I have got John Bergin a shoemaker born abt 1837, wife Mary Ann, children John b 1865, Theresa b 1867 and Joseph b 1871 all Ireland and a Mary but dont know when/where she was born. In 1881 they were in Liverpool, (apart from Mary).
Family belief is that they were from Dun Laoghaire area. I have found a John Bergin shoemaker on 1850 Shaws directory but in North Dublin. I cant tie them up with birth records on familysearch.org (sent off for one certificate for a Theresa that looked like the right one but father was James a bricklayer not John a shoemaker).
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown project sent me some birth record info but it does not tie up with the dates very well at all.
They did say there was a Jane Bergin in Deansgrange cemetery who could be mother of John snr so a look up on her could be helpful please
Any suggestions on where else to go on this quest gratefully received.
