Anne Barry, Mary Byrne
Carlow
Anne Barry was my great grandmother. She was the daughte of walter Barry and Mary Byrne and she was baptised in 1843, Any of this sound familiar. Would love to find current relatives.

Anne was baptised on the 8th June 1845 in Rathvilly RC Parish (see abt. half-way down left page)... residece appears to be Ricketstown which is the name of a townland in Rathvilly civil parish. I also checked for possible baptisms of any siblings to Anne in Rathvilly RC parish, and located just one - a John Michael Barry bapt. 23rd April 1843 (see right hand page). Baptism records for the parish go back to the 1790s with a small gap.
A search found no sign of a marriage of Walter & Mary in Rathvilly records .. marriages usually took place in the bride's parish, so possibly she was from another parish.
Edit : found two further possible siblings - twins Joseph and James baptised on the 9th July 1837 - the entry is in a faded section of the register - see the right hand page. There appears to be a residence at the end of the entry - looks like Ty..ck. possibly a variation of Tiknock which is the name of a townland in Rathvilly civil parish.
