Laois (Queens) / Re: O'Grady with Dooley/Ryan connections

Hi Carol,
I have in my maternal line the Grady family of Ballaghmore... its a shot in the dark but I thought I would write to you as my grandfather Thomas O' Grady had a cousin James Grady who was known as Jim. From what I have learned from my mother our Jim Grady was probably born on the Grady farm located in Ballaghmore, County Laois. The closest town to Ballaghmore was Roscrea and Jim ended up marrying a town girl from Roscrea named Chrissy? They lived and raised their children in Roscrea one of whom was a son Thomas who moved to Clare and ran a carpet business (we think) If any of this sounds familiar I would love to exchange more information.

On the Scottish marriage record for my second great-grandfather Roger Ferrie his parents are recorded as Edward Ferrie and Mary Benar. I was able to find the family in the Scottish 1861 census which lists Ireland as the birth place of both Edward and Mary. I was unable to find much evidence of Benar being an Irish name and so obtained, in hope that it would clarify the issue, a copy of Roger Ferrie's sister's marriage record which proved to be of little help as this time the name appears to be spelled Benor. I now think that Benar or Benor might be the attempts of Scottish registrar's to spell a name that was unfamiliar to them and hope that others on the list might be able to offer some guesses as to what Mary's true name might be. For example, on another Scottish record my 2nd great-grandmothers name, which I know to be Maher, is written as Marr.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
If you would be so kind, could you take a look for any Grady's in Ballaghmore? At the moment I am stuck at my great-grandfather John Grady born about 1856 at a farm (possibly still owned by the Grady family) near Ballaghmore.
Many Thanks,
Mike
