Hi Vanessa:

I research the Irish Family History Foundation's database. It contains 12,800,000 surviving rcds for abt 70% of Irish counties. Rcds are increasingly sparse B4 1840, rare B4 1800. Cos. Donegal and Derry were recently added to the database.

Note 1 - Without a KNOWN county, the chance of an ancestor's rcds NOT being in this database is AT LEAST 30%.

Note 2 - Only 1/2 of Co. Cork's rcds are in this database.

Note 3 - The RC church kept control over most parish rcds from Tipperary (north). These are ONLY available thru the Tipperary Family History Research center at a substantial fee (regardless of outcome).

Bradley is Irish at some point. There are 11,000 B rcds in this database.

For John Bradley B 1847 +/- 2 yrs somewhere in Ireland with the father's forename unknown, I found 31 rcds.

Suggest you search the 1850 and later censuses for info on this Bradley family. You need exact DOB, parent(s) name(s), and/or placename(s) to pick which, if any, are the right ones.

Google the Foundation's name to lead you to this database. Register, opt to be notified as rcds are added and browse. Pls post your search results to my genforum msg.

Hope this helps. Good luck.
