I am looking for family members of the Barrett/Flemming tree, I have recently discovered a connection to Micheal Barrett who had 2 brothers and 3 sisters, His brothers were Joseph, and Patrick, the sisters are Nora Hana and Eileen
Aiming to visit Ireland this summer I have cousins in Carrick on Shannon and it would be great to call into Cork and visit.
Thanks All
Michaela:
Do you have the names of the parents of the Barrett children? Can you provide approximate years of birth? 19th century? 20th century?
Roger McDonnell
Hello Roger,
Yes the parents were Cornelius Barrett B 1893 and Helena Fleming 1899
The children's names were
Micheal Barrett B 1929 Joseph Barrett 1930 (approx) Patrick
Nora, Eileen and Hanna
they lived in Kanturk Cork
I'm trying to trace any children of the above I believe the sisters stayed around the new quarter areas.
Thank you
Michaela
Michaela:
See third record at this link. Is it possible the groom was Florence Barrett? https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_re…
We only have online access to births thru 1920.
Unfortunately, our privacy rules prevent us from trying to locate living indiviuals.

Hello Roger,
Yes that is correct it is Florence, which i havent seen before as an Irish mans name was this common during this time? Thank you for sending that through, i understand about the privacy rules, i wonder if there is a community board for Cork that i could put my post on?
Basically I am a relative that no one knew about! It was all news to me around 13 years ago so quite a discovery for myself too.
Many thanks
Simone

Florence as a male name was almost exclusively found in Co. Cork. Not sure if the name is used today. I would look for a Kanturk Facebook page.
Roger
Hi Roger,
Thank you thats interesting that the name is only used in Cork, I am wondering if thats case across other countys a name thats only used in one area.
I am have requested to join a Kanturk page, will see what happens thanks again and Happy St Patrick's day.

Hi Denise,
Many thanks for the suggestion, I did join and was directed towards another page the Dunhallow Newsletter on Facebook, I joined and put my request out had a few responses but it hasn't lead to anywhere. I just feel unsure about how to announce myself to the family.
Someone on there has been very kind and wants to help get me in the right direction so waiting to hear back from her after she's done some investigations.
thank you
Michaela
