I am looking for family ties to John Bradley - born June 1808 in Kells to Byron Bradley and Ellen Ahern. He married Mary Katherine McDonald. John and Mary Katherine had John Jr. - b. 1845 in Kells; Michael - b. 1850 in Kells; Patrick b. 1853 in Kells, and daughter Julia born in 1861 in Illinois.
Hi Linda,
The only records I can find is are for Patrick Bradley baptised on the 14 November 1852 in Kilskyre/Ballinlough county Meath, parents John Bradley and Mary McDaniel and a daughter Anne baptised 4th May 1856 in Kilskyre, parents also John Bradley and Mary Mcdaniel and a marriage for a John Bradley and Mary McDaniel on the 10th September 1848 in Kilskyre co. Meath
No record for a son John or Michael, plenty of John and Michaels but from different parents
Kilskyre is 10 minutes away from Kells
Hope this helps
Anne Marie
I have a Bernard Bradley, born in Co Meath, Kells in May of 1824.
His father was Thomas Bradley who married Mary Daly or Daley.
By 1870, Bernard, who 1st emigrated to Nebraska, was working in Iowa as a farmer.
He had 15 children with Mary Quinn (I have her photo too.)
Bernard died 2 Dec 1911 in Palo Alto, IA.
I am finding many Bradleys that are connected. My great great grandfather was William Bradley, b, 1818, who ended up in Sun Prairie, WI
