Hi Andrew -
Yes as you say too many Bradley's!!
Just reading over your previous messages -and I hate to throw cold water over you Fallagloon death cert but -
I just had a quick look at the Griffiths Valuation for Fallagloon which is a decidedly larger townland than Kirley and I found the following Bradley's:
Dominick, Mary, Paul x3, James x3, Tho x2,Bernard x2, Sarah x2, Edward x2, Elizabeth, Alexander x4, Patrick x6 John x2, Francis x2.
(Just as a note: many of the Bradley's seemed to share a portion of land and work in a family "rundell")
Fallagloon is very near St Patrick RC Church in Glen.
I have also done a brief check to see about the other Francis' nearer Ballinascreen (Draperstown) and there are four on Griffiths. 2x Corick townland, 1x Patrick St. Cahore and 1x Moyard townland.
So I guess my question is - seeing as the marriage entry seems to co-roborate your family names, what indication do you have that the Death certificate of a Francis in Fallagloon is "your" Francis? I would have thought that if Francis and M.Ann O'Neill married in Draperstown more than likely they were from a townland nearer that Church. There must also be many Francis Bradley's who had a son called John.
On face value I guess I am saying I would feel a bit skeptical about the Francis in Fallagloon being yours.
If you feel fairly confident about the Fallagloon Francis there may be a clue on Griffiths which may help you -
Often more than one person in a townland had the same name. Surveyors distinguished between them in a variety of ways like "senior" and "junior" or they also used the custom of adding the father's forename after the name such as John Smith (Patrick) i.e. John son of Patrick Smith, or an occupation or physical observation (e.g. tall, short) To distinguish women with the same name their maiden name might be put in the brackets.
For the Fallagloon Francis' one has after his name in brackets (Corker) and one (Bee). They were both tenants of the Earl of Stafford, Sir Rbt. Bateson & Lady Louisa Trench. I have seen their name alot, so like the Drapers Company must have been fairly big land holders.
Does this help
or add more confusion!
Hope it helps - I have been lost and dazed for awhile now.
