Hi there
Apols if this is completely the wrong person but hey- worth a try.
My wife's surname is BLACK, and her ancestor Randal John Hamilton Black married Mary Ann Berry in Cavan, 1869.
Wonder if we've the same Mary Ann Berry or whether it's not; you may be able to place 'my' Mary with 'yours'.
Incidentally, following Mary and Randal's marriage, the name Berry remained as a middle name in both the American/Canadian and Irish branches of the Black family.
All the best
Matt

Dear Matt,
With a quick look I can`t find a BLACK & BERRY marriage for Co Cavan but I would say they have to be the same family.
There are lots of BERRY branches on this tree with missing Berrys and some went to America.
If you look on the net you should beable to find my email address and I`ll be happy to send you a copy of the Berry family tree.
A sample.

THOMAS & MARY had two known children;

Sue,
I was interested in your info on Thomas Berry b. 1747 m. 1772 Mary Pringle d/of John Pringle
I am researching the Pringle family of Cavan, Ire
Recently I found their marriage licence & bond:
"Marriage Licence & Bond ---Berry (Thomas) and Mary Pringle granted =21st Sept 1772. Now all men by these presents that we Thomas Berry of Berry Mountain and George Pringle of Mulnagerman, Gent, both of the Co. of Cavan and Dioces of Kilmore are held and firmly bound unto the Right Revd. Denison Lord Bishop of Kilmore in the sum of the two hundred pounds to be paid to the said Lord etc etc, by these presents sealed with our seals and dated this 21st day of September in the year of our Lord, 1772.
The conditions of this obligation si such that whereas Licence of marriage is granted by the above Lord Bishop to the above Bound Thomas Berry and Mary Pringle of the parish of Drumlane in the above Dioces. If therefore there appears not any impediment by reason of affinity consanguity precontracted or otherwise that may hinder the said marriage and if they have obtained the consent of their parents and guardians (if any they have) and if they don't proceed to the said marriage clandestantly but public in the face of the church where one of them resides that then the above obligation be nul and void otherwise to remain in full force and value in law.
Signed sealed and delivered Thomas Berry in the presence of George Pringle, Will Fox."
George Pringle is named above as a parent or guardian of Mary Pringle. Do you recall the source for Mary's father being John. Her brother Robert lived at lived in Clifton Hill, Ballyconnell, Co. Cavan.
God Bless, George

Sue,
You mention Alex Berry m. his cousin Mary Ann Irwin 1833.
How are they related.
Who are Alex's parents & Grandparents?
I have a Mary Pringle m. Wm Irwin of Curry Mahone, Co Cavan 1748.
--God Bless, George

Because I haven`t got time at the moment to answer your questions but will get back to you very soon, this info should keep you happy for awhile.
The BERRY family tree I use and is available on the Berry Family DNA blog http://berrydna.blogspotcom/ to print out.
Berry of Berrymount and BERRY OF Croghan, the Unedited extract by LORTON WILSON and no copywrite. We can thank PADDY BERRY for making this info available, he has his own site on the net with two other IRISH BERRY FAMILIES, also research by LORTON WILSON, being his wifes family.
God bless Lorton Wilson for reseaching the Cavan Berrys as well, although it isn`t a complete family tree, it`s extremely helpful and should answer some of your questions. I`m managed to fill in a few blanks and others branches have sites on the net, such as BREAKEY & STORY families.
Enjoy, Sue.
-
Sue,
Thanks for replying and sending those websites. I know you are busy at the moment. I am having trouble following it in places. Who did James Berry, son of Thomas & Mary (Pringle) marry?
--George
-
George is the forth son of Thomas BERRY & Mary PRINGLE.
JAMES BERRY son THOMAS & MARY married firstly MARY ANNE FARIS secondly ANNE LEVINGE MOORE.
Thomas and Mary( nee Pringle) their 5th child was Elizabeth Jane/ Jane Elizabeth who married William IRWIN of Bilberry Hill.
William & Jane/Elizabeth IRWIN had a daughter Mary Ann IRWIN (born 1812 , died 16 January 1890) who married 7 Dec 1835/ 3? Alexander BERRY ( died Sept 1869), Alexanders parents; James BERRY ( died 1857 ) and Ann Levinge MOORE.
For Mary Ann Irwin and Alexander Berry to be cousins their parents had to be brother and sister as was the case with James and Jane BERRY ( parents; Thomas Berry ( Died 1835 ) marr. 21 Sept 1772, Mary PRINGLE ( born 1751 IGI, father John Pringle of Ballyline, Co Cavan & LORTON WILSON)
Don`t know who are the parents of William Irwin Esq, coroner of Bilbury Hill, Cavan who married Jane/Elizabeth Berry(1788-died 25th JULY 1876, aged 88yrs)?
It isn`t an easy family free to understand and the beginning, only a guide really. Thats why I would appreciate any input as it seams to me that all the main families intermarried, therefore on each others family trees.
Thanks to this great site, we should all beable to help each other.
I don`t know who the the Mary Pringle is, who married William Irwin in 1748.
To George,
I`d be very interested to hear more about your Pringle family tree as the Pringles also comes into the Huggins tree.
BLAKELY/BLEAKLEY BERRY HUGGINS ( dec`d by sons marriage 1855) married ANN/ELIZABETH PRINGLE, parents unknown.
Blakely`s parents were Andrew HUGGINS and Margaret BLAKELY ( marr 1774).
The BLEAKLEY & HUGGINS families in KILLESHANDRA area intermarried three times and used the surnames Bleakley & Berry as christian names, like other descendants. My husband has Berry as a christian name, like his grandfather, Bleakley Berry Huggins and his grandfather, who married ANN/ELIZ. PRINGLE, above.
We descend to the Berry family through JANE BERRY ( born 1748 )who married in 1769 Killeshandra, William BLEAKLEY( born 1744?)and had 9 children. William & Jane`s son William Bl.(1773-1850 ) married 1817 Isabella HUGGINS (1777-1862).
Jane BLEAKLY nee Berry( b 1748, sister of THOMAS ( b1747)who married Mary Pringle, and MARGERY (b1752)who married 1773, THOMAS BERRY) parents were THOMAS BERRY ( brother of Alexander B. who died single 1811 and left Berrymount to THOMAS.) and MARY REDFERN( born abt 1725).
ALEXANDER BERRY & MARY ANN IRWIN had a son JAMES ALEXANDER BERRY of Mullaghmore who sadly hanged himself on the 20 FEB 1897. James married 21 March 1877, ELIZABETH FINLAY ( father JOHN FINLAY Esq. dec`d, Aldlogher.)
Elizabeth and James had a son, ALEXANDER BERRY born 17th December 1879.
You can`t help wondering, what terrible thing or event, caused a man to hang himself?
I hope I answered all the questions?
Looking foward to getting some feed back.
God bless,
Sue.

Sue,
Thanks for clarifying for me the relationship between the Berry & Irwin families. I found the following interesting 1853 court record involving the Late Thomas Berry Coroner. Thought I'd pass it on, especially because one of the jurors was "T. Pringle".
The 1772 marriage bond record I found for Mary Pringle & Thomas Berry, of BerryMount, referred to George Pringle (of Mulnagerman) as her parent or guardian. I had thought he was her father, but he infact might have been a close relative, which makes it possible for this Mary to be the d/of John & Lorton (Wilson) Pringle, if they were deceased. Or we might be talking about a different Pringle family.
My relatives George & Robert Pringle lived at Clifton Hill, Killeshandra District, Co. Cavan, which put them in the same area as your Berry family.
--George Russell, Listowel, Ontario, Canada
1853 newspaper article:
Source: Co. Cavan; Ireland Newspaper Abstracts: Anglo-Celt newspaper
RECORD COURT, CAVAN.
Friday, Feb. 25, 1853.
(Before Chief Justice Monahan.)
The Right Hon. the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas took his seat on the bench at ten o'clock this morning, and proceeded (sic) immediately with the appeals.
James Berry, appel. Patrick Lee, respn.
This was against a decree obtained in the lower court for 8l. wages owed to Lee by appellant ..... brother, the late Thomas Berry, Esq., coroner.
Patt LEE examined -- Witness deposed that he had been employed by the late Mr. Thomas Berry at 11£ per day, and that he allowed his wages to run on until it amounted to 13£., 19s. 10d. ; that on the death of Mr. Thomas Berry, his brother, the appellant deposed of the effects ; that he (Lee) applied to Mr. James Berry for the wages owed to him and received in answer to his application the sum of 3£ which left a balance of 10£. 19s . 10d ; appellant said that ought to satisfy him, but he replied he would look for the remainder ; he (Lee), in order to avoid law, offered to take 8£. in lieu of what remained due, which, he supposed, is the reason why the Barrister gave him the decree for the 8£. only ; respondent cannot read or write ; he kept a wooden account (laughter), which he got transcribed.
James BERRY, Esq., appellant, on being examined, stated, that his brother, the late Thomas Berry, died intestate ; that he left very little property to meet his debts, and that he (appellant), at the request of the widow and children, had two auctions held of the effects of deceased ; that the money received at those sales was paid by him to the widow and creditors ; (account of the disbursements produced) ; that, in consequence of having had to do with the affair, he was obliged to pay some of the creditors a considerable sum of his own money that had no money or goods of the deceased to meet respondent's demand.
The Chief Justice affirmed the decree on the ground of appellant having "intermeddled" with the property of the deceased.
The following gentlemen were sworn on the jury in this case: Alexander CLEMENGER,
T. PRINGLE, Francis M'CABE, David KELLETT, Wm. Moore BLACK, Anthony KILROY, David GRIFFITH, Wm. FARIS, Richard O'REILLY, John BEATTY, Alexander KETTYLE(sic), and Thos. PHILLIPS, Esqrs.

Thankyou George for that info.
Could you please give me a bit more info about your PRINGLE family, when they were born and died, their parents etc. I don`t seem to have made any progress with that line, although there are PRINGLE`S in the BERRY, HUGGINS & BREAKEY family.
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~colin/FergusonsOfIreland/Cavan/Deeds/No251.htm an indenture of Morgage dated 6th Apr 1872.
It seems to include most of the different families on the Berry tree and mainly gentlemen with seals.
Andrew ARMSTRONG, of Mullenogolman Cavan farmer.
Arthur William BERRY, of Killeshandra, Cavan, gentleman.
James BERRY, of Sanderville Co Cavan Esq.
James BERRY, of Westport, Mayo, gentleman.
John BERRY, of Rockville.
William BERRY, of Berrymount Cavan farmer.
Marcia (widow) & Caroline DAVIS spinster, Dublin.
Isabella and Cherry MOORE, Dublin, spinsters.
James FARIS of Cliftown. Cavan farmer.
Alfred GRIFFITH of Griffith Lodge, Belturbet, Cavan, gentleman.
Ralph MONGOMERY, Ballyconnell, Cavan, postmaster.
Margaret MORTON of the cottage, Belturbet.Cavan.
Moses NETTERFIELD of Leinster Road Rathmines, Dublin, gentleman.
Alexander PRINGLE of Clifton, Cavan, gentleman.
Robert PRINGLE of Clifton, Cavan.
There is Armstrongs on the BERRY & HUGGINS( on this site ) tree. Most of the Irish seem to have populated, America, Canada and Australia, not to mention the West Indies where Robert HUGGINS grew to manhood after being sent there as a child, for health reasons.
Some feed back, please.

Hi there
Apols if this is completely the wrong person but hey- worth a try.
My wife's surname is BLACK, and her ancestor Randal John Hamilton Black married Mary Ann Berry in Cavan, 1869.
Wonder if we've the same Mary Ann Berry or whether it's not; you may be able to place 'my' Mary with 'yours'.
Incidentally, following Mary and Randal's marriage, the name Berry remained as a middle name in both the American/Canadian and Irish branches of the Black family.
All the best

Hi Sue
Interesting! Not sure if it ties in but will definitely check if it's the same lot of Hamiltons.
Incidentally, my wife visited her grandmother recently and was given a briefcase full of family stuff to look over; her dad'll take it back soon but in the meantime I've scanned in lots of pics of various people, including Mary Ann Berry. As soon as I can get a chance to upload them I will do, and will send you a copy of her picture.
I have details - sadly not on this PC, as I'm currently surfing the net on a ferry from Fishguard to Rosslare - of exactly who Mary Ann was, and details of her grandparents, including a photograph of their headstone in Croghan.
All exciting stuff - we look to be getting closer to working out exactly which one she is!
I promise to send on asap but what with my own wife expecting a baby in Jan I know time is getting a bit hard to come by!
Hope you're well, Matt
-
Have just remembered that the tree in Ancestry has most of the details for how 'my' Mary Ann fits in. Her grandparents were Margaretta and James, so there's a generation in between.
She died in 1877 in childbirth, bearing her son Randal, my wife's great-grandfather. When she died, her children were split up; the two youngest (Herbert and Randal) remaining on the farm in Gartbratten to be raised by their aunts, and the three eldest (James, John and Eliza) sent off to live with her parents - Berrys in Croghan. James and John then departed for the US/Canada in approx.1880 and I've tracked down a few of James' descendants, and possibly some of John's. John Black is, unfortunately, a rather common name to be searching!! Eliza ended up marrying an Irishman, a Glanville, and upon his untimely death departed for Australia & NZ, remarried, and where her family lives to this day.

Hello
I am descendant of Eliza Magee, Margaret Magee's sister (who married James Berry). I have names of their children, if you would like them. If you already know their children, I am curious to know if you have information about them?
Jenni
-
Hi! So do I take it that Margaret Magee is the Margaretta who married James Berry?
-
Hi
No, its the Margaret Magee (born 1835) noted in the opening posting to this topic (i have since posting my question, found a lot more regards their children and can share if anyone wants to add this to their tree):
JAMES( above ) had a brother ALEXANDER BERRY and their parents were JAMES BERRY, ( parents Thomas Berry ( d. 1835) and Mary PRINGLE( daught of JOHN pringle), 6 children ? Rockfield, Co Cavan), Military, resides Berrymount, Liet. Killeshandra Infantry May 1805. Married first MARY ANNE FARIS, 2nd. marr. ANNE LEVINGE MOORE. Mother of Alexander and James Berry.
2nd marriage, 24 April 1848. SARAH ELLIOTT.
Children of Ann Ferguson;
1/ JAMES BERRY, died Sandford, resides Sandville, 64 acres Co Cavan, 184 Co Longford. Married Killeshandra, MARGARET, youngest daughter of Charles MAGEE of Tully. They separated.
-
Dear All Berry Descendants,
I have one for you all. I have a relative called Harriet Berry who ran away from Ireland with one of the Estates gardener's called R Rock (I think the R stood for Richard as one of is sons was called Richard).
They moved to Albany in New York and had at least three children called Richard, Harriet and Mary Ann. Mary Ann was born in 1815 and died 22nd Sep 1904 at Westgate in Margate, UK.
So I guess their mother was born around 1785 to 1795, which would make her father Thomas Berry And Mary (nee Pringle). Of course in those days if she had eloped with the gardener I am sure the family did their best to cover up that they ever had a daughter called Harriet!!
So if anyone can find anything on Harriet Berry I would be most impressed and Happy!
Best wishes,
William

Hi, I am researching the Pringle family of Killigriff/Tierworker on the Meath/Cavan border and I think that they are related to the Caledon Pringles. I have gone back to around 1820, which I think is when they moved to Killigriff, on the Tithe Applotment Books they are listed as George Pringle and brothers, representing William Pringle. I have more info on their descendants but near nothing on them or where they came from. Could you tell me more about this Mary Pringle please?
Also John Hamilton moved to Caledon area in the 1600-1700s and some of the people he brought over named children in his honour, I just saw someone in the comments had that as a middle name, hope it helps!
