Hi - thank you for the info...the family said that he came when he was around 18-19....he didn't discuss his family.  on his marriage certificate it shows father John Brady, mother Mrs. Brady.   No one seems to know what her name was.   The one who emigrated in 1908 was told old I'm afraid - he would have been born in 1877....the other one who says he was born in Canada also doesn't' work as everything that James did say, was that he was born in Ireland....

Hello.  Yes - he came to Canada between 1910 - 1920 and was a very private man.  He made his life in Canada and we know his wife and their children, etc.  He always said his birthdate was July 1, 1890 and his fathers name was John.  Having a look into the birth record I found stating that his birth was June 24, 1890 and birth registration July 1, 1890. It has been the only record I have found that stated July 1, 1890.  I also thought that perhaps July 1st was actually the day that he came to Canada as that is Canada Day.  I'm looking at all possibilities, including this one with the father of Francis as perhaps the fathers middle name was actually John.   Not 100% sure how many siblings he had, or their names.  He did state that he was placed in an orphanage - the only record I have found for Ireland was with an incorrect birthdate - 6 years out and I have actually been in touch with that family and pretty much ruled that out.  Other thought is that perhaps he was in an orphanage in Liverpool before coming to Canada.  his life is a true mystery pre-Canada.

Hmmmm interesting, thank you for the info...I'm looking for a John Brady - so am hoping its one and the same.  Perhaps I'll find one of their other children in a family tree and be able to connect them

Thank you for the census.  I wonder what happened to James?  did he perhaps die?  or did he move?  the James that I am looking for was very private and didn't talk about his life.  He did say he was placed in an orphanage at a young age.  Also wondering if the Francis Brady here had a middle name of John?  Do you know how I can go about finding this?  I'm relatively new to searching - my James had said that he was born July 1, 1890 and this has been the only record I have managed to find referencing a July 1, 1890.
