Looking for birth city of Marie Barber and Harry Barber

Hi,

 

Do you know much about their emigration? Dates, the reason why they left, etc.? Generally more information was given at the port of arrival rather than the port of departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (e.g. Liverpool), this could be a good place to find more information, and perhaps even find out an exact place of origin.

You could try posting as much information as you can regarding these people. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of volunteers will be able to assist you.

Have you tried

Berber is a very unusual name in Ireland.  Barber is more common but not a lot.  However, name spellings can be very misleading and one should not be trapped into thinking that a family is not yours because they spell the name a way you do not.  I have 13 spellings for my McClementses.

There is another big problem.  Ireland does not have many birth records in the 1830s so you will probably not find Harry (Henry?) and Marie

But if we assume it is spelled Berber, then this is the only Henrys i can find on the online databases in Northerin Ireland:
