In 1980 he would have been 82 - did he die in Ireland?
Who was his wife? His fathers name will be on their marriage cert
-
In what year did Rosealeen die?
The only Charles Brady who was born in Cavan SRD (Bellananagh RD) in 1898 was at Drumhirk townland on 2 April 1898. MMN McCabe #289

Thanyou all for your replies I'm very grateful for all your help Charles Brady did did in Newcastle upon tyne 1980
And that's really interesting his father was called Charles and his Mothers Maiden name was MCCabe I don't know when Rosaleen was born or what year she died only that Charles had told my Grandad who was a Irishman she was younger than him and all his Brothers went to America but we have no names I know it's not very much information he left Ireland and went to the Gorbals Scotland and got married in 1926 in Newcastle upon tyne I will get my friend to purchase a marriage certificate
Thanking you all Kindly

The story about a younger sister Rosaleen doesn't add up unless she was a younger half sister (presuming that mother re-married)?
Charles born Apr.1898
Owen born Oct.1900 died Feb.1901

Hi I'm searching for information on Charles Brady born 1898 in Kilnaleck Co Cavan Ireland
There was a Rosanne Frances Brady born 1899 in Kilnaleck but her father Patrick was a publican-

I wonder if this is the family from Kilnaleck as Roseanne could well be her. my friend has just message saying she thinks the father was called Patrick but is going to purchase a marriage cert and the mother was Mary and died tragically before his dad and he was left a widoweralso Charles Brady could have left home potato picking maybe that's why he wasn't on the 1911 Census
Thankyou

What were the names of the brothers who went to USA?

I don't know the name's of his Brothers I wish I did as it's like a needle in a Haystack
Thank you

I think you can't go by what your friend has 'remembered' to trace Charles Brady. So far they seem to have claimed he was born on a certain date in 1898 (based on death index perhaps?), a younger sister 'Rosaleen' (I have failed, so far, to find a her in census records or suitable match on Irish Genealogy for her death (or birth) using Ros* as the first name) and now a father called 'Patrick' which is a totally different family than the Charles born in 1898.
Usually one would work back through available records but since the death isn't quite clear-cut it might be better to start with Charles' marriage- if name of wife is already known- to see father's name and occupation.

Hi yes I totally agree there's no record of Charles sister Rosaleen I have told my friend she needs her Grandparents Winifred Wallace Charles Brady marriage certificate as the only information is Charles living in Newcastle in 1939 Census was born April 13 1898 but his family said it was April 2nd 1898 and his Death was 1980 and is buried in Elswick cemetery my Grandad was at his funeral but his past Born and living in Cavan with his family is a mystery that cannot be solved until she gets this information
Thanking you Kindly

Note that it was a general register in 1939, not a census.
