Francis (Frank) Octavius Berry (son of Thomas BERRY and Frances Berry), b. 10 June 1779, d. 31 Oct 1864 at Tullamore; buried at Eglish on 2 Nov.
After his first marriage he lived in Tullamore where he was much involved with local affairs. He was a Justice of the Peace for King's Co., Treasurer of the County Infirmary, Churchwarden and a member of the committee appointed to supervise the building of the new church at Tullamore, St. Catherine's. He appears to have been like his father, an energetic and efficient man of business. The Charleville Estate had a reputation of being well managed. He was also a devout, not to say pious man all his life and letters written to his daughters in his old age are written in terms which today might be regarded as sanctimonious. He himself says that had he written in the same way when he was a young man he would have been considered a bore. His letters reveal him as an affectionate father and there is a hint of playfulness in them at times. A photograph taken of him towards the end of his life shows him as a stout, benevolent looking old gentleman.. He seems to have avoided pomposity and the first clause of his will states ...."I desire my funeral to be as private and inexpensive as possible".... He married (1), 11 Sept 1806 at St Michan's, Dublin, Alicia Adams, b. 1777, d. 20 May 1833; buried at Eglish. Alicia was daughter of Richard Adams of Shercock House, Co.

Some letters written by her to her daughters survive. They are affectionate, lively and full of pet names.
