In your Birmingham/Bermingham search, have you come across a John Joseph who was a prominent member of a church in Cork or his daughter Mary Elizabeth by any chance?

Nicci Thanks for your email. Unfortunately I know nothing more about the Bermingham family, except that Walter b\Bermingahm and Michael O'Brien were witnesses at the marriage of John Rea to Ellen Birmingham 13.2.1838 at Glanworth Parish. The Gertie Rea obit mentioned ..I know she was a teacher in Glanworth. Nothing else is known...sorry. Margaret
