Just wondering if anyone has any info. On this family? They married in 1892. I'm looking to go back further if possible. I know Bridget Barrett's parents were John Barrett and Anne ? (don't know maiden name). Beyond this I can't trace...I need James Ruddy's parents and further back and more info. on Bridget Barrett's parents and further back.Many thanks

a good place to start would be the marriage cert - should give you current residences for James and Bridget, and also their father's names and occupations.
There's a possible cross match to the details you mentioned in Belmullet district as follows :
Name: James Ruddy
Registration district: Belmullet
Event type: Marriage
Quarter and year: Jan-Mar 1892
Volume : 4 / Page: 39
A Bridget Barrett is listed with the same references, so possible cross match...
see : Ordering Certs from GRO Roscommon (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,599538.0.html)

1911 Census for reference - the townland is Srahgraddy, civil parish of Kilcommon, PLU/Registration District of Belmullet :
Ruddy household (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Bangor/Srahgraddy/707193/)
and 1901, in the same townland with Bridget's parents :
Barrett/Ruddy household (http://census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Mayo/Bangor/Srahgraddy/1579324/)

based on Bridget's age on the census returns there are two possible matches for her birth in extracted records that might be worth checking out - see :
Bridget Barrett - births 1866 to 1871 (https://www.familysearch.org/search/records/index#count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Abridget~%20%2Bsurname%3Abarrett~%20%2Bbirth_year%3A1866-1871~%20%2Bfather_givenname%3Ajohn~%20%2Bmother_givenname%3Aanne~&collection_id=1584963)
If Bridget was born in the same general area as they appear in 1901/1911, then the birth with the mother's maiden surname of O Boyle, looks promising, as it's in the sub-district of Bangor, so probably related to the Electoral district of the same name mentioned on the census returns.

There's a Barbara Barrett listed in the same townland on Griffith's Valuation dated 1855.... A possible relation to Bridget ?
See : Srahgraddy townland valuation (http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch&PlaceID=926654&county=Mayo&barony=Erris&parish=Kilcommon&townland=%3Cb%3ESrahgraddy%3C/b%3E)
No sign of any Ruddy households in the townland at that time, but there are a number in the same civil parish :
see : Ruddy, Kilcommon civil parish, Co. Mayo (http://www.askaboutireland.ie/griffith-valuation/index.xml?action=doNameSearch&Submit.x=59&Submit.y=0&familyname=ruddy&firstname=&baronyname=&countyname=MAYO&unionname=&parishname=KILCOMMON)

Hi James Ruddy and Bridget Barrett were my Great Grandparents, as you probably know James lived a good age. I do have his parents, but a bit vague beyond that due to lack of records. I do have some other info if you would like to PM. All Best
