Many thanks to Sinnan, Heywood and Dathai.  You've all been so kind and helpful.  I have been going around in circles all week. I'm very new to genealogy and its great to have the benefit of your experience. I'm going to have a good look at what you've found and hopefully fill in some more gaps.
Kind Regards

Thanks WhiteOut, a good suggestion. I have had a look there, to no avail, but I’ll look again with a little more enthusiasm.  Kind Regards

Hi OldOhioHome and thank you for your very helpful suggestions. You didn’t read my message wrong, Margarita O’Brien was the wife of Eugene Brady. Bernard’s wife was recorded as Marie, with no surname. Of course, that could be recorded elsewhere as Mary and I did find a Bernard Brady married to Mary Duff in the right timeframe but I was unable to find a definite link to Eugene, so I’ve made a note and moved on.
I have dabbled with Griffiths valuation but must confess to not really being sure what it is and so have not really searched with intent. I shall find out and have a good look.
The names are relatively uncommon and Eugene does recur in later family, my Dad was as Brendan Patrick Eugene and until now, none of my living relatives knew why. I wonder if he did, but unfortunately I can’t ask him.
I will try simply googling and I have found all of my Great Grandfather’s siblings, so I’ll do an in-depth search for each of them.
Brady is an anglicisation of O’Bradaigh. I will search for that too, although Brady seems to be the common form in all of the records I’ve searched.
It has occurred to me that the family may have been in England for a while and Eugene and/or Bernard could have been born there, so that’s another avenue.
Thanks once again for your time and trouble

Dublin / The Elusive Eugene and Bernard Brady
« on: Friday 22 June 18 04:07 BST (UK)  »
Hi there,

I have run into a brick wall tracing my Brady family in Dublin.  I was rocking along, having found my Great-Grandfather, Edward Joseph Brady, born on 11 April 1874 in South Dublin, his father is listed as Eugene Brady and his mother, Margarite O'Brien.  I found a record of their marriage on 26 December 1861 in Rathmines.  His parents are recorded as Bernardi Brady of Rathmines and Margarita O'Brien of Rathmines.  From there, the trail goes cold, I can't find a record of Eugene's birth or any trace of Bernard Brady and Margarita O'Brien.  I have searched Ancestry, Find My Past, Roots.ie., the National Archives of Ireland and Irish Genealogy.ie.  I have searched all Ireland as they may have moved into Dublin to escape the famine, but I can't find anything that definitely links Eugene to any of the Bernard Bradys I have found. 
Have I missed something?  Is there anywhere else I could look?  I'm a bit stuck and would be grateful for any suggestions offered please.

Thanks for the latest information dathai.  It's taken me a while to piece it all together, but it's great.  I can't thank you enough, and thanks also to Gaffy.

Thank you so much everyone for such prompt and informative responses.  You've all been a great help.  I live in New Zealand and have just woken up to such a lovely surprise.  I've messaged my Aunt in England and she said Granny did have a sister Elizabeth, who lived in Harold's Cross, so that gives the connection I've been looking for.  We have Granny's birth certificate and marriage certificate, so we're sure about her details but we didn't have any information for the rest of the family.  We did know that Granny's Mum died and her Dad remarried but we didn't know the name of her Mum or Step-Mum, we just knew that the family called their Step-Mum Teasy, which fits with Theresa.  I'm going to go through all this new information that you've so kindly provided and fill in some big gaps for my Aunt and Cousins.  Thank you once again.  I've been banging my head against a brick wall on this for ages.

Dublin / The Martin Family - Dublin
« on: Friday 15 June 18 01:32 BST (UK)  »
Just wondering if anyone is researching the Martin family from Dublin?  I am new to family history and have started researching my Grandmother's family.  She was Emily Martin (known to everyone as Emmy) and was born in Dublin on 8 January 1915.  I know her father's name was James Martin and I have found two Martin families in Dublin in the 1901 and 1911 census but I'm unable to make a definite link with Emily Martin. My aunt and I remember that she had a brother, Billy and a sister, Lena or Helen (we think), but that's all we know.  Emily married Edward Noel Brady in 1932.  I'm reasonably sure they would have lived in the Rathmines/South Dublin areas but I could be wrong.  I joined Roots.ie but was unable to find any of my family in their records. 
Any help or suggestions would be very welcome.
