Noting that there is a fifteen-year-old Mary in the household in 1871, I searched for her birth, and eventually found that it is recorded as Broadly not Brodie.

I couldn't resist taking a look at it.

Mary Broadly was born on 3 February 1855 at Wide Close, Campbeltown. Father John Broadly, labourer, 30, born Rathlin. Mother Margaret Broadly, maiden surname McKerall, aged 29, born County Antrim, and Mary was her 6th child. John and Margaret were married in Campbeltown on 5 June 1843 and they had 2 boys and 2 girls living and 1 boy deceased. The birth was registered by John Campbell, occupant.

“Broadly” was likely “Bradley” on Rathlin. The surname was found in the townland of Ballynagard. 2 farms there in 1834:

They were gone by the time of Griffiths Valuation in 1861. (Rathlin emptied during the 1800s due to over-population, famine etc). The 1803 agricultural census of Rathlin has James Bradley in Ballynagard plus John & Neal Bradley in Church Quarter.
