FARRELLY/BRADY

[Elwyn Soutter]

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 ,  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.

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.
