Roddy Family

Pam:

I found the 1873 marriage index record for James Roddy and Bridget Rattican. ( You can ignore the other spouse names. They were for other marriages recorded on the same page). You can write to the GRO for a copy of the marriage record which will show the names of the fathers of the bride and grrom and where they were living when the marriage occurred. www.groireland.ie Fill out the GRO form and provide the year of marriage, registration district ( Boyle) and the volume and page number ( 4 and 81). Costs around 4 euros.

By the way, my grandmother was a Norah Roddy from Roscommon but she lived near the town of Ballaghaderreen.

Hi Pam, my ancestor Francis Conry and his wife Brigid (nee Dempsey) are listed in the tithe appointment books as neighbours of your ancestors. Their son named Luke was baptised in Elphin in 1811.

I am wondering if you have been successful in finding out more on the Roddy family.
Lisphilip, Scurbeg & Tartan are all villages on the same road, now called Tartan Road. appx 3miles from Ballinameen village.
I was born in Tartan & I am familiar with the area. If you had no success I can try and make enquiries on your behalf.
I know for certain that this family name is no longer based there.
Hope this is of some use to you.
Una.

Una / Umallia, I am eager to learn more about this family.  I believe the James RODDY that married Bridget RATTICAN is my maternal great uncle.  This line happens to be my proverbial brick wall. James had a younger brother, Thaddeus T RODDY, which is my great grandfather.  We believe he may have been born about 1862.  Thaddeus emmigrated to Washington DC about 1880.  His grandchildren and great grandchildren still reside in the Washington DC area and have never known anything about him or his family.   We hired a professional genealogist and was able to locate two other brothers of James and Thaddeus: 

John RODDY (1840-1915) and Martin RODDY (1856-????).  John and their father, Thomas RODDY (1815-????) were last known to live in Kiltybranks.  John's wife: Bridget McDONOGH (1842-????).  Thomas' wife: Mary CORRIGAN / CURRIGAN (1813-1868). 

  We have several family members with DNA testing online in hopes of finding cousins and learning more about their history.

Hi Pam :

Just seeing this again. I have since found out that Matthew Quinn's first wife was Margaret, daughter of John Conry/Conroy, whose brother Judge James Gervé Conroy, my grandfather's grandfather

Catholic Native:

Hi! James Roddy and Bridget Rattican/Redican are my ggg grandparents. They lived in Lisphilip, Kilmacumsy. If your great grandfather Thadeus Roddy was James's brother, then he was the son of Luke Roddy and Catherine Deane of Lisphilip. 

There is further info about them here:

The siblings of James that I know of were Thomas (1840-?), Winifred (1849-1905), Bridget (1851-?) and John (1854-1917). 

Hope to hear from you soon, 

Alicia 

Hi I am trying to trace the history of my father Peter Paul Roddy born in 27/6/1931 in Remy Roscommon he had 11 brothers and sisters his father was called Martin roddy any info appreciated  not sure of his mums name it's not on his birth certicate but could be Mary Conway or similar 

many thanks

Julia Duffield was Julia Roddy

My name is Elizabeth Franzen. Thaddeus Timothy Roddy is my mother's grandfather. He lived in Washington, DC. Married Minnie Rowe and had 6 children. My mother, Helen Louise Simmons Bausch, was the daughter of their oldest daughter, Louise Roddy. Would love more info since Thaddeus actually raised my mother and she adored him.

Hi Pam,

My Grandfather Luke Roddy was born in Ballinameen, Co. Roscommon and married Bridget McLoughlin, her married name. They lived outside Elphin and had four children, Austin my Dad, Louis, Vincent and Bridie. 
I have heard all of the above names at one time or another, my guess is they were Brothers.
