Searching for Information on John Grady and Bridget Hayden Grady - Ballyfinnegan

RoscommonBallintober (Roscommon)

Hello, I visited Ballintober, Roscommon, a month ago and visited St. Bride's Church where my ancestors were baptized.  I know that John and Bridget Grady had a daughter, Ellen, baptized in 1868, and Catherine, in 1874.  I know that Bridget moved to Taunton, MA with 3 children.  Ellen did not come to Massachusetts. I think there was also a Thomas Grady (brother). John Grady had died and was buried in Ballintober, but I am unsure where?  Bridget was my mother's great grandmother.  I want to find more information about John Grady and where he is buried.  I am also wondering if there are any Hayden relatives from Ballintober or Roscommon who are related to Bridget.  

Thank you, Laurie in MA (USA)

Hello and thank you.  I knew there were 2 other children.  I saw their names on graves on the internet, but I could not put it all together. They must have emigrated to Taunton, Massachusetts in USA because I saw their names on the graves there.  (My mother was born in Taunton, MA).   A cousin in England also told me about Patrick and Thomas, but she did not know the birthdates, so this is great!!  She also told me that John Grady, the father, was buried in Ballintober, but I could not find his grave when I visited one of the cemetaries.  

I appreciate your help.
