Welcome to Rootschat Dotty  :D

It would be helpful if you could tell us where James was born and where and when he married Bridget.  I cannot find any marriage on freebmd between 1935 and 1955.

Are we talking about Ireland perhaps?

Aw sorry yes it was Ireland and they married about 1939 and that all know I can't find the marriage either. I know they lived in tuam in 1941. I'm really struggling with not being able to find the marriage I don't even know where to look

There is a public tree on Ancestry which has this baptism image linked as his:
James Christopher BRADY bap 25 Jun 1916, parents: Michael BRADY and Mary MURRAY at Terenure.

It says he was adopted 1919 and married Bridget CUNNINGHAM in 1938, though no sources are given.

There are photographs.  :)

Modified to add:
The tree also says he was born 11 May 1919, so I don't see how he could be baptised in 1916. Something's not right
