Hi Listers
Still looking for information on my Barry family who arrived in Carmarthen from Cork?
between 1852 and 1855. David Barry b. 1835 came with his father Edward b. 1800 and
possibly another son William. Whilst in Carmarthen David married Ann Hurley and they had
six children Margaret b1856, Patrick b.1858, William b.1861, Edward b.1864 and Mary Ann
b1867 and Helen/Ellen b.1871. William died 1885 but Patrick, Edward and Mary Ann left for
the Rhondda Valley where I suppose there was more work. I have no knowledge of Margaret
or Helen/Ellen.
I was under the impression according from the censuses that there was only this Barry
family in the town of Carmarthen, but I find that a William/John Barry from the parish of
St Clears died in the workhouse on 15 November 1880 aged 88. My Barry family settled in
the parish of St Peter's Could there be a relationship between Edward
and William/John who died in the workhouse? . What I really want to know are
these parishes near each other?
Looking forward to any help or to hear from any descendents.
