Hi there, in regards to Brophy, I'm looking for some information on the family... Not sure if it's the same one!
My dad can remember a Preston Brophy coming over to visit after my dads family moved from Dublin (Malahide to be precise) to Dudley in England.
Dad then mentioned one of the Brophys dying in a river. Well, I found Michael Brophy died in 1956, after a drowning accident, he was from Malahide. I can't find a Preston Brophy but a John Preston Brophy died in 2007, Malahide.
My dad is not sure whether the family were just really good friends with his family (good enough friends to warrent a visit over seas!)or whether there is a family link there. Is this in connection to your Brophys?
