RE-OPENED Brady Family Census Help
« on: Thursday 07 October 10 23:07 BST (UK) »
Hi there, I am so confused by the absence of someone on the census also,
trying to find the following family:
Brady   John   48   1863   Male   Head of Family   Co Cavan   Ruan
Brady   Rose Anne   20   1891   Female   Daughter   Co Mayo   Ruan
Brady   Thomas Sylvester   17   1894   Male   Son   Co Mayo   Ruan
Brady   John   15   1896   Male   Son   Co Mayo   Ruan
Brady   Winifred   7   1904   Female   Daughter      Ruan
this is how they appear on the 1911 census but I am unable to find any of them on the 1901 census, i have searched each name, tried variations and searched all counties and can't find them. please help.
maybe i am missing them as i have been looking for ages now - RoseAnne Brady is my grandmother but I am trying to track down cousins also.

In 1911 the family are in Ruan Commons, Ruan D.E.D., Co. Clare- birthplaces are given as counties and Ruan not included:

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Had another go at finding the family and got one possobility with an idea of why they are so difficult to find in 1901 but I could be totally mistaken. Any idea of who, when and where John Brady married?

Hi again,
Yes and No:
John Brady 1862 - 1939
Married Mary Burke and had 5 children
Roseanne (1890 - 1958)
Alice - dates unknown
James 1892 - ?
Thomas 1893 - ?
John 1895 - ?

I do not know when they got married but I do know that she died quite young and he then married a Mary Anne Miller (whose maiden name was unfortunately also Burke) - she died in childbirth in 1903 (Child born was Winifred).

Alice, James, Thomas and John are with their granny Bridget Burke in Cappaduff east, Mayo in 1901. There is a John Brady an RIC constable in Fermanagh who was born in Cavan but he is living with his wife Maggie!

Good chance that your Rosannne was Rosanna Brady, a visitor in the house of Patrick and Ellen Farrelly in Carraroe South in Galway. Patrick was an RIC constable. A Patrick Farrelly married an Ellen Burke in the Ballinrobe Registration district in 3rd quarter 1889. So Ellen was possibly/probably Rosanna's aunt.

Hi there,
Thank you so so much for putting all this info together.  Things are starting to make sense now and it's put me in the right direction to my next piece of information. 

My mother received some money, a minimal amount i must add, back in 1997 due to her being the 2nd cousin, twice removed of an alice farrely.  Alice's nephew, a Patrick Raymond Kelly died intestate on 1st April 1984 - he was a bachelor with no blood relative living apart from his Aunt, Alice.  I have been trying for ages to figure out how the farrelly's came into our family and i now see that it must be through Mary Burke's (my mother's grandmother on her mother's side) sister marrying into the farrelly family. 

Thank you again for your help and I also had success on the other side of the tree today when I managed by pure chance to make contact with descendants of Thomas Brady, a brother to John.  What a crazy day it has been.
