I'm wondering if anyone could help me find my grandfather's birth. His father, Stephen Barry (1844), was born in Ireland and his mother, Annie Elizabeth Steed (1856) who was married three times, was born in Boxford, Suffolk. My older cousins all believe that Jeremiah was born in Ireland and that he had an Irish accent. I have found him on the 1891 census, living with his mother and her second husband, John Goggin. He is listed as Jeremiah Goggin. It says that he was born in Poplar, London, along with his siblings. On his military records, it also says he was born in Poplar, London, but I just can't find the birth. Someone suggested that maybe his mother travelled back to Ireland to have him, but I can't find any travel records for this.

There is a story that is in my family, that my grandfather was Irish and came from Cork or Waterford and was on the run from the IRA and would never have his photo taken. Another story is that we are related to Kevin Barry, who was executed by the British in 1920 for his part in an Irish volunteers operation and that Jeremiah went to his funeral. I don't know if this is the reason why it is so hard to find any records. I also can't find the births for his siblings. There are several Jeremiah Barrys born in Cork, Ireland at about this time, but I am reluctant to order any of the certificates, because I am not sure that he was born in Cork and it is such a shot in the dark.

Can anyone help.

Thank you in advance.
