Hi,
Thank you for your message.
Have you tried looking for information on the family in Church records?
Most Catholic records are held locally. One website which may be of help to you is the irishtimes. Here they give an overview of what records are available in specific parishes. For Bray check the following link:
For Church of Ireland records check http://ireland.anglican.org/about/42 and http://www.nationalarchives.ie/.
You could also do a search in the census records of 1901 and 1911 here: http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/
Some other websites which may help you are:
The National Library of Ireland http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx
The National Archives UK ? genealogy search: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/looking-for-person/
Family Search : https://familysearch.org/
I have also passed this message on to one of our volunteers in the area who hopefully will be able to assist or advise you.
Kind regards,
