Bradley/Brown Roscree

[Wexflyer]

If we then turn to Griffith's Valuation, published in June 1853 for Co. Tipperary - John Bradley is still listed in Rosemary St.   House No. 8. Valued at over 5 pounds. (This is supposed annual rental value)

While Bradley is a rare name in the vicinity of Roscrea, so not so difficult to find John and Timothy Bradley.

However, there were many Margaret Browns in the area, so I can't tell which one was potentially Francis' mother - assuming she was from the area also.

No sign of a Bradley - Brown marriage, or of a baptism for Francis, I am afraid.

I asked about religion, as Francis was born before the start of civil registration in 1864, so one has to look at parish registers and any other sources.

Luckily both the Catholic (from 1810) and Protestant (from 1792) parish registers for Roscrea exist, and are available online.

I can see what is probably Francis' father in the Catholic parish registers, but not Francis.

 - A reasonably afluent family as they gave the priest a stipend of 2 pounds.

Timothy is the only child born to this family that I can see.

Hey!

Thanks again for the information you are providing to me! I will look at it with care. I tried to access Parish records before but sometimes it's so hard for me to understand whats written on them. I really appreciate it.

I remember I saw another archive (but newer) that said he was from Belfast but, my logic says the older one has higher probability of being more accurate.

Thanks!

Was this an original document, in Mexico, referring to Francis, that stated Belfast? Or something like an Ancestry family tree, or a hint on Ancestry? I ask as there are many records on Ancestry for a Francis Bradley stated to be born Belfast, mid 1850s.

For example my grand mother marriage registration describes Francis/Frank was from Belfast. Also his death certificate says that. All these are official documents from the time. It's actually an impressive job what the Civil Registration office accomplished.

Attached is an old photo of my great grandpa (far left, next to the dog) with other folks from the British/American group living in Mexico. He specifically came to develop the railroad.

The photo says Joseph Bradley?

Here is part of the document (birth registration of one of his daughters) where Roscrea is mentioned. And his signature in it as well.

Yeah, because in every registry it says Francis/Frank Joseph Bradley Brown Brown. In spanish Joseph would be José.

Well, as it happens, there is a Francis Bradly, baptized Belfast, 1853

17/4/1853, St. Patrick's, Belfast, Co. Antrim
Francis, son of JAMES Bradly and ELLEN Brown

As you can see, the parents names don't match with other information.
Also, this date seems to fall into a gap which was not microfilmed, though there is a transcript (above).
