Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Look up please !!

Sorry Milly,
re: 1891 census entry.  I meant of course Margaret and Annie not Ellen and Catherine.  I haven't really had time to get into it properly the last few days hence a few mistakes along the way.

Hi Milly,

I've copied and pasted the mail I received.  Perhaps that may help you somewhat. I feel that Coady was falsely transcribed as Grady in 1891 (confirmed by the presence of Ellen and Catherine).  I also thought that James could be a short version of George ??  Jan

Re: Pte. George Andrew Coady/Grady (267165) 2/7th R.Warks. Regt. Killed at the Battle of Fromelles in July 1916.

I am one of a group of researchers based around the Great War Forum: Fromelles Project. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showforum=90 Our aim is to make contact with as many relatives of the missing soldiers as possible and to encourage them to participate in the Ministry of Defence (MoD) / Commonwealth War Graves Commision (CWGC) DNA testing programme to identify the remains of the soldiers who have been exhumed:

From our researches, this man may be a relative of yours. Our line of reasoning is as follows. His mother is given as Annie Grady, b Garston Liverpool circa 1880. Annie is listed on various censuses as Coady and as Grady.

Hi Emms and Milly,

Thanks for your replies.  I found my Coady family on the 1881 Census in Vulcan St. Garston.  This consisted of Richard and Ann (Parents) followed by Annie, Ellen Katherine and Margaret. 

This ties up with the 1892 Census that Emms found for me where the family is listed as Grady, only on this one there is a James aged 6. whom i've never heard of before. 

It's this George Andrew Grady that must have died at the Battle of Fromelles in 1916.  He is the one listed Milly! 

He was my Grandfathers Uncle in that case.  So today I found a new relative, but it was tinged with sadness to realise he died so young on the battlefield.  After four girls he may also have been the only son in the family too !

I shall be in touch with the War Graves Commission tomorrow and see what happens.  They're doing a great job!

Best wishes and thanks again.  Jan

I've had a fascinating e-mail today from the Great War Forum: Fromelles Project who think my great Grand Mother may have had a son who died in action in the 1st world war.  They are still trying to identify the remains of the last 334 men.  They said their records show that sometimes she was listed as coady in the census' and sometimes as Grady.  Possible as there are only 2 letters difference and 'C'c ould be mistaken for a 'G' if handwriting isn't clear. 
My records show my G.M Annie Coady was born in 1880 in Garston by Liverpool
My question pls could someone let me know the details of Annie Grady born also 1880 in Lancashire on the 1892 cencus, especially who is listed as her family.
Also has anybody heard before of such a difference in names and also of the Fromelles Project?
Thanks for all your help - I've met some great minds who have worked things out sooo quick in the past !

Ireland / Irish ancestry
« on: Sunday 22 February 09 17:15 GMT (UK)  »
I would just like to pick some expert minds (again!!) with a question.  By means of the 1860 cencus i've gone back to Patrick b. 1821 Ireland and Mary Connelly (Carrol) b. 1815 Belfast.    i cant begin to imagine how many women carried the name of Mary Connelly in Belfast/northern Ireland in 1815.  She may have even been born elsewhere.    As the info. i have is so scant i wonder would it even be worth trying to trace their birth certs. etc. or any infom about them ?  I'm off to Belfast soon for a short break so i was wondering if a trip to the records office would be worth the time invested.  Thanks for any help.  Regards J.

A picture of the brooch for those who are interested and offered help in finding the Silver family.  I have been in touch with them and i was thrilled at their positive reaction, as they were to see the brooch.  Now i realise that somewhere down the line i will have to part with it - as of course such a thing does belong back in the family, but i'm going to ask for a period of grace so that I can enjoy it for a time, and then we'll see.   Thanks again for the help.
