Hello everybody,I haven't posted anything on here for a very long while as I felt I had hit the preverbial brick wall with regard to my O'Grady/Grady Family History in Mayglass.My Grt.Grandfather was Richard Grady (b 1833) who married Alice Kelly (b 1853)....I don't have much info about my Grt,Grandmother Alice Kelly. My Grt.Grt.Grandfather was Thomas Grady (b 1833),he married Catherine Staunton (b 1825). I believe she came from Ballycogley,but that's all I know about my Grt.Grt. Grandmother.Any information about who were the Parents of Thomas Grady & also anything about Catherine would be a great help.....Thanks in advance. Take Care & Be Good

Your dates can't be correct. Thomas Grady had a son Richard at the age of 0 years?

I should point out that I believe that there is an earlier extant parish register for Ballymore than that listed on the NLI website. I am not entirely certain of this, but I would estimate the chances at over 90% that there is material predating the 1840 start of the material collected by the NLI.
Ballymore of course, incorporates Mayglass.
