Please help me find a birth record for my great-grandmother, Margaret Brady and a marriage record for her parents, Patrick Brady and Rose Sexton.
Margaret was born between 1864 and 1869, female, Roman Catholic, unknown occupation.
Born in Tullyvin, County Cavan
Married in the U.S. on May 20, 1886.
Parents names were Patrick Brady and Rose Sexton.
Margaret had no children born in Ireland.
Siblings were Rose Brady born 6/21/1870, Patrick born 9/30/1872, Ann born 5/1/1868, and Phillip born 3/18/1864.
Other possible relatives were William and George Brady.
Thank you.

I was able to find civil birth records for four children of Patrick Brady and Rose Sexton. They lived in Carricknashoke townland in Larah civil parish. The RC parish of Larah has late starting records around 1876. The parents were married before civil registration started in 1864 and I don't believe there is a church record available. Also, I did not find a civil birth record for Philip. My guess is he was born before 1864 when civil registration started and there would be no church record.

Rose, the mother, died April 3 1901. Her daughter Mary Fitzpatrick was the informant. Mary was probably born pre-1864. Rose was a widow.
See first record. https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1901/05726/4615851.pdf
Here is Mary in the 1901 census http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Cavan/Larah_South/Carricknashoke/1048408/ She was a widow with a number of children.

This appears to be the death record for Patrick in 1877. Informant was Bernard Brady. No indication that he was a son or brother.

Wow, Roger, you found them all. I'm happy to know there really was a Rose Sexton as I had trouble finding proof that her maiden name was correct. Ancestry and FamilySearch records were not too helpful. And I agree that you found Margaret's birth record even though her mother's maiden name was different. At least her siblings' records had the right info.
Thank you for finding her parents' records as well. I failed to mention that Margaret had a brother Bernard who stayed behind in Ireland. My mother had reported bothers Bernard, Patrick, and Philip. My bad. Sorry.
Since you overachieved, could you also help find more info on Margaret's husband, James Duffy? I had written a separate post on him but didn't get a helpful answer from the other two County Cavan volunteers. Ancestry.com has his birth year of 1865. His U.S. naturalization petition reports a birth date of May 4, 1865. Perhaps no other details exist, but I thought ask anyway.
