Searching for Brazil family of Philipstown, Offaly, King's Co., Ireland

Hi

I would like to apologise for my extremely late reply and a belated thank you to Margot for your reply and the information you kindly provided.

I have started my research again and now believe that Ellen (Helen) (Mary) Brazil is/was my Grandmother. Other than that and the information provided by Margot and what is shown below I have absolutely no idea as to her, her life, London arrival, upbringing, area, family and photos. Can anybody help me in breaking down this brick wall? Any help will be appreciated.

I do have some family photos which I found on Ancestry of Thomas, Mary, Margret and Alice.

Despite the name variation I believe the surname spelling is Brazil

Many thanks in advance

Steve

You should be able to see Mary's civil birth record at the free site irishgenealogy.ie.

Also look for Mary in the 1911 Irish census.

Hi Patricia

Thank you for your reply and for my extremely late one.

I have visited Roots Ireland (thank you) but I am still completely clueless regarding my Grandmother Helen. Especially her education, when she left Ireland and her life in England/London leading up to the the birth of her son (my Father). I cannot find any marriage despite it showing on my Fathers birth certificate. This is the brick wall I am and have been stuck at for decades.

Can you help with this?

Many many thanks

Steve
