Orford - BRADY Baptism 1750s

[jonwicken]

Hi I am trying to find the origns of Sarah Brady/Grimwood, who was buried in Orford in 1792 aged 36. She had married her husband Thomas Grimwood in Orford in 1781. His family were from Easton and so I assume she was from Orford.

There are many burials of the Brady family on the NBI in Orford, but no baptisms. I assume these have therefore not been transcribed there. However it would seem the Brady name goes back quite a way in Orford.

So if anyone has access to Orford baptisms I would be most grateful if you could have a look for a Sarah Brady born c1755-1756.

Many thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon

I found a baptism in the Orford parish register for Sarah Brady but am now wondering if this is your Sarah because the dates don't fit.

Sarah d/o Thomas and Bathsheba Brady baptised 15th Jan 1745/6 (the year started in April 1746)

Some siblings:
Another Sarah baptised 24th May 1743
Christian (d/o) baptised 30th Sept 1741
Charles 29th Jan 1737/8

Some children of Charles and Christian Brady:

John 29th Aug 1736
Mary (d/o of Charles and Xtian) 11th July 1731

I wonder whether one of these two couples had a Sarah baptised ~1755.

Sorry not to have given you a definite answer

Hi Ann,

Thanks so much for looking at this one for me too.

I have seen that a Sarah Brady married in 1770 in Orford, so I assume this is the one you have found.

Also 'my' Sarah Brady/Grimwood had a child in 1791 and it would be pushing it, I think, for her to have been born in 1745/6.

As the Brady family go back quite far I would assume she was from this branch, but was perhaps simply born out the area and then returned with her family.

The digging continues. Thanks very much again for looking.
