Bradys from Ireland to New York (?), 1873
I have a Margaret (or Maggie) Brady who was the younges tof 11 children of John P. Brady of Donegal; any info beyond the following appreciated.
She came with at least the following in 1873(according to the article), probably on different ships, and settled in Canton, Ohio:
Father, John P. Brady (grave says 1815-1875)
Mother, Margaret Brady (Grave says 1824-1891)(pretty sure - could be John's 2nd marriage as article from 1911 about her death doesn't say "11 children of John and Margaret," only "11 children of John P. Brady")
Herself, born between 1861 (earliest I've found) & 1869 (mentioned in 1911 obit.)
Kate Brady, born 1860s, still living in Cleveland in 1911
Anna Brady, married name Fitzgerald
Mary Brady, married named Dyer
William Brady (lived in Wheeling in 1911)
James Brady
Patrick Brady (both of Canton, as were Anna and Mary, in 1911)
Not sure when exactly they came over, on what ship, and I'm not finding birth info in the Donegal link as I don't see this place mentinoed in the article, or Killybegs, which I think I saw it was near. Any hints?
No ships listed with 11 Bradys at once - insert Brady Bunch joke here :-) - but I've learned since that it's not uncommon for families to have split up, perhaps so some would survive if a boat sank, or just so the dad and a few could establish themselves.
There is a John P. Brady I remember seeing who was born the right year, who came through new York in 1873, the summer I think.
BTW, the article mentioning my gggrandmother's accidental death can be found on page 1 9and 13) of the Canton Repository, Apr. 21, 1913.
Also, I'll mention we did find a Margaret Brady born "about 1867" but that birth year floats a lot, and she couldn't have been a servant girl at 13-14 in another's house...could she? 16 I could se...but then again, in 1880, maybe.
Oh, one final thing worth noting, I did check Boston/Phildelphia/Baltimore records, they didn't have anywhere near the Bradys from 1873 as New York; not enough of the right names/ages for it to be right.
