Searching for my Granny, Ellen Brady, born 15 Oct 1879 in Castleblaney, Co. Monaghan

Monaghan

I have baptism entry dated 16 Oct 1879 for Clogher parish (see attached). Ellen is my father's mother and her family moved to Parkhead, Glasgow when Ellen was very young. Eleen's father was Michael Brady, b. 1836 and Ellen's mother was Catherine "Kate" Hughes b. 1852.

I'm a novice at this and would appreciate any advice/guidance please. I'm coming over to Castleblaney from Glasgow for a few days from Monday, 14 Jan 2019. How do I locate Ellen's birth certificate?

I appreciate your help and wish you a happy 2019.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul

The irish genology website is great, it a free site and is easy to use

I found Ellen Brady's civil birth record on there

The census records are also great to look at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/

If you have any questions, just ask

for reference the Catholic Parish where Helen/Ellen was baptised was Muckno (the Diocese is Clogher).

The place of birth shown on her baptism and the birth register link provided by Eliza is the town of Castleblaney.
