Looking for any info on my grandfather Daniel Brophy born around 1890, died appr 1960, Dublin. Married to Florence (Finola) Golden. He was possibly from Carlow and may have been adopted or lived in a childrens home there. I am aware that he was invovled in the Easter Rising 1916, Dublin. I am hoping to trace his parents/ ancestors. Would be grateful if anyone can help :)

Hi Brophy
Would be good if you ordered his marriage cert to Florence, if you haven't already, to see what it says about his father (you may already have this).
Have you searched the 1901/1911 census for him? This could be him in 1911 www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000007738/

With what you said about possible birth in Co. Carlow and that earlier possible 1911 entry, I wonder if this could be him in 1901 www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai000421926/

Yes!!
Thanks Monica, thats great! Would you know where I could find out what happened to his mother, father and sister?
Thanks again :)

There are a couple of Ancestry trees on Daniel which would be worth looking at for verification :) They essentially show:
Daniel Patrick Brophy, b. 1892 in Leighlinbridge Co Carlow, son of Patrick Brophy and Sarah Shaw. He is down as having a first marriage to a Janie Doyle (no dates), and two children from this marriage. Marriage to Florence Golden is given as having taken place in 1926 in Dublin. Four children from this second marriage. Daniel's death is showing as having been in Feb. 1961 in Dublin and Florence in 1983 in Dublin.
Something to work from to try and verify....
Nothing showing regarding dates or events for his parents and sister from that entry in 1901.

This could be his father Patrick in the 1911 census, in the same area as 1901 and also showing as a widower www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai001677049/

Added: Could this be sister Sarah I wonder in 1911 www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002593388/

That great Shane :)
Makes sense Brophy to start verifying from what you know for certain about Daniel and then work back, then you can be certain you are working on the correct lines.

Hi there
Daniel Brophy was my Great Grandfather, his son John was my Grandfather. I don't think we have traced back further than Patrick and Sarah on his side but we made more progress on Florences side. I've attached a photo of them.
Also, Hi Danny best wishes to you all in Isle of Man:-)

Hi there, in regards to Brophy, I'm looking for some information on the family... Not sure if it's the same one!
My dad can remember a Preston Brophy coming over to visit after my dads family moved from Dublin (Malahide to be precise) to Dudley in England.
Dad then mentioned one of the Brophys dying in a river. Well, I found Michael Brophy died in 1956, after a drowning accident, he was from Malahide. I can't find a Preston Brophy but a John Preston Brophy died in 2007, Malahide.
My dad is not sure whether the family were just really good friends with his family (good enough friends to warrent a visit over seas!)or whether there is a family link there. Is this in connection to your Brophys?

Hi my name is Deborah Brophy. Preston Brophy was my Dad. I'm from malahide and yes my grandfather was in a drowning accident in Streamstown
