Hello,
My ancestor, Nathaniel Bradley, is recorded as residing in "Tullamore" on his marriage to Elizabeth PERRIN, in Newtownbarry (now Bunclody), Co. Wexford by License in 1834.
First of all, any idea why he would be from Tullamore but marrying in Co. Wexford? There were some BRADLEYs in the area, but haven't found a baptism for him in any online records.
Second of all, any idea how I can search the Tullamore Church of Ireland registers? I can find no other trace of Nathaniel anywhere. I know he left for Canada with his wife and 5 children in 1849.
Thanks in advance!

Just because he was residing in Tullamore doesn't mean he was from there....

Thank you, I do understand that he may not have been from there.
Unfortunately, I don't live in Ireland or even in Europe, so I can't physically go to any libraries.

Thanks! Yes, I've seen all these registers - this is where I got the marriage of Nathaniel and Elizabeth and how I noticed there were other Bradleys in the area. Because Nathaniel is not in any of the registers in the Bunclody Union, I am looking for him in Tullamore.

Ahhh...didn't know that or I wouldn't have gone looking.

Where were the children born? I can't see any baptisms on those records but I have only skimmed through them.
I can see Perrins in the parish.

Hi Heywood,
I don't know where in Ireland the children were born. They were:
John Bradley 18341923
Stephen Bradley 1838
William Bradley 1846
Joseph Bradley 1848
Julia Bradley 18481849
John was born about 10 months after the wedding that took place in Co. Wexford. I haven't found any of these children in the Bunclody Union parish registers that are online. Some family members have stated they thought the Bradleys were from Queens/Laois. I am wondering if maybe the kids were born there? Otherwise, Queens and Kings may have been mixed up as lore was passed down the generations.

Marriage results for Stephen Bradley on Civil Reg..... None!

Hi Hallmark,
All the family went to Canada together in 1849, so there probably won't be any records for them after that point in time (in Ireland).

Ahh Ok, didn't know that.

There are parts of Offaly which are close to Laois, for instance the town of Portarlington is in both Offaly and Laois and Tullamore is close to Laois. Therefore your ancestors could have been born in Kings or Queens county. The village I live in is in Offaly but only a few kilometers from Kildare, Laois , Meath and Westmeath.

Hi,
Looking at the trees in Ancestry they say born in Portlaoise, County Laois.
Known at that time as Maryborough.

Hi Maggsie,
Yes, this goes down to the family lore I mentioned in my OP that said he was from Laois. There's no proof of this, and based on his marriage, I'm suspicious that he was more likely born in Co Wexford...
