project'. we have both Y DNA and autosomal matching, so I hope that a connection would be made, also at Gedmatch as we use a group feature for the project. You may be luck at Ancestry, its also possible to import the autosomal to FTDNA for a small fee to get full access as they are in the top three for customers base databases. DNA testing is about maximum exposure as it still a minority activity, although not entirely un focused as those taking the test have a reason for doing so. Other things to do is learn about how it works by joining FB groups and specialise groups like the surname or haplogroups projects.  I had a great experience by using Y DNA tesing, as my mother started many years ago using the LDS microfildm system, but as we didn't have much to go on eventually settled on the wrong family in Co Cork. So by staring over I researched using my great grand fathers known history estimated DOB and his father's name and DOB, the English census records all told a different story the only common origin was Ireland. There were several rough matches, so I followed them until I found more, and for some reason favoured one family above the others , and spent a lot of effort in tracings those who as it turned out were the descendants of my gt grand fathers siblings, back into England after following the trail from Drogheda,Co Louth, Belfast, Glasgow & Edinburgh Scotland , back to Belfast and Dublin, and then over to England again. I traced one particular line, the last section to the present day was probably the most difficult using abituary and social media, as acces to living people records is resrticted. I met and obtained a DNA sample form my third cousin, in Bolton, England, and as we have a rare Y DNA signature, it was an instant confirmation, I also followed it up with more STR markers, and autosomal DNA.QED! So it can be done as this involved our common ancestor Garrett Barry DOB abt 1830 ,5 generations back from each of us but in different lines.

Thanks, Mike.  We'll see where this leads. 

Marilee

I am also researching my Barry ancestors from County Cork.  My greatgrandfather, Richard Barry (b.1848) emigrated to Northern Pennsylania, along with two of his brothers: John, born 5.12.46, and David, b.1854.  Possibly born near Skibbereen.  Their five siblings remained in County Cork, but I've been unable to find any information on my Irish roots there.  Any help [where did they live? what parish? where are they buried? their descendants!] would be greatly appreciated!  My daughters will be in County Cork soon for their first visit to Ireland!

Here's what I know from 1913 records found here:

Thomas Barry (1817-1894), married Johanna Darley (1818-1905).  They had 8 children.

3. Katherine Barry Connors (1851-1898) had 5 children, and 4 stayed: Charles, Anne, Mary, Katherine.  Family farm.

4. Ellen Barry, Katherine's twin (1851-?)

6. Thomas Barry (1856-?), married _____Hennelly.  Thomas was a police sergeant and received a government pension. They had 7 children: Nora, Thomas, Edward, James, Richard, Patrick, a boy. 

7. Mary Barry Mahoney (1858-?).  They had 6 children.  Family farm.

8. Edward Barry (1861-1907).  A farmer.

Thank you very much!

Debbie from PA

Hi D ebbie,

I will get back to you within a couple of days at most but may be possible t,hat I can find time later today to do more research but the good nmews is that I h find the othersave found the Baptismal record of Richard and having that will make it much easier to find. The sad  news at this time is that there was an earlier son called Richard in 1846 bu he must have died after baptism and a second son was called Richard as was a common practice at that time. The Parents were Richard Barry and Anne Crowley and the Baptisms were in the Skibbereen area. I will try to establish exactly where they lived in later research..

You can continue to contact m,e thgrough this message board or directly to my personal email address, frankfahy@eircom.net

 

My apologies for a lack of clarity in my last response to your queries but it was written in haste because of work pressures.

I am still  sure of the accuracy of the names and dates I used in that reply but cannot as yet account for the lack of siblings of Richard if your information is .

I will continue to look for siblings and/ for an alternative Richard..

Frank Fahy

 

Hi Debbie,

I found a family tree in Ancestry.Com of Joanna Darley and Thomas Barry of Cork city. Is this your tree or somebody else? It lists eight children by name.

John

Richard W

Ellen

Katherine

David Daniel

Thomas

Mary

Edward

 

Please let me know as soon as possible.

 

Frank Fahy

Debbie, 

Please let me know if there is anything you want me to do or if you have access to the website. 

Frank

Hi Frank,

I'm excited that you have found my Barry ancestors in Cork City!  Richard William Barry is my ggrandfather.  I have lots of questions.  Can you find the parish(s) that has records of their baptisms, marriages, and deaths, starting with Richard's parents, Johanna Darley and Thomas Barry.  Three marrired siblings who stayed in Ireland were:

Katherine Barry Connors; the couple had at least 5 children

Thomas Barry, m.___Hennelly; they had at least 7 children

Mary Barry Mahoney; they had at least 6 children   [Ellen and Edward apparently remained single.]

Would you be able to locate ggchildren of Katherine, Thomas, and/or Mary?

Where are my ancestors buried?  Can you locate the townlands where their farms were?

Lastly, can you determine if the three brothers (John, Richard, and David) immigrated to the states together?  If so, when?

Thanks so much,

Debbie Orlov, from outside Philadelphia

Hi my name is Dennis Kevin Barry my father Micheal Barry is from Cork and looking for information about if the family still stays in the area 

he is in his 70 now he left to work in uk and got married 

I think he had brothers and sisters and I belive the had a peat farm

My maiden name was Barry but my family came from County Kilkenny.  My 2nd great grandfather, Thomas Barry, was baptized 19 Nov 1812 in Thomastown, Kilkenny.  His parents were James Barry and Ellen Shea.  He married Mary Aide.  Their children were Edward, baptized 11 Feb 1840 in Ballyhale, and Mary baptized 2 May 1843.  Thomas' family immigrated to Evans, Erie, NY around 1846-50. Edward, my great grandfathe married in NY.  My 2nd cousin, Fred Barry, has done Big-Y and the M343 & M269 SNP pack.  His haplogroup is R-ZP23.  He's the only Barry from Kilkenny in the FTDNA Barry project. (I manage his account)

Based on DNA matches I believe that our Barry family goes back another generation or two in Kilkenny, but I've also heard that the Barrys likely came from County Cork, so I thought it would be useful for me to join the Barry group here.

Patricia Barry Coleman

Hi all. I have Barry ancestry on my maternal side. James Barry (4G Grandfather) married Ellen Sullivan 2 Aug 1825 in Cork (not sure if it is Cork proper or County). They had James S. Barry (3G Grandfather) bapt. 11 Jun 1826 in Inchigeelagh parish. He emigrated abt 1848. He married Ellen Hanlon who was born 1823 possibly in County Cork. They resided in Rockland Massachusetts and had several children. I am on FTDNA but only have gone up to Y67.

 

 

 

 

I know of a family who lived in New Haven, CT.  William Barry, born about 1844 in Cork, I think, and his wife Margaret Glavin, born about 1850 in Youghal, I think.  William was a marble worker -- tombstones, I think.  Not sure when they arrived in U.S., about 1875.

They had children:  Thomas, 1874, Mary, 1876, William, 1877, George, 1882, Agnes, 1885, Frances, 1888.

This is in response to Jane Halloran Ryan, who said:  

"I'm reading this thread with  a lot of interest due to my own Barry connections.  My own family came from Cork and emigrated to CT in the 1870.  He settled in the Norwalk, CT area.  If this sounds familiar to anyone of you, please let me know.  There was another Barry family who settled there who I believe was also related, but we have not been able to confirm that."

 

 

 

Hi Darlington:  

 

Thanks for your information.  That is interesting about the Barry family from New Haven.  My great-grand aunt, Mary Barry married Thomas Moore from Waterbury.  It is a mystery to me how she met him when she was living in Norwalk.  She married in the 1890s and she lived in Waterbury and raised a family there.  

If you take a DNA test or want to try to collaborate further about the Barry family, please let me know.  

 

All the best,

 

Jane

I am researching William Barry born c1833 Co. Cork.  He married Margaret McGuire born c 1831 Youghal in St Mary of the Virgin in Cardiff 1856.  I have a lot of dna matches from this couple but names are few for this Barry branch in Ireland so I am missing a lot.  I have Ellen Barry  DNA match descendant marrying a James Dammery she is from Dunmanway b 1833 but there seems to be a lot of moving round in any one lifetime.  They had William B 1865, John 1868 and Fanny Anne b 1871.  She married Henry Chapman ? a black and tan in " Cork " in 1900.  Most of my Barrys are Welsh.

 

Any comments gratefully received.

Hello Barrys.

My name is Donie O Sullivan with an interest in history,heritage and genealogy.While I have nothing to add to the genealogy search I thought the Barry clan would be interested in the town of Buttevant in north County Cork which was founded by that family in the late 1100's when the area was conquered by the Normans and it became one of the few walled towns in county Cork. Visit the Buttevant heritage site for more information and I attach a brief history of the town from that site. I have attended many seminars ,tours etc of Buttevant  and know it reasonably well so I hope this info is of interest to some of you

 

A very large number of Barry families emigrated to Ontario Province of Canada, in the three counties of Middlesex, Elgin and Huron. I have extensively researched and profiled hundreds of Barry individuals, most of whom descend from County Cork ancestry. My research spans over 250 years, between County Cork, Ontario, Canada and the United States. Please feel free to contact me if this information is relative to anyone of this ancestry.

Regards: Michael Collins

 

 

Hello Michael Collins.

 

I read with interest you research wrt the Barry surname and Canada.  I have just retired from being co admin at the FTDNA Barry  DNA & surname project and I would think that Jim the admin and myself and others would be most interested in seeing your research.  You can contact me at DNA@family-barry.com and I will introduce you.   My own Barry line does not follow the Norman influence but more likely from earlier clans, but I have yet to make a DNA link, only to identify its unlikely that I descend form one of the largest group of Barry's.  However I am still interested in the possibility to know more about those with the Barry surname, and help if I can.  I started off my Irish research by down loading both the 1901 and 1911 filtered on Barry surnames and have these as searchable excel sheets, my earliest dates are from the 1830's but the location is still unknown.  As far as I know there are no relatives after this date from my line who emigrated only to Scotland and England. But earlier generation maybe who knows, so this is why Y DNA testing is so useful to bridge these gaps in our knowledge. I look forward to hearing from you, but pleasepost more to this group. Regards Mike Barry

Hello, Mike. Perhaps we can email a bit about what information I have and what you might wish to see. There are quite a few Barry families I have researched, but given the large number of them, most with identical names among several generations, and questions about their locations in Ireland pre-emigration, I have had a difficult time linking them. Even with the families I know to have been associated with, or who married my Collins ancestors in Canada, few of their descendants have any idea about their townlands pre-emigration. Most know or suspect only County Cork to have been their residence; I have yet to see any definitively provide a townland with certainty.

I have been quite lucky to have firmly established the Irish residency of my Collins ancestors, and even located the very farm they occupied pre-emigration. Speaking for nearly all the Candians with Irish ancestry I have connected with, corresponded with, or researched, my good fortune in knowing my ancestral townland/home is the exception rather than the rule. There are a number of reasons for this lack of knowledge, but the primary reason, I believe, is the large majority of the emigrants could neither read nor write, and few left diaries or even letters to or from Canada to Ireland. In my own case, I began my own quest with no family records of my ancestry. And I have uncovered no writings of any of my immediate ancestors before 1870, and but a very few writings from their contemporaries. Couple that with the loss of so many historical records in Ireland (and the lack of record keeping before 1800, for the most part), makes the identification of townlands for descendants of the emigrants nearly impossible. To say nothing of the countless identical given names among the families, over many generations. DNA testing should be considered for offering some help to those who have no idea of where their ancestors might have lived.

Feel free to email me at micealcol@gmail.com.

Michael Collins - I apologise for posting this here like this, but not sure how else to contact you.

Would by chance any of your Collins ancestors who married a Barry had been Daniel Barry and Mary Collins and settled in the Sherbrooke, Ontario area.  Mary emigrated to Canada around the early 1840's maybe 1850's.  She also had two sisters Johanna who married Bartholomew Hartnett and a sister Ellen who was married to James Long. All three couples came over at the same time.  If this sounds anywhere familiar could you please contact me at brockgains@rogers.com.  

  And again my apologise to the other users of this message board.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi. I am also researching the Barry family from cork. My great grandmother is Bridget Barry Fitzgerald born around 1840. She married Jeremiah Fitzgerald. I know she lived in Saleen  at the time of her marriage. Her father's name was Thomas. After that I am stuck. I can't find siblings or a mothers name. Any info out there? 

Hello. I posted above about Bridget Barry. My name is Patti Fitzgerald. I neglected to mention that Bridget and Jeremiah migrated to Philadelphia not sure if they went through Canada. Again, I seem to have hit a brick wall. Any info would be greatly appreciated. 

Hello to Patti Fitzgerald. Please email me at micealcol@gmail.com with more information. I have just been contacted by another Barry who might link to you.

Best wishes:

Michael Collins

And Hello to Wilf-Gains (?).  I have no information relative to the Sherbrooke area of Ontario. Lots of Barry info in counties of Middlesex, Elgin, Huron and a smattering of other places. If I come across anything of assistance, I will follow up with you.

Best:

Michael Collins

Hi Everyone:  

I would encourage all of you with Barry ancestors to create an Ancestor profile under the XO Chronicles tab.  This may help to assist others who are also researching Barry families.  

The very best of luck with your research.  All the best,  

Jane

Hello Barrys,
I'm hoping that someone out here may have an idea of where my grandad is from. My grandad was names Thomas Francis Aherne. But this was not his name, as he was deserted when he was three at the County home in mallow. It is name the district hospital. I did a dna test on ancestry Dna, I found out I had a 2nd cousin who's mother was named Mary Barry, which might make her my grandad sister. Does anyone know if any stories of a boy being kept a secret or being desserted at 3, it would mean the world to discover the true story. He would have been around 1920.

Could I suggest that you contact Tusla, the Child & Family Agency who have an AdoptionOffice/Head quarters at Sarsfields Court Glanmire Co Cork. T45 P220 . Telephone 021 4858625. They may be able to help as this forum would not have access to records al late as 1920 and in the case of an abandoned child, they are the most appropriate agency to help you as they would have access to the records for adopted children.

I wish you the very best of luyck.

Hello everyone,

I have been searching for my ancestors on my grandmother's side. Her name was Margaret Helen Barry, born in 1900. To my knowledge she was raised in an orphanage in Maryland USA. She married Bernard Francis Heslin in New York City, approximate date 1934. I was able to locate her marriage certificate where she lists her parents to be Mary White and Edmund Barry. Edmund may have resided in Virginia, or West Virginia although I am not sure. I have not been able to locate any further information about either of her parents (my great grandparents). My grandmother passed away in 1994. She had 2 children, Bernice Heslin and James Heslin.
I was not aware my grandmother was an orphan until long after her death. I would love to find her (my) ancestors. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Karen

Hi Siobhan O'Donnell,

I noticed your post below. My GGGrandMother was Margaret Mary ‘Peg’ MAGUIRE (1814 - May 9th 1894) (niece of Fr John Maguire, PP of Youghal in 1798) so might be related to your Margaret McGuire born c 1831 Youghal. I have had my DNA tested if you would be interested in comparing.

Kind regards,

Ann Smiddy

I am researching William Barry born c1833 Co. Cork.  He married Margaret McGuire born c 1831 Youghal in St Mary of the Virgin in Cardiff 1856.  I have a lot of dna matches from this couple but names are few for this Barry branch in Ireland so I am missing a lot.  I have Ellen Barry  DNA match descendant marrying a James Dammery she is from Dunmanway b 1833 but there seems to be a lot of moving round in any one lifetime.  They had William B 1865, John 1868 and Fanny Anne b 1871.  She married Henry Chapman ? a black and tan in " Cork " in 1900.  Most of my Barrys are Welsh.

 

Hi - in 1848, Mary Fitzgerald married Michael Barry in Aghada, County Cork.

They listed their residence as Glanturkin townland.

I belive this Mary is my 3xggrandfathers's sister, his name is John and he came to Australia in 1855. 

Michael and Mary had a son, also named Michael in 1850 while living in Glanturkin.

I can't find any further children and am guessing they may have emigrated to either USA, Canada or Australia, or one or other of them passed away.

Are there any descendants of this line on the forum?

I hae multiple DNA samples available to test if any descendants have DNA test taken.

Thank you

Hello I am trying to search my fathers family. The only thing I know is that there was a John Barry that came to the US sometime between 1700-1770. I believe he came into Ellis island but unsure. I know this is not much but me and my sister are planning a trip to Ireland and would love to see our family history.
