New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: Reade/Lawrence/Evans Family

I recently started researching my grandfather's family, Reades of Kilkenny. My great grandfather, James Reade, had a brother Redmond, who, I believe, is your Redmond. I had no idea what happened to him, until I saw your post. Many thanks for that.
I'm sure I saw an Earnest in my search. Try looking for him back in London, where his father and most (possibly all) of his siblings were born. He might have gone to Kilkenny. If I can find him again, I'll be back.

Kilkenny / Re: Brophy Family of Kilkenny City

My grandfather's niece (they were both Reades) researched this letter from one of the Reade brothers (James, George, William, Redmond and Richard) to a Brother Joachim, who, I believe was actually Richard.
 "Your cousin Mick Brophy being at a funeral at Devonsfort on the first of May 1822 was way laid on his return home within a mile of the town and murdered by a blow of a stone. He has left a widow and a son to deplore his loss. He was comfortably situated in Flood st in a concern given him by his father. Jas and Patrick Brophy are both married in flood st and in business for themselves as is Stephen Kehoe to Paddy Mooney's daughter... your grandfather Brophy dyed the week after Mick was murdered."
I hope this helps with your search. I recently started searching my grandfather's family (Charles A. Reade, Kilkenny and Philadelphia). This letter gave me lots of names to work with, though, I haven't found much, until I found your post 😊
