Looking for O'GRADY/MOGGAN/HYNES

[Gensnr]

I am looking for the parents of MALACHI O'GRADY, born abt 1826, Galway. Their names were PATRICK O'GRADY and MARGARET MOGGAN (according to the family search IGI).
I have no other information about them.
He married BEDELIA HYNES (BRIDGET) in abt 1861, in Galway.

I would also like information on her parents who are,JOHN HYNES and CATHLEEN HESSION (according to the IGI)

Any help would be appreciated.

The O'Grady record you mentioned on the IGI is submitted - so would need to be verified first. To search for early parish records you really need to know the family religion and the parish they lived in.

Note : not many RC parishes have records before 1830.

see : Introduction to Irish Records

Hi

Great to hear from you.  My grandfather was John Joseph O'Grady who migrated to Australia where he married my gandmother.   His father was Patrick O'grady (born about 1862). Patrick's parents were Malachi O'Grady and Bodelia Hynes. 

Patrick married Mary Glassett (or Glassett) they had many children, my grandfather was one. The other son Ernest died in France about two weeks before the end of the war.  Mary died at the age of 33 (probably after having so many children).  Patrick remarried and had four more children.

It seems as though we come from the same family, where do you live.

I have just started researching my family, it is facination, especially my grandmother's family, there are a few skeletons there.  I would be grateful to see any details you may have.

Thanks for you response.  Lea

Hello,
You can add some more relatives to the list, I am the GG Grandaughter of Patrick O'Grady & Mary Glassett, there is also another descendant I know of that lives in Sydney. I live in North Queensland & would love to keep in touch. I have quite a bit of the background of some of the family.
Warm regards Chris

Hi   

Good to hear from you, what branch of the family do you come from, I did not know much about my grandfather's family except that he came from New Zealand and I knew one great aunt, Muriel, that used to visit us. 

I would love to get in touch.  I live in Sancturary Point, which is south of Sydney, near Nowra. 

Would you love to have a good talk to your grandparents about their history.

Would like to hear from you.

Hi Lea,
My G Grandmother was Eileen Mary O'Grady Muriel's sister. She married Charles Edward Brown in NewZealand. My grandmother Kathleen Lauretta Brown went to school in Melbourne and married Lesley Arnold Moon. I to met Muriel when I was a small child.
I would love to keep in touch with all on this chat site as it appears we are all related. Funnily I never heard that there were any other members of the family living in Australia.
Regards Chris

Hi

Isn't it funny, my mother's name was Eileen.  maybe named after your grandmother.  I only knew that my Grandfather and is sister Muriel lived in Australia.  My mother did not say much about my grandfather's family except that he was born in New Zealand.  I have a photo of Muriel and one of her sisters, don't know which one. 

The whole family thing is facinating, I never knew that my G/g father was Scottish and his father was a ship captain until I started doing my research.  (This is on my G/M side), her family is facinating, convicts, women who had a number of relationship and a number of children and a death at sea.

It is amaging how much time it takes up
