G'day Renee There is a Catherine Barry registered Newport, Mon June Q 1852, Vol 11a, Page 152 (which would be about right if you've used US date format from her death certificate)on a FreeBMD search of the years 1845 - 1855 for Monmouthshire. Also another in December 1854. Neither could not have appeared on the 1851 Census not having been born at the time. There are a number of Mary Barry's from 1856 - 1862. Two were registered in Pontypool, one in 1860, the other in 1862. I don't know if this helps but the FreeBMD search website http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl will show those GRO entries that have been transcibed to date for the years you seek. That's where I got the information above.

I have Ancestry, but can't seem to locate the records. I am looking for the following ch ildren or any children born to John and Margaret Barry who were from Lislee, or Lisleagh Cork Ireland, but in Wales in 1851 and 1861. Actually their sons John and Maurice (Morris) Barry were born in Cork as well. Their daughters Catherine and Mary were born in Wales. Catherine (Catron on 1861, Catherine 1851) born 5/10/1852 (according to her death cert) and sister Mary some time after that. Mary born in Pontypool, and Catherine born in Monmouth Carleon. Ages on census were Catherine 1851 age 3, 1861 age 12. Mary 1861 9. But I was told they were made to look older in order to go to work. Catherine worked in a skin yard in 1861. So I'm stumped due to Catherine's death cert having her born 5/10/1852 and her? being on the 1851 census as 3? How can I find and confirm her birth?
