Hi
For a long time I have been trying to research my family tree and especially that of my Grandmother. After many years a few dead ends I think I have had a break through and believe that I am related to the Brazil's of Philipstown, Kings County now Offley.
I never met my Grandmother and did not know my father but through research have found her name and family (i hope) Helen Mary Brazil born 1st August 1880.
Her parents were John Brazil and Eliza Massey and lived in Back Road Philipstown.
It appears that Helen had two brothers Thomas & Patrick and four sisters Kate, Mary, Margaret and Alice.
I would welcome any help and information.
Many thanks
Steve

Steve, have you seen the 1911 Census of Ireland?
There were 9 births and 8 living at that time, also they were then living in Molesworth Street. Philipstown is now known as Daingean.
National Archives: Census of Ireland 1911In one tree it says Eliza (Elizabeth) died in 1933, she died in 1938, see the attached. I usually put a title by the 4277554 number, but it won't let me!
If you use this site you will see marriages up to 1944ish deaths if they are there and births up to 1922ish (these get updated when 100 years has passed.
Welcome to Irish Genealogy - Irish Genealogy
Daingean is listed under Tullamore in the above site.The next Census was in 1925, we are all waiting for the release.
It's just matching the names to marriages or deaths, I will watch for any updates from you.

Hi
I would like to apologise for my extremely late reply and a belated thank you to Margot for your reply and the information you kindly provided.
I have started my research again and now believe that Ellen (Helen) (Mary) Brazil is/was my Grandmother. Other than that and the information provided by Margot and what is shown below I have absolutely no idea as to her, her life, London arrival, upbringing, area, family and photos. Can anybody help me in breaking down this brick wall? Any help will be appreciated.
I do have some family photos which I found on Ancestry of Thomas, Mary, Margret and Alice.
Many thanks in advance
