  • Hi,

     

    In order to try and trace them back to Ireland it is important that you supply as much information as possible, do you have any dates for example?

    There were a lot of McBrides who emigrated from Ireland and the more we know about them the bigger the chance that we can find the family in Ireland

    A good source for records in the USA is www.familysearch.org

     

    Regards,

  • Hi My great great grandparents David and Mary jane McBride came from Lisburn, County Down in 1848 . They settled in Shelbyville-Shelby County and David died sometimetime before 1860 leaving Mary Jane and 6-7 children. I have tracked most of her children. There was another McBride family here but have not found the connection. Would be glad to help by sending you any info I have or will look up (I work at the local library)

     

    Would love to hear from you

  • I have two names.  One is Dennis Jerome McBride.  I know this is grandparent was born in Ireland.  He had a sone and named him the same.  There are 5 Dennis McBrides now.  The second name is John McBride and I believe he is Dennis Jerome McBride's father. 

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    These are not myMcBrides but I feel they must be related. The McBride lot is 2 down from my great grandmothers lot Sara Ann MCBride Gore in St. Joseph. Let me know if I can be of further help

  • I have an ancestor Ellen McBride who married James Judge in Nov 16 1861 (we think at St Vincent's)

    I've been studying the McBride families from Shelbyville, Indiana in the hopes of finding more information about where Ellen and James came from.  What has been passed down, is one of them came from County Clare and the other from County Mayo - but nothing is in writing.

    In my search, I've also found a Dominick McBride married a Mary McTighe Feb 8 1858

    a John McBride who married Ellen McTyge Aug 26 1861, and a Thomas McTigh who married a Bridget Tilly Nov 25 1862.  

    Dominick McBride and Maria McTighe marriage record found at St. John Catholic Church with Andrew Mcbride and Eleonor McTighe as witnessess.  As far as I can tell Dominick and Mary had children Anna born abt 1859, Thomas born abt 1860 Hattie and Dominick. Dominick Sr.died after 1870.  I found Mary living in Indianapolis, Indiana per the 1883, 1884 and 1885 City Directories at 11 Ellsworth. 

    Ellen McBride widow of James Judge lived also at the 11 Ellsworth address in 1883.  I do not know my Ellen McBride was related to your John McBride  - similarity is religion Catholic.
