My gt.gt.grandmother was Anne Tuite who was married to Michael Tevlin of Moynalty.  I believe the Tuite family came from the parish of Athboy in Co. Meath.  Margaret Farrelly, a granddaughter of Anne and Michael,  was baptised at Athboy RC Church on 18 December 1852.  Her parents were shown as Peter Farrelly and Margaret (Tevlin), and the sponsors were James Higgins and Margaret Tuite.  Sadly, Margaret Farrelly died at the age of 16 of TB in Clane, Co. Kildare.  I would like to find out more about the Tuite family if possible.  Regards,  Maggie Johns

Coming to this a bit late, but I believe that I descend from Edward Brady and Bridget McCann through their son John, who was born in 1839.  Deanna - if you are still around here I'd like to be in touch if you also descend from this couple so we can exchange information!
