    Thanks Tom - you are so wonderful doing this service for people. I think this may be my Patrick Berry, so I am very grateful to you as I had hit a brick wall. All I know is that my GGmother remarried after 1915 and being a RC I assumed Patrick had died due to very few RC divorces back then? Also she had 3 siblings - all seems to tie in. He must have left for war in the year she was born maybe having never even seen his new born. Sad.Thanks again - hoping one day I can read your book and even better visit Wexford.

    Hello Aussie Deb.
    Richard Berry was his brother, and Richards wife, Ellen, remarried after he died. The 1911 and 1901 census are now online so that may be your next port of call.

    Glad to help.
    Kind regards.
    Tom.
