Derry (Londonderry) / Re: Bradley of Erganagh?

To all of you who have helped me with my search for the "Bradley's of Erganagh" I say thank you!!! I will be visiting in N. Ireland this Fall to visit the area. I am now certain that I have found the exact spot that my family lived on in the 1830's.
Thanks to all of you for your hints and tips.
If possible, I would like to ask more questions about my trip!
Many thanks!
Kathleen

Hello there!
I'd love to chat with you regarding the Crilly/Bradley connection in Erganagh, Ireland!
I believe that your Catherine "Kitty" Bradley Crilly is the sister of my great, great grandfather William Bradley!
Please write back soon!
Thanks,
Kathleen

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Please help ID photo, 1860's ???
« on: Friday 03 August 12 13:04 BST (UK)  »
Hello all!
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with these photos please?
I believe that this is my gggg-grandmother Mary McDonald and my gggg-grandfather Bernard Bradley in about 1864. Perhaps in Charleston SC, Greenville, SC or Jefferson County, GA.
The photos are large abt 15" x 30" and Oval. Paper. We were told these were wedding photos???
I am surprised that they are large - seems that it would be very expensive for poor irish farmers!!!
 I wonder if the clothing gives anything away to you experts out there! I would be grateful for any thoughts!
Thank you so much!
Kahtleen

Hi Bill,
Well, I suppose you have heard enough about my Bradley search, it is a fascinating puzzle. I hope that one day my little ones will appreciate knowing their history.

Funny you say that "Kitty's was previously owned by the Kennedy's!
You see, I have 3 original letters from Erganagh. 2 are dated 1863 and 1859.

In one letter, it mentions "Mr. Lawrence Kennedy & family are well..." As I see on the Griffith's Valuation map - Lawrence Kennedy's land was adjacent to my William Bradley way back in the 1860's!!! Perhaps the Kennedy family bought the land from Kitty! I wonder if any of the Kennedy's are still around! If you could ever possibly get the scoop from the T*s or anyone on Kitty's place, I'd sure appreciate it!

I suppose my next step is the microfilm...don't know that Mary would do DNA! Ha! I'd love for her to find out the names of her ancestors... hopefully one day!
Thank you very much way over the pond!
Kathleen

Thank you,

I was hoping it was that easy... to tie house numbers in 1901 to the GV map numbers in 1860... I'm guess you are having a good laugh at this!
