About
William Barry was a labourer of Dunmanway and the father of Ellen Barry, who married James Damery at Drinagh in 1858. He is the closest thing this tree has to an unopened door: a named man only four generations up.
Research notes
✓ AS TO THE RELATIONSHIP: WILLIAM BARRY, LABOURER, of DUNMANWAY, co. Cork - named as Ellen's father on her 1858 Drinagh marriage record (both parties signed by mark). THE NEAREST ENDPOINT IN THE WHOLE TREE (generation 4). NEXT TEST: Ellen was b. c.1834, so look for her baptism in Dunmanway/Fanlobbus RC registers c.1830-38 for a William Barry - that record would name HER MOTHER, a woman entirely unknown at present. END OF LINE as entered. WIRED 7 Aug 2026 from the subject's own existing note - this parent was already documented in the file but had never been given a record.
