Seeking Parr connections in Cootehill

Cavan

Hi There

I have been searching for ancestors of my father. His name was Patrick Joseph Sherry, born in 1904. He was in a workhouse in Monaghan. Recently through DNA we are finding we are connected to the Parr's in Cavan. Wondered if anyone had any suugestions? Thanks

While this doesn't answer your query about Carrs, here is some info I found. You might already have the baptismal record.

From rootsireland…
PATRICK JOSEPH SHERRY
Baptized 31-Mar-1904
At Workhouse, Monaghan
Father not listed
Mother Mary Sherry
Sponsor: Sarah Madden
Rev. Hugh O'Neill. 'child illigitimate - conditional baptism'.

This might be Patrick and his mother in 1911:

Thanks Patricia

I have a copy of the baptismal record but haven't seen that 1911 census. Thanks for your reply.
