The family moved to England in the 1890s.
I would like to contact descendants of any of the above so that I can find out if we are related and more about Henry and Anne.  I haven't yet found their marriage.  Certificates state that Ann's maiden name was Brady as well.

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your message.

    I hope that someone who is connected to the family or who knows the family contacts you and helps you with ypur research.

    In the meantime,have you tried looking in civil records for their marriage record? If they were married after 1864 it would have been recorded in civil records.  Civil records are available from the General Register?s Office in Dublin. Here is their website:

    You can search the indexes to these records online at:

    Have you searched in the 1901/1911 census records to see if there were any family still living in the area at the time? You can do so here:

  • Hello, 

     

    I am trying to find a baptismal record for my grandfather, Patrick James McArdle. He lived on the River Fane in Cullaville until the family moved to the States in the mid (or late) 1920s. I need a baptismal record so that I can pursue Irish citizenship. He was born in July of 1915 so I would assume the baptismal certificate would be from around that time. If it seems like that the certificate is in the church, I can setup a time to come and search myself. I am curently in the UK so it is not that far. Pat's father was also named Patrick James McArdle and his mother was Bridget McAdrle Nee Dooley (from Galway). His family owned the local pub for many years. 

    Thank you so much for your time. 

     

    Best, 

     

    Arden
