Morrows of Donegal Bradley area
« on: Thursday 23 April 20 15:30 BST (UK) »
Would anyone know where the area of Bradley/Bradlea is in Donegal as my Gt Grandmother is listed as this address on her marriage to my Gt Grandfather John McGrath in 1874.

A relative from Australia has asked if I know where it is and would anyone have a photo of the area?

I would appreciate any information anyone has.

Regards
Northdowngal

What was your grandmother's name, I can't see a McGrath Morrow marriage in 1874, the registration district would narrow things down a lot.

I know it was Drumholm Parish but where was Bradley?

You didn't say, so I have to find ways to narrow down the area.
Did she have any brothers or sister, trying to find a better version of the name on another record.

Yes, I thought it had to be in the Ballintra area but it’s long gone off any maps that I can share with Annette Morrow!
