Researching John FARRELLY b.c.1806 and his wife ANN or ANNIE MARY (nee BRADY) b.c.1807. They migrated to Australia, 1st recording of them in Aust. is their son Michael's marriage in 1856. John & Ann's children were, Michael b.c.1834, Thomas b.c.1836, John b.c.1838, Patrick b.c.1842, Bridget Mary b.c.1848, Peter b.c.1849 & Edward Francis b.c1851. Presume they were all born in Cavan. It is possible Ann, nee Brady, was related (a sister) to Fr. John BRADY b.c.1800 Cortober, Casteltara. There is also a Margaret BRADY born before 1800 who may fit into the Brady side. Fr. John BRADY became the 1st Bishop of Perth in 1845. He trained in Paris, and there was a Farrelly Burse there so possible this is all family connected. Also have a record of Fr.John BRADY travelling with a nephew, Farrelly on a trip to Aus.
Can anyone help with tracing these families origins, or their travel to Australia.? The Farrelly's kept alternating the male names so it is quite likely that the lst John's father was Michael Farrelly. Any help appreciated.

Thanks for your input. As yet, I haven't found a Queensland connection but as I can't verify exactly where my Farrelly's are from in Cavan, I guess it's not impossible that these families are related. The Farrelly christian names are so similar.
The Brady connection in Perth has been my most positive find and there is a Philip Farrelly connected there, so you never know.
Your Farrelly family must have arrived about 1882 where I think mine is around 1843-1856, can't find that out either.
Thanks so much for your reply, it may eventually help in some way.
-
hope it helps. the name is so unusual, originally I hought it sounded Italian, that there's bound to be a connection. Let me know if you get a break through.
The connection is through the SWEENEY family.
-
Bit of trivia for you - My Farrelly grandparents lived next door to Irish migrants around 1950's. They pronounced the name like Furley (nice Irish accent needed there). However, I had a laugh at your Italian guess, as other Italian neighbours called them Furelli's (hope you can hear that Italian accent in there). My Uncle's name was Anthony, otherwise known in Italian as Tony Furelli. The Farrelly name was often mistaken for Italian and we all had our Irish/Italian versions of our names.
Just like your James & Annie, my grandparents were a Farrelly married a Smith.

You could write a book on the pronounciation and recording of Irish surnames! I have had similar problems with the McILVANEYs, KERNAGHANs, McKENNAs, SWEENEYs. The only Irish family I haven't had a problem with is the STRAINs (who are conneted to the FARRELLYs by marriage). I also have some FARRELLY family photos which were sent to me from a FARRELLY in Oz. My all time favourite is the name of my wife's gt grandmother.
Agnes SIMMONS KERMATH NICKLE. She was actually christened Agnes Fitzsimmons Kenraghan NICOLL!!

Wow, nearly 4 1/2yrs since I posted here but today I found my Farrelly/Brady connection on the National Library of Australia Newspapers.
14 Dec 1872
FARRELLY-KELLY On the 30th October by special licence at St Peters & Paul, Gawler, by the Rev. Father Quinlan,
Edward, youngest son of the late John Farrelly., Esquire of Farm View House, Mallala, and nephew of the late
Most Rev. John Brady, D.D. Lord Bishop of Perth., WA, to Agnes, second daughter of James Kelly, Esq., Evanston, Gawler.
This confirms Edward FARRELLY's mother Ann was a sister to Bishop John Brady of Perth.
It also confirms a connection to the Farrellys and Brady's in Perth as they too had a nephew connected to Bishop J Brady.
Really worth waiting for and quite an unexpected find,
I'm chuffed,

I was researching my Bradys a while back and found some information that turned out to be wrong for my lot. My Brigid Brady was a McGinnis who married a Michael Brady. Here are the details that might be of use to anyone researching Farrelly/Brady:-
Philip Brady married Brigid Farrelly of Copnah on 5th February 1823 in Lurgan, County Cavan. Both were RC no other information provided apart from that the witnesses were Luke Brady and Brigid Fitzsimmons.
John Brady of Cornaslieve was baptised RC on 22nd May 1830 in Lurgan, County Cavan. His father was Michael Brady and his mother was Brigid Farrelly. The godparents were Peter Brady and Brigid Brady.

Hello, I was so excited when i saw this as I have been trying to get a connection between an Alice Farrelly, a spinster who passed away in england and was a 1st cousin once removed of my mother, Evelyn Hegarty. Her mother's maiden name was brady from Cavan and i thought the connection was on her father's side, Creighton, but now i think it may be on the mother's side, so confusing but great fun trying to get a connection. Hopefully it will all fall in to place for me shortly as i have just joined this site. thanks again.

the name is so unusual, originally I though it sounded Italian,
It won't help you with your research I am afraid, but you might be interested to know that the Irish poet and general entertainer Wm Percy French (who lived in Cavan for some years) wrote a reasonably well known poem called "the Four Farrellys". You can read it on the attached link.

I just noticed this posting and although I am not able to provide any information - my mother gave me some photos this week which she has just received from Ireland. The people in the photos are John Sweeney on an ass and cart and a Bill Farrelly on a tractor.
I do not know when they were taken but my father said he knew John Sweeney in the photo.
I am unsure when the photo was taken but thought it was worth mentioning in case it is useful.
My parents told me the photo was taken outside Bradys in Killeshandra.

My first time on chat so here goes.
I have been researching my Brady line for some time but always seem to come to a dead end.
I came across the Farrelly /Brady line. Bundaberg. Similar details to the Brady I am looking for:
My Bradys:
John Patrick Brady. b1831-32 (said to be born Campbelltown, Sydney)
married: Mary Willavoys (Willawoys, Willavoyce) 11/4/1860 Eskdale, Queensland
John Patrick Brady died: 25/2/1872 in Ipswich (at the age of 40) after a tragic accident while droving stock on Cressbrook station in Queensland.
After John Patrick Brady died his widow & their 3 children (Edward 11, Annie 10, Frederick 8) , moved to Bundaberg.
I have very little, if none any , information prior to 1860 on this family.
While reading Farrelly/Brady line I noted names of relatives that my Bradys have , eg: Ann, Annie, Patrick,Peter & Edward could I be on the right track?
-
Hi there, welcome to roots chat - all my Brady's were all born in Ireland. I found that they all had common first names also which makes it difficult to track down but wish you luck with your search even though I am unable to offer any connections.

I am descended from John Patrick Brady and his wife Mary Willaroyse which my mother *, daughter of Annie Catherine Campbell (nee Buss) (b: 21 November 1887 in Bundaberg, Queensland; d: 13 June 1977 in Bundaberg, Queensland; burial: Bundaberg cemetery; aged 89), daughter of Annie Catherine Buss (nee Brady) (b: 29 June 1862 in Ipswich, Queensland; d: 21 November 1887 in Ashfield, Bundaberg, Queensland; burial: Bundaberg Cemetery), daughter of John Patrick Brady (b: 1831-32 in Campbelltown, Sydney, New South Wales; d: 25 February 1872 in Ipswich, Queensland age: 40; married on 11 April 1860 in Eskdale, Queensland) and Mary Willaroyse (Willavoyce, Willavoyse, Willavoys, Willawoys,) (b: 1837 in England; d: 4 April 1910 in Bundaberg, Queensland; burial: Bundaberg Cemetery; marriage: on 11 April 1860 in Eskdale in Queensland), daughter of Frederick Willavoyce and Mary (unknown surname).

Hi Ross & Shascr,
I still haven't got back any further with my BRADY research so can't help you link any of these BRADY families together.
As Irish families seem to name their children after parents, grandparents etc the names keep recurring through the generations.
Because your John Patrick named his eldest son Edward, it is quite possible that would be John Patrick's fathers name or Mary Willavoys fathers name.
Not positively but possibly.
Bishop John Brady has just been reinterred at Perth and there are family trying to find his parents names. If something can be found it may start to connect the Brady families in Australia. One family thinks the parents were Edward and Rose but I haven't seen any proof of that.
Besides Bishop Brady b.c.1800 having a sister Annie b.c1807 there seems there is another sister Margaret b.c1781. Quite a gap between so you would presume there are quite a few more siblings.
Margaret BRADY b.c.1781 m. Ireland, Patrick John FARRELLY b.c.1781 and their children were:-
Owen b. c1811, Bernard b. c1812, Margaret b.c.1815, Terence (known as Fred) born 1819, (he settled in Perth, WA), John b.c.1824 and Marion b.c1826.
Regards,
Sashar

You have probably found the connections by now.
Terrence Farrelly came out with his uncle Bishop Brady with Dom Salvado (Subiaco and New Norcia)fame. He initially was a catholic deacon, however he taught for a while and devloped into an entrepreneur and became a successful businessman in Perth. There are direct descendants still in Perth. The Catholic Archdiocese failed to keep this connection up to date, placing a great emphasis on the Brady connection when the reinstatement of the Bishop was undertaken in 2013. John and Frank are a common names in the Farrelly family.
