There may be a connection here. My grandmother Ellen Boyle definitely had a relative we visited I think in Phila named Winifred Brady. My gm was one of 13 children of Thomas Boyle. Thomas Boyle and Richard Boyle were founders of Sacred Heart Catholic Chuch in Camden NJ. My gm had siblings named Anna May who married a Cleary and had a daughter who became Jane Frenoy. Jane is my godmother and she was the one who took me to visit Aunt Winnie. Ellen also had a sister Winnie and one named Mattie and a brother Francis (Frank). Those 4 all lived to be 95. Ellen was born in 1871, married Benjamin Franklin Gillespie at the age of 16 and had to stand up at Sacred Heart and apologize for marrying a Protestant. She died in 1966. She and BFG spent their married life in Atlantic City, NJ where he was a conductor for the Pennsylvania Railroad for many years. He was also an alcohoholic. They had 9 children, many of whom died as babies. My father was John Edward "JAck" Gillespie. He also visited Winnie Brady. Do you think this is the same Winnie Brady you're asking about? The Boyles definitely came from County Mayo. Let me know. Deni Gillespie The other names you mention are not familiar to me.
