Barry
There were three very distinct Catholic Barry families of very different origins based in Carrigtwohill and surrounding
locality. All three had vastly extended branches, and may be still be found in the village and neighbouring townlands to
this day.
The Standish Barry family is a branch of the original Barry family. Whereas, the Smith family who were Protestant have
no connection to the Barry clan, who were of English origin.
One very important branch of the Barry family includes those of Rockville, fully chronicled by Reverend Edmond Barry,
M.R.I.A., V.P.R.S.A.I., former PP of the Rathcormac, and Rockville. This is a valuable and rare document which has been
scanned for posterity; a copy of which was published Cork Historical and Archaeological Society Journal, 1902, and may
be found at the local history section of Cork City Library, Grand Parade.
