Find Ancestors

Trying to find information about John Barry b. 1850 married Mary Jane Garrett b 1849. May be connected to James Elmer b. 1845 and Mary Spencer. John Barry had a son John Barry b 12 June 1876 who died 6 September 1965. He married Keziah Cotton we think on 31 May 1896. They had a son called John Barry born 22 June 1896. He married Lily Rollett. They had 7 children - Ivy b. 1920, Lily Muriel b. 1924, John b. 1926, Morris b. 1929, Jean b. 1932, Sylvia b. 1933 and Carl b.1937.

Any information about any of the above and also further back would be appreciated.

In what way do you think they're connected with the Barry's other than occupation?

Its the parents of John Barry born 1850(?) that I need to try and find, I've been finding it difficult because they all seem to have the same name. I think that his parents may have come from Dublin but I'm not 100% on this, there is some Irish connection on that side. I do know that the Barry family came to the Leicester area and thats where they stayed.

The Elmer connection was something that was suggested by my mother in law, but again this could be completely wrong.

Any information at all would be really helpful as I seem to have hit a brick wall.

??? I'm not happy with this as it would be uncommon for a labourer's son to become a shoemaker, but Patrick may have fallen on hard times.

I don't think that this is them, because the mother, Mary, would be too young to have a child born around 1850. I'm still looking but really struggling to find anything - not too good at it really.

Which Mary are you talking about? 1871 is the wife of John. 1851 is the wife of Patrick. Unfortunately I can't find any of them in 1861.

Ozi.

It was the Mary that you found that was born in Edmonthorpe and married to James, but the link isn't there now - I was a bit slow replying.

No worries Laura. I deleted the link as I saw I was wrong about the name.
