Hello
In Bluebell cemetery there is a headstone with the following inscription:
This Stone is erected to the memory
of Mrs Mary Berry who departed this
life the 29th day of May 1818, aged 27 years
The corresponding death notice in the Freeman's Journal (which matches the date of death on the headstone) states that she died, after a long illness, at the residence of her father in Fox & Geese, Dublin.
I have a gut instinct that Mary Berry was a Flood. If the age on her headstone is correct then, judging by the stated ages of her husband's children, I think she may have been the second wife of Patrick Berry.
If you happen to have any records of any conections to the Berry family, I would be very interested.
Thank you
