I regret that I don't have much more regarding them.  The little I do have comes from an online Bradley Family Tree:

I have Bradleys & Fullertons in my tree, but not directly related.

My father was born in Old Mountain about half way between Buncrana & the Gap of Mamore.  One of his brothers married a Bradley and another a Gillespie.  Needless to say we have our share of Dohertys, McLaughlins, Gallaghers & McCarrons.

Marie,
Did your great grandmother, Mary Anne, have a sister, Margaret?  I have Margaret with Edward & Mary Feeney as parents, marrying John Bradley (1871-1946).  He came from Glebe in Desertegny (the Parish) & died in Belfast.  The Bradleys have an extensivie family tree website.

I have a Hugh Byrne from Ballagan married to Ellen *.  Hugh's father, also Hugh, was married to Catherine O'Rourke from Boher.  He could have been born in 1894.
Also have other Traynors, Rourkes & Rices in my tree,
Mike

If Mary Anne Fullerton was born in Buncrana on 16 Jul 1875, her parents were John Fullerton & Ellen Jackson.

If James McDaid was born was also born in Buncrana on 5 Jun 1874, his parents were Thomas McDaid & Mary Anne Kerr.

The Lighter Side / A Daunting Thought

How many forebears did you have ten generations ago?  I'm not talking about collectively.  I mean in that one generation, your Great to the Eighth grandparents? 
Think about it.  A 'normal' generation is 25 to 30 years.  So, going back ten generations takes you to 1700-1750.  Not so far.  If by some small chance you were to trace all your ancestors back that far, and, if, by some very, very small chance, there had been no intermarriage or no duplication of ancestors, you would have identified one thousand men & women.  In that single generation! 
If by some even more remote chance you were to push back another ten generations, the number of your Great to the Eighteenth grandparents increases to one million people. 
If you were to spend one minute on each of these people, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it would take up one year of your life to add them to your family tree.   
Better get busy folks!
