Hi all,
This is something that has stumped me for some time. I believed my g-g-g-grandmother's name was Bridget Ready and that she was born in Australia to a convict, John Ready, who died when she was quite young.
Problem is - she married James Townsend - at St. Peters, Cooks River (Sydney) Australia in 1847 and her maiden name was put down as "Teady". I have a photo of her grave that looks like it says she was 60yrs when she died (not the 69 years on her certificate) and her name Bridget D?DY TOWNSEND.
I have been staring at her death certificate - which I thought said her father's name was Richard Ready. I've just realised that the surname may be "Deady". Her death certificate also says she was born in Kilkenny, Ireland and had been in Australia for 46 years (so would have arrived in 1841). It also says she was 26 yrs when she married.
So.....those facts put her birth sometime between 1819 and 1821.
I have also just noticed on Ancestry passenger lists to Aust. that there was a Bridget DADY (b: 1819) that arrived in NSW on 16/09/1841 on the [i][/i]"Gilbert Henderson" and that she was from Thomastown , Kilkenny, Ireland.
How do I try to track down her birth, with her father's name as Richard DADY? ?
I would appreciate any help!!!
Thanks,
Loz

these are the closest matches on irish-roots.ie index
Church Baptism Dedi Bridget 1811 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Deady Bridget 1812 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Ready Bridget 1811 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Ready Bridget 1815 Co. Tipperary
Church Baptism Deady Bridget 1825 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Deady Bridget 1826 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Deady Bridget 1826 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Ready Bridget 1825 Co. Kilkenny
Church Baptism Ready Bridget 1825 Co. Kilkenny
nothing that I can see for either surname nearer to 1820
The Thomastown RC records go back to 1782, not sure which CofI parish covers that area...

Civil registration of births in Irelan began 1864 so there will be no birth certificate for Bridget who was born much earlier.
Church records such as Shane has found indexed might be the only details you can find but for that period it's quite possible that the church records for Bridget's baptism no longer survive. Is there a mother's name listed on her marriage or death certificate?

Hi - thanks both of you for your help.
No unfortunately - there was no mother's name on her death certificate. I've found that with quite a lot of the certificates.
Thanks again, Loz

This may be of some help. There was a farming family named DEADY that lived
at Jerpoint Abbey Thomastown. As far as i am aware the last of the family passed away about 10-15 years ago. The house is now a guest house.
