Wexford / Re: Murphy - Berry Family Wexford Town
« on: Saturday 31 December 22 00:10 GMT (UK)  »
After over 10 years of research I believe I have solved the mystery of so many Johns, Edwards and Nicholas's Berry of Keysers Lane.  My GGG grandfather John Berry (circa 1820) married 3 times and fathered many children.  His fathers name was Edward. 
His first marriage to Bridget Mangan in 1847 produced several children including John Berry who married Kate Browne in 1876.
After the death of Bridget at the approx age of 52 (1876) he married Anne Reville (aged 18 !) who gave birth to William and died either from childbirth or shortly thereafter.  William went on to marry Ann Kelly in 1903.
In the same year as his second wife's death he remarried again -Mary Roche and fathered at least 4 children.  This included my gg grandfather Patrick who died in WW1. Patricks brother Richard married a Sheehan and Patrick married Ellen Browne.  So it appears many of the Berry Boys married into the Sheehan and Browne families .

Due to the huge age differences of all of John Berrys children it was difficult to work out how they all related to each other - but thanks to an Ancestry member providing the information I was able to sort it all out.  It seems the names John, Edward, Patrick all came from the paternal side and Nicholas was from the maternal side (Browne and Sheehan) . Hope this helps

Trying to find out more information regarding Alexander Orr who lived in Brookeborough and in 1848 was listed as a carpenter. He was listed as father to John Orr who married Ann Short in Aghavea in 1862.  Trying to work out connection to Henry Orr (1807-1887) who leased land in Ervey Brookeborough. I have a lot of information regarding Henrys family but not Alexander.

Wexford / Re: Frizelle family
« on: Tuesday 24 January 12 09:13 GMT (UK)  »
I too have Frizzel in my tree (husbands side) whom I believe was born in Port Rush Co Antrim, circa 1857 and when she moved to Scotland changed her name from Ellen Frizzel to Helen Frazer. Later immigrated to Australia. Finding it hard to find information due to the name changes.

Thanks Shorts

I am thinking this Patrick has to be mine.  I note Richard Berry as being his brother (who also died in WW1) and that this is the Richard who married a Sheehan.  As noted on the marriage cert his father John Berry was deceased yet on James's he is listed as residing in olyegate. It appears there were 2 John Berry's - Richards perhaps being the John Berry that died c1898.  On the 1901 census he was listed with his mother Mary Kearney (1911 census spelt Carney) and listed as stepson to John Kearney.  Also he lists mother as Mary Carney on his WWi records.  Possibly related to the other Berry boys who married Sheehans but not their brother. Thanks everyone for their imput - managing to get a lot of information and hopefully in the end will be able to tie it all together.

Does the name Patrick Berry appear to be mentioned in these records? His children John, Bridie (Bridget?) Mary & Kathleen.  I know he died before 1919.

Hi
I am fairly new to all of this as well. I havnt gone any further back than Patrick with any great certainty.  My Patrick lived in 9 Keyers Lane in 1911 married to Ellen Berry (maiden name Browne) When Kathleen was born in 1915 they lived in Back Street, then Patrick went off to war and died in 1917.  References in war news mention another brother Richard who also died in WW11 but his parents are named John and Mary.  I had no idea that Berry was such a popular name in Wexford so I am having difficulty confirming Patricks parents.

Wexford / Michael John Murphy's mother?
« on: Monday 19 July 10 23:10 BST (UK)  »
Hi. Trying to find name of Mother of Michael John Murphy born Wexford (Wexford Town)24 Sept 1908 , father Thomas. Have found 3 Michaels in 1911 census that match age and father being Thomas. Cant apply for birth cert unless have name of mother and that is who I am looking to confirm so that I can see which Michael in census is the right one. Only other information is that he had a least 2 siblings John and Kitty. Thanks

Renfrewshire / Re: Carmichael Glasgow
« on: Friday 09 July 10 09:57 BST (UK)  »
Information obtained on marriage certificate:
1880 marriage in the district of Anderston in the Burgh of Glasgow.
4th day of June at 59 Washington St, Glasgow according to the terms of the Church of Scotland
Robert Carmichael (Steamer Ship Stoker) Aged 24
Helen Frizzle (Domestic Servant) Aged 24
Both list their usual address as 59 Washington Street.

Grooms Father:  Robert Carmichael, Farm Labourer (deceased)
Grooms Mother: Helen Carmichael - Ms Findlay (deceased)
Brides Father: Andrew Frizzle, Farm Labourer,
Brides Mother:  Helen Frizzle - Ms Beckon (?) hard to read script.

The birth certificate Australian for their first born son (1886) was listed as parents Robert Findlay Carmichael (aged 30)and Helen Carmichael (29) ((Maiden name Frazer) Place of birth - both Scotland.

Further confusion 1881 census states they lived in 39 Washington St, but Helen is named as Ellen.  And both state as birthplace ireland. They lived with Samuel frizzle.

Pretty sure Robert came out on Steamer Archer in 1883 to Australia but no record of Helen.  Their second son born in Australia was named Sydney Villiers Carmichael.
