Brady Family Cork City
« on: Wednesday 12 November 14 14:52 GMT (UK) »
hello, I am trying to trace my husband's maternal line family tree but have very little certain information.

His mother was Nora Brady born 1917.  Her father is given as Charles Brady, Solider and her mother as Ellen McCarthy.  She was born in Little Cross St cork and had 2 brothers James (b 16/11/1911) and Michael (b 29/8/1914).

In 1911 they lived in Beechams Lane and in 1914 Broad Lane.

Charles and Ellen do not appear on the 1911 census but I have found a marriage for Charles Bready and Lizzie McCarthy in June 1911 that could be them.  We think Charles may have died in ww1 March 1917 but can't prove it.  We also think Charles may have had a brother James who also died in WW1 1916.  We cannot trace any army records to confirm next of kin.

Any help gratefully appreciated

thanks Shaun, I had come across this but I cannot confirm if it is our Charles Brady as we don't know anything for certain and the I cant find any military records that might include next of kin or address.  I've written to one of the churches in cork for them to check parish records but not sure if we have correct parish and I am booked to visit a records office next November in cork.  that was the earliest date available.  I was hoping that some brady cousins might be out there from james or Michael as we are really stabbing in the dark.
