I thought it might be her.
Her date of birth is shown as 13th April 1906.
Do you have her details?

There is this birth -same date to Michael and Mary Cunningham - Glenamaddy, Galway

I can’t find a death though and she is not with her family in 1911. Her mother Mary is a widow.

Thank you dot

If that is the right birth:

Strange that she is not with her family in 1911.

Bridget may have been previously married - a marriage 1940 ish would make her about 34 yrs.

Bridget’s father died before 1911.

Bridget’s father died before 1911.

Yes, in 1910.

All I know Is that her father passed away when my dad was a little boy and that she married a James brady in about 1939 and they lived a louth lodge tuam and my dad was born there in 1941 with his brothers and sisters and that James brady had a twin and a brother who mother passed away in child birth and his father put them in a home. I can remember my mum saying that her and my dad meet Bridget and James when they came over to England. But sadly I can't ask my mum as she passed away last year. And I was always told my grandad was a toyboy lol

Thanks
Dot

I know you are really interested in James Brady but I am sure you would want the correct information for Bridget too.

Michael Cunningham died in 1910 - see KG’s post.
Bridget is not with her mother and siblings in 1911 -see my earlier post.

Here is Delia Cunningham (Delia is a pet name for Bridget) with her sister (presumably), Margaret and her relatives Michael Burns and Margaret Redington Burns.

There is the Louth Lodge connection.

Here is the death (1944) of Michael Burns, Louth Lodge. The informant, Bridget Brady, niece.

Bridget was probably raised by the Burns after her father’s death.

Added
Margaret Burns death, 104 yrs - informant Bridget Brady

But my grandad I am starting to worry about about abit more with him being in a orphanage from bring a baby with some of the things I have found out about the workhouse and other home like that

Thank you

My point was that you say,
“All I know Is that her father passed away when my dad was a little boy” but it was Michael Burns who died when your dad was small.
It will make a difference in when doing your family tree.

What was James’ occupation on his children’s birth certificates?

[Dotty13]

I am waiting for my dad birth certificate to come and than I will be able to see.
Sorry it was me wording it wrong. I am so interested in my grandad and grandma as they are my family. But hopefully I will get some where with it
