Dates on gravestones can be wrong.

If you look on Irish genealogy, there is a marriage on 8 May 1940 in Dublin between James BRADY (motor driver) and Mary CUNNINGHAM. This is the only BRADY /CUNNINGHAM marriage I can see in the correct time frame.  :-\

The only 11/5/1919 civil registration I can see for a Brady birth, is a Dublin area one for a Matthew Brady born to a Peter Brady and Catherine Murray.

Hello scotmum

Very true I am going to get a copy of his death certificate to see what that says But I don't think that will help me. Like I said I have a hit a big wall. Just want to know where I come from as mum was adopted and now I find this out about my grandad. Wo I remember as a child who was amazing man

Thanks
Dot

I can see from death index that whoever registered his death in Rochdale in 1984, gave his birth date as 11/5/1919.

As with any registration, the info provided is only as good as the knowledge of the person providing it. What they believed to be correct, may or may not have been.

You said he had been placed in an orphanage. Do you know if he lived out his childhood there, or if he was possibly  adopted and had a name change?

Hello Scotmum
That date for him passing away sounds about right. I really don't know if he was adopted or anything My aunt as gone very quite about it so I am struggling and don't know wish way to go. I know in the 70s he lived in UK with my grandma And I know that my dad was born in galway 1941 and that all I know
