Church records for Baptism 5 Sept 1856 Mary Barry
Hello, I have been searching for a possible location for the marriage and origins of Garrett Barry and Catherine Toner. To date I thought that I had found all the children of the marriage, but now there is a possibility that an earlier daughter Mary was born to the couple. I have an extract from the Parish of Kells for a Mary Barry baptised and the parents are listed as Garrett Barry & Catherine Tole? the page is badly copied and I would like to know if there is a possibility that the surname has an additionl letter e as in Toler, which is more likely to have been mis interpreted from Toner?
If this was to be the case then there is also a posibility that the parents married at the same area, as the first son Michael was baptised in St Peter's, Drogheda July 1857 which is not far away. Does anyone have access to the original registers or alternative scanned copies where the full entry can be read, or translations?
If these are real links then there may be other links to the Toner Family assuming that the brides parish was used as is traditional, or records of Garrett Barry, who would be about 20 years old as an estimate. Later they family had other sons in Belfast as they were street traders and very mobile, they may have come to the area bu rail as at that time the rail link from Dubil to Belfast had been completed.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you
Mike Barry
