Hi Linda
Thanks for getting in touch. I am looking for any information either going back or forward.
What I have already going back is that Patrick was born on 7 April 1867 in Kingstown, Dublin. Son of John Brady and Julia Kavanagh who were married at St Mary's Haddington Road on 16 September 1866. They hadCatherine b 1870, no trace found, Andrew b 1872, my grandfather, John b 1873, who it is thought went to America but no trace found, and George b & d 1877.
Patrick married Maria Snow on 7 August 1888 in Ballsbridge, Maria (Mary) was born 26 June 1865 in Dublin and was baptised a Catholic at the same time as she was married. Her parents were Robert Snow & Catherine Murray, Catherine's father was Daniel so it is possible that Catherine had been married to a Fortune as well as a Snow.
It is believed that John Brady and Julia Kavanagh died before the children were old enough to be self supportive and they were placed in a home but I have not been able to confirm this although I believe that Julia died on 9 April 1882 in Ballsbridge.
You mentioned getting certificates. I did a search for a possible marriage for Leo Patrick Brady, son of Patrick and Maria, and found that a person of that name married in the second quarter of 1942 in Dublin North, unfortunately there were four females and three other males listed for the same date and location. How can I determine who maried who without getting certificates for all of them? Also how do I get a certificate?
Al the best
Mike
