Donno,
See my response #12 earlier. The Huguenot suggestion is IMO a wrong lead. There was a William Samuel Frewen involved in a court case over an election (City Council?) in the 1850's in Dublin. He was a Relieving Officer (+/- Welfare Officer) in Meath St area (not far from Hannover Court/ Patrick St.) and was accussed of buying votes for his candidate.  What lineage have you got to date? 

When Roady (or usually Rody) is a suffix it usually is associated with the Ryan family  - the Ryan Rody's. In my Ryan Rody line I was told by my grandfather (born 1890s) that it is derived from their red hair ( ruadh in Irish.) If it is for e.g. Roddy Ryan, it is most likely that it is from Rory,  (ruaidhri in Irish) which name is anglicized as Roger.

I looked in my file of Misc. Frewen/Frewin/Fruin/Fruen 's using Mayfield as a searchword and found a single entry - James Mayfield and Ellen Maria married on 25 Jul 1830 in St John’s Limerick. Today St. Johns is the Catholic cathedral in Limerick, (present one built in 1861) ....wonder if the earlier St. Johns also was RC, which is interesting, considering that Sophia in Dublin married in a CoI ceremony. It also proves my hunch that there was a strong likelihood of a Limerick Frewen connection

I did hear a native Irish speaker could converse fluently with a native Scots speaker though there are some differences in the endings and some basic words. They have a common structure and sound shape. Interestingly I met a Welsh speaker in the 70's who learnt English in the Royal Navy and on a courtesy visit to a French warship found he had no difficulty in having a fluent conversation with the Breton sailors in both their native languages; Welsh and Breton. They were both much surprised.

Not sure that I fully agree on the Irish / Scots bit. The accent is very different, for a native Irish Gaelic speaker it is easier to understand written Scots Gaelic (SG) than the spoken version. Donegal Irish (NW Ireland) is closer to SG than any of the other Irish dialects. Anyway, the Scots are just an Irish tribe that left 15 or so centuries ago (Scotus= Irish in Middle Ages e.g. Johannes Duns Scotus Eriugena )
Breton and Cornish are closer than Breton and Welsh, Manx fits in also, but all, including Gaelic, share roots e.g. a river is  abhann  in Irish, abona in Old English, aven in Breton, awin in Manx.
My father was a fluent Irish speaker and years ago at a funeral in the Hebrides (Barra) had difficulty in conversing in Gaelic with an old man there. He did say that the guy had no teeth was not a help!
