Looking for Edward Brady

WicklowBray (Wicklow)

I'm looking for info on the Brady family

The father of the family was Head ConstableEdward Brady born7 Jan 1874 in Gort Galway - he was in the RIC and left when they were dispanded in 1922, but when WW2 started he moved back to Ireland to Bray.

Family oral history says when he died he was buried in the Church of Irelandgraveyard in Bray (11 Nov 1949).

He marriedAnnie Mulcahyand had six children

  • Edward Jr b.1906
  • Johanna b. 1907
  • Bridget b. 1910
  • George b ??
  • Albert b ??
  • Alice b ??

Any info would be great as we have lost contact with this arm of the family.

Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

We do not have a parish liaison in the Bray area. You can contact the library branch in Bray and see if they can assist. http://www.wicklow.ie/bray-library   Also, here is the link to the online Irish phonebook which is a partial list of phone users. Looks like there are quite a few Bradys in the Bray area.  http://www.eirphonebook.ie/#   Make sure you use the Residential Tab.

Was Edward stationed in Kyleglass in Clare? If so this may be him in the 1911 census, when his rank was acting sergeant:

This looks to be wife and 3 children in 1911:

Was he stationed in Phoenix Park Barracks in 1901:

I assume you have his RIC service record. That will tell you where he was stationed. He married in Clonmel in 1904 but again I assume you have that. If you search on findmypast under the Petty Sessions cases for the counties he served in you should get details of court cases where he was responsible for a prosecution or was involved. (Subscription required). I can see some likely cases for Clare in 1913 for example.
