~~Hi, Grace Fox,
Following up your message posted on 28 May 2013
I wonder if Ann McAuliffe, whom you mentioned previously, has been able to find any of the descendants of Patrick and Kate (McCarthy) Barry who were Patrick David (McCarthy) Barry's and Garrett Barry's parents? Garrett was my great grandfather.

Hi Donald
Did you manage to reach Gracie Fox in relation to your Barry query?

Hello Clare,
Thank you for your query.
Unfortunately, I have not heard further from Grace Fox.
I had hoped she might have a real lead regarding Patrick Barry b.ca.1803, shoemaker of Main St, Midleton, Cork and his son Patrick David (McCarthy) Barry who apparently took over his shoemaking business. Patrick Sr was married to Kate McCarthy of ChT (?Churchtown) and Kate's mother was Elizabeth Barry, so this lot of McCarthy/Barrys were interlinked. Kate had a brother Garrett after whom my great grandfather Garrett Barry (son of Patrick and Kate) was presumably named.
Regards,

Hi Donald,
I am wondering what info. you have on the Barry's? Have you an age for your great grandfather Garrett Barry son of Patrick and Kate?
The reason i ask is that the 1842 Census for Midleton has the following family and in 1848
Patrick Barry Main Street age 37 shoemaker Patrick Barry 45 Shoemaker
Kate Mc Carthy " Wife " 26 Kate Barry 30
Mary Ann Barry Daughter " 8 Mary Anne 15

Was Garrett born after 1848?
The only gravestone in the Holy Rosary Cementary that seems to apply to the family is no.6 in section K. which reads
