I am busy doing my family tree and my grandad was born 1919 and his mother passed away giving birth to him and his sister and his father put them in a orphanage can anyone tell me where I would be able to get any information from I know he married a Bridget cunningham and he was called James Brady. I would be so grateful for any help thank you

Welcome to Rootschat Dotty :D
It would be helpful if you could tell us where James was born and where and when he married Bridget. I cannot find any marriage on freebmd between 1935 and 1955.
Are we talking about Ireland perhaps?
-
Aw sorry yes it was Ireland and they married about 1939 and that all know I can't find the marriage either. I know they lived in tuam in 1941. I'm really struggling with not being able to find the marriage I don't even know where to look

There is a public tree on Ancestry which has this baptism image linked as his:
James Christopher BRADY bap 25 Jun 1916, parents: Michael BRADY and Mary MURRAY at Terenure.
It says he was adopted 1919 and married Bridget CUNNINGHAM in 1938, though no sources are given.
There are photographs. :)
Modified to add:
The tree also says he was born 11 May 1919, so I don't see how he could be baptised in 1916. Something's not right

Hi yes that mine. The lovely lady was helping me. And she can't even find any information for me We tried so hard. We hit a brick wall and I don't know where to turn now
Thank you

Dates on gravestones can be wrong.

If you look on Irish genealogy, there is a marriage on 8 May 1940 in Dublin between James BRADY (motor driver) and Mary CUNNINGHAM. This is the only BRADY /CUNNINGHAM marriage I can see in the correct time frame. :-\

The only 11/5/1919 civil registration I can see for a Brady birth, is a Dublin area one for a Matthew Brady born to a Peter Brady and Catherine Murray.

Hello scotmum
Very true I am going to get a copy of his death certificate to see what that says But I don't think that will help me. Like I said I have a hit a big wall. Just want to know where I come from as mum was adopted and now I find this out about my grandad. Wo I remember as a child who was amazing man
Thanks

I can see from death index that whoever registered his death in Rochdale in 1984, gave his birth date as 11/5/1919.
As with any registration, the info provided is only as good as the knowledge of the person providing it. What they believed to be correct, may or may not have been.
You said he had been placed in an orphanage. Do you know if he lived out his childhood there, or if he was possibly adopted and had a name change?
-
Did Bridget die in Rochdale too?
There is a death in 1986.
-
Hello Scotmum
That date for him passing away sounds about right. I really don't know if he was adopted or anything My aunt as gone very quite about it so I am struggling and don't know wish way to go. I know in the 70s he lived in UK with my grandma And I know that my dad was born in galway 1941 and that all I know

Dot

I thought it might be her.
Her date of birth is shown as 13th April 1906.
Do you have her details?
There is this birth -same date to Michael and Mary Cunningham - Glenamaddy, Galway

I can’t find a death though and she is not with her family in 1911. Her mother Mary is a widow.

Hello Heywood
Date of birth April 1906
Her father was a cunningham and her mother was a reddington. Her mum had a sister called Margaret and she passed away at louth lodge when my dad was a little boy. And bridget dad passed when my dad was a little boy. It just my grandad I struggling on to
Thank you dot
-
If that is the right birth:
Strange that she is not with her family in 1911.
Bridget may have been previously married - a marriage 1940 ish would make her about 34 yrs.
Bridget’s father died before 1911.
-
Bridget’s father died before 1911.
Yes, in 1910.

All I know Is that her father passed away when my dad was a little boy and that she married a James brady in about 1939 and they lived a louth lodge tuam and my dad was born there in 1941 with his brothers and sisters and that James brady had a twin and a brother who mother passed away in child birth and his father put them in a home. I can remember my mum saying that her and my dad meet Bridget and James when they came over to England. But sadly I can't ask my mum as she passed away last year. And I was always told my grandad was a toyboy lol
Thanks
Dot

I know you are really interested in James Brady but I am sure you would want the correct information for Bridget too.
Michael Cunningham died in 1910 - see KG’s post.
Bridget is not with her mother and siblings in 1911 -see my earlier post.
Here is Delia Cunningham (Delia is a pet name for Bridget) with her sister (presumably), Margaret and her relatives Michael Burns and Margaret Redington Burns.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Galway/Dunmore_South/Lissybroder/475426/
There is the Louth Lodge connection.
Here is the death (1944) of Michael Burns, Louth Lodge. The informant, Bridget Brady, niece.
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1944/04647/4235767.pdf
Bridget was probably raised by the Burns after her father’s death.
Added
Margaret Burns death, 104 yrs - informant Bridget Brady

Hello Heywood
That is my Bridget cunningham her auntie was Margaret burns who married Michael and she passed away in louth lodge Dunmore.
I am very interested in my grandad and grandma
But my grandad I am starting to worry about about abit more with him being in a orphanage from bring a baby with some of the things I have found out about the workhouse and other home like that
Thank you
Dot

My point was that you say,
“All I know Is that her father passed away when my dad was a little boy” but it was Michael Burns who died when your dad was small.
It will make a difference in when doing your family tree.
What was James’ occupation on his children’s birth certificates?
-
I am waiting for my dad birth certificate to come and than I will be able to see.
Sorry it was me wording it wrong. I am so interested in my grandad and grandma as they are my family. But hopefully I will get some where with it
