James and Bridget last child was born in 1948.
Yes I got my dad birth certificate
It say the 17th September 1941
Parents names Bridget Brady and James Brady so they are record on my dad birth certificate.
I was told off my auntie that my Grandad was a twin to a sister and that his mum passed away in child birth.
So I'm am really struggling as I seam to be get somewhere and than hit a really big wall. I have got the death certificate for Michael burns and Margaret burns
The baptism record is on roots ireland ie

A few points (which may already have been mentioned)-
'Yes I got my dad birth certificate

'
Do you mean the parents were recorded as James Brady & Bridget Brady formerly Brady?
If 'Grandad was a twin to a sister and that his mum passed away in child birth' then his twin sister's birth should have been recorded just before or just after his entry (so, either on same page or previous/next page). His mother's death would probably have been recorded shortly after or within a few months (my great-grandmother gave birth to her last child in mid-December but died 6 weeks later in January so the 2 events were recorded in different quarters). I should also say that child was told his mother died in childbirth but an older sister who nursed her mother had a different story which was confirmed when I found the death certificate.

Hello Aghadowey
I know not all family storys are right
No her maiden name is recorded as Cunningham.
And my grandad occupation was recorded as a farmer.  And that they lived at louth lodge.
Finding it very hard to find any information for the marriage of Bridget and James. I have for no family members to ask as sadly lost my dad and uncle and my aunt won't help me. I just don't know what to do how. See I started doing my family tree as I found out my mum was adopted so I really want to know where I come from

It's confusing when you don't post accurate information. So, does your father's birth certificate say parents are James Brady & Bridget Brady formerly Cunningham?

Just read other threads of yours and I am still confused  :-\

Your dad Michael Brady was born 1941. Birth certificate gives parents as James Brady & Bridget (nee Cunningham).
James Brady born c1919 (had twin sister, mother died in childbirth & children placed in orphanage).

I didn't flow the birth lead
But followed all the others

Yes my dad was born 17th September 1941 louth lodge to a James Brady and Bridget Brady (Cunningham) they also had 2 daughters and a other 2 sons apart from my dad and one of the passed away in 1948 he was only in his 20s when he passed away. I was told that my Grandad was a twin to a sister and that is mother passed away in child birth and they father left them in a orphanage off my auntie. So I don't know if it right what she told me

Like any sort of research you need to work back step by step using available sources. Since you have your father's birth certificate you need to find the marriage of his parents. When and where was their eldest child born? Once you know that it will give you a starting point for finding their marriage.

The oldest child born was my dad and he was born 1941. When my grandparents passed away in 1984 and 1986 they had been married approx 48 years. It just upset me that my aunt won't help me and won't explain why. So I have no one to go to in my family to ask
Sorry my grandparents son that passed away was 1968
Was giving  my granddaughter a cuddle when see the last message

Just linking the marriage record in 1940 for others to see-
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1940/08839/5196297.pdf

This is the marriage that has been linked as a possible.

What was James, father's occupation on your dad's birth cert in 1941?
