(419) Barry (later Creagh-Barry) of Dundullerick

Barry of Dundullerick
The Barrys of Dundullerick were descended from David Oge Barry (d. 1579?), who was murdered at the instigation of his cousin James Barry, 4th Viscount Buttevant, but left four sons and one daughter. His second son, Redmond Barry (fl. c.1550-1615) was the father of James Barry (d. c.1617), with whom the genealogy below begins, and who purchased Dundullerick in the early 17th century. Very little is known about the early generations of this family, who were apparently consistent in their adherence to the Roman Catholic faith through four centuries. As a result of the operation of the penal laws, they were unable to hold public office, attend university, or participate in many of the professions until the late 18th century. Taken together with the poor survival of records in Ireland before the 19th century, this means that little independent confirmation of the genealogy which the family provided to the editors of Burke's Landed Gentry is possible. This is significant because there are suspiciously long intervals between generations in the 17th and early 18th centuries, and while the published descent is not impossible, it may be that the published account is incomplete.

James Barry's son, Edmond Barry (d. 1660/1665) is reported to have built or rebuilt the main house at Dundullerick, which he passed on to his son Thomas Barry (fl. 1684) and grandson, Garrett Barry (c.1680-1760). The two townlands of Dundullerick East and Dundullerick West both had substantial houses, and Garrett Barry left one to each of his two sons, Edmond Barry (c.1712-84) and Garrett Barry, after which they followed different paths through the family until the 20th century. Edmond Barry inherited Dundullerick East, which had the principal house, and passed this at his death to his fifth son, William Barry (1757-1824). Garrett Barry inherited Dundullerick West, which he mortgaged to Edmond's fourth son, David Barry (d. 1820). It subsequently passed into David's possession, but whether this was by purchase or inheritance is not clear. It then passed to David's son, Edmond Barry (1794-1862). On Edmond's death it passed to his son David Creagh Barry (1839-64), but when David died shortly afterwards it went to his younger brother, Pierce Barry (1840-1908), who was in Australia at the time, and had to return home to claim his inheritance. Pierce was unmarried and farmed Dundullerick West on his own until he needed help to manage the property. He then brought in his nephew, Edmond John Barry (1873-1934) and made him his heir. Edmund also remained unmarried, and at his death the property passed to his younger brother, William Barry (1886-1960), a local solicitor, who sold the estate to his third cousin, James William Creagh-Barry (1863-1952) of Dundullerick House.

William Barry (1757-1824), who had inherited Dundullerick House in 1784, probably rebuilt or remodelled it to give it the Georgian appearance it is known to have had in the 20th century. He had a very large family (eleven sons and three daughters) and may well have felt the need for extra space, although he also lived at Rockville, Carrigtwohill. His eldest son, James William Barry (1782-1846) inherited the house. He and several of his brothers were very active in Liberal politics in the second quarter of the 19th century. At his death the estate passed to his elder son, William Barry (c.1819-75), who died unmarried, having outlived his younger brother, who was a barrister, secretary to the local Liberal MP, and also unmarried. In 1875, therefore, the estate passed to their sister, Anna Maria (1821-75) and her husband, Philip William Creagh (1817-1901), although since Anna Maria died later the same year, Philip Creagh was the effective beneficiary. His elder son, James William Creagh-Barry (1863-1952) inherited in due course, and it was he who finally reunited the ownership of the two Dundullerick townlands. Rather improbably, he married an English musical comedy actress, and the family spent some time in England, where they had a house at Southsea (Hampshire). In 1950 he sold the whole Dundullerick estate, and both Dundullerick House and Dundullerick West have subsequently been demolished.

Dundullerick House and Dundullerick West, Leamlara, Co. Cork

Two houses about which very little can be said, since no illustration of either appears to be known. The estate was acquired by the Barry family in the early 17th century, and included the townlands of Dundullerick East and Dundullerick West, each of which had a substantial house with a gate lodge, the two properties being occupied by two branches of the family from the 18th to the 20th century. Dundullerick House itself is said to have been built or rebuilt in the mid 17th century for Edmund Barry (d. 1660/65), but it was again rebuilt or remodelled in Georgian times as a two-storey house with a three-bay centre and single-storey, two-bay wings. It is not known when this was done, but it was perhaps for William Barry, who inherited in 1784 and died in 1824.

In the later 19th century the estate passed by marriage to Philip William Creagh (1817-1901). His son, James William Creagh-Barry (1863-1952) was the last member of the family to live permanently at Dundullerick. The house was put up for sale in 1950 with 310 acres of land, and was then described as "a stone-built residence, facing west, with main windows south and east...with considerable charm... in nicely timbered parklands". The house was said to be structurally sound (from which I think we can infer poor decorative order!) and consisted of four reception rooms, four principal bedrooms and service accommodation, some of which was in the basement, which formed the ground floor at the rear of the building. In 1957 the main house was 'compact, modernised and in good repair'. Later owners do not seem to have shown the same care, however, and by 1995 both Dundullerick House and Dundullerick West had been demolished, along with the stable court, lodges and all but one of the outbuildings. New houses and farm buildings now stand close to the sites of both houses.

Cronin...
