Hi there !
Looking for any leads/connections on William O'Grady, Esq., and his wife Elizabeth O'Keeffe of Ballyrea. Their eldest son James O'Grady L.L.D. M.R.I.A, born July 5th 1796, who moved to Dublin, was the father of Margaret, who was the mother of Elizabeth O'Neill, my grandpa's grandmother.
Dear O'Maoilchonaire:
Many thanks for your query to Ireland Reaching Out and welcome!
The parish that Ballyrea is part of appears to be known as "The Ballagh" and the parish registers can be found on the NLI website at this link:

In addition, you may find the Irish Genealogy website which has the Church Records for the Dublin Diocese.
That site can be accessed here:
If you need further assistance, please get back to us.
The very best of luck with your research!
Kind regards,
Jane.
Thank you, I came up with a different parish name and found nothing ! Will try The Ballagh.
