Brady

Drumcliff (Sligo)

Good morning.  I am looking for information on my mother's fathers side of the family.  His name was James Brady born in 1869, died November 1941.  He married my grandmother, Margaret Harte in 1905.  He was living in Doonfore, Lissadell West in 1911.  In the 1940's and probably earlier., he lived on Carnagark Rd, Maugherow. I do not know if he had siblings. His father's name was Pat Brady and I believe his mother was Bridget Flynn. I would love to find out more about Pat Brady and Bridget Flynn.  Thank you.

James was born in 1871. See sixth record

James had the following siblings: Philip 1860 Mary Anne 1862 John 1864 Patrick 1867 Bridget 1878 Michael 1881 All baptized in the RC parish of Ballysadare and Kilvarnet

Parents were married January 21 1860 in Ballysadare and Kilvarnet.

Baptismal records for Ballysadare and Kilvarnet start in April 1842. I did not see a record for either Bridget or Patrick and they likely were born before that date.

Thank you, Roger.  The birth certificate may very well be my grandfather James.  I have found different dates for his birth.  The 1911 census is not him though.  He was married to my grandmother, Margaret at the time and 3 children - James, Peter and Margaret.  Many Bradys in the area.  I will try to find out more information based on the death records.  Thank you so much.  Peggy
