Ellen Barry Help please

Sandra:

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

Finding a baptismal record for Ellen will be difficult without her mother's maiden name. I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and they had twenty one Ellen Barry baptismal records from 1831-1841 with father Michael. Most of the records were in Co. Cork where the surname Barry is very common. I also searched the free site www.irishgenealogy.ie for church records and found two Ellen Barry baptismal records in the 1830s with father Michael.  www.irishgenealogy.ie has records for churches in Dublin city, Co. Kerry and the south and west of Co. cork. Also, there are a good number of churches that do not have records back to the 1830s and if your Ellen was born in one of those churches, no record would be available.

Have you considered DNA testing?

You could also add Ellen's story to our XO Chronicles site and maybe someone will see a connection.   https://www.irelandxo.com/ireland-xo/history-and-genealogy/ancestor-dat…

Thank you going on the name pattern of calling children after thier parents i wonder if any of those you found had mother first name Mary or Ann

Sandra:

I found five records where the mother was Mary. Did not see any records where the mother was Ann. See below. The first record was from www.irishgenealogy.ie and the other four from Roots Ireland.
