Martin gready - Grady

Julie:

The 1850 Griffiths Valuation head of household listing for Roscrea civil parish lists a Patrick Grady in Clybanane townland (there is also a Martin Grady in the same townland). Possibly the Patrick is the father of Martin. The Martin may be an uncle. Also, the Mormon Church has microfilmed records for the RC parish in Roscrea for 1810-1832. You can order the film online www.familysearch.org and view the film at a local Family History Center. Possibly you can find Grady information on this film.

There is an old headstone in Roscrea graveyard (RC)

erected by a Kate Sheedy

and has "her brother" Thomas Grady; 1885 (56)

If you find a connection with Sheedy's, Thomas might be a family member.

Hi Roger

that sounds like a very good lead. So am I correct that Clybanane is a suburb of Roscrae? I will follow up the Mormons records.  There may be a copy at the australian society of genealogists of which I am a member. How was the griffiths valuation compiled? I.e. did you need to be a landowner or could you be a tenant and still be listed.  Does it give an actual address and /or number of people in the household? Is there a roscrae family history society or such that I can make contact with?  Or I am thinking that ay be you!

kind regards

Julie

Thank you Jack.. As I get further in the Irish ancestors, I will watch out for the Sheedys

Yes, Clybanane would be considered a suburb of Roscrea but probably more rural. If you have Google Maps just enter Clybanane and it pops up. Looks like it is about three miles slightly to the northwest of Roscrea. The Griffiths Valuation was compiled from 1848-1864 county by county.The surveyors actually went out to every townland in Ireland. There is a lot of material on the Internet which provides background. Landowners and tenants were included in the survey. In rural areas no address other than the townland and parish. Only shows the head of household, number of acres. buildings and taxes due.

Not sure if there is a Roscrea History Society or something similar. I would check around. (I live in the USA).
