Hi, This is the first time I have submitted names, that I am searching. They are my maternal grandparent. Patrick Bradley, and Mary Anne (O'Donnell)Bradley/ Patrick was born in 1864, and Mary in 1873. Both were born in Carndonagh County Donegal. They came to US in the late l800's, I am not sure they came together though. They married in Boston Ma in 1901, and lived I think in Malden, Peabody, and finally Salem Ma. They had 6 children. Sue, Helen, Margaret, Mary, Jim, & Tess(Theresa) Patricks parents were: Bernard Bradley, and his mothers maiden name was Mary McGeoghegan(McGoggin). I think that Bernards fathers name was Corneilus, but I am not at all sure of this. I am pretty sure that Patrick had at least two sibblins, Margaret, who settled in the San Jose area of California and married an O'Connor. They had several children and some of the girls became nuns I think. His brothers name may have been Philip, I seem to recall him living in Everett Ma.in the late 1950's. Marys parents were James O'Donnell, and Susan White Doherty. I know that Mary had several brothers, Neil, Philip, Hugh, John, and someone told me that there may have been a sister that died in infancy named either Maggie or Sue. I am sorry if I gave you to much information to digest at once, but I would appreciate any help from anyone out there, that may possibly be researhing any of these names here in Massachusetts, or maybe in California. (elsewhere to possibly) God Bless you all. Barbara B [email protected]

Hi Barbara, The Clonmany-Carndonagh area is my forté as that's where my parents come from, and where I live, so I'll help you out as best I can. For starters, here's the Carndonagh Baptismal records for Bernard and Mary's family (these records I have span 1847/8 to 1900, so unless they moved from the area, this should hopefully be complete - there's certainly no big gaps that suggest so): Donagh Baptismal Records Date of Baptism - Child's Surname Child's First Name - Father's First Name - Mother's Surname Mother's First Name - Townland 17 Oct 1852 - Bradly Bernard Joseph - Bernard McGeogan Mary - Keady Wood 05 Feb 1855 - Bradly Mary Anne - Barny McGeogan Mary - Gortnamarrow 25 Apr 1857 - Bradley Ellen - Bernard McGeohegan Mary - Wood Hill 17 Jul 1859 - Bradley James - Bernard McGeoghegan Mary - 18 Aug 1861 - Bradley Madgy - Bernard McGeoghegan Mary - 23 Apr 1864 - Bradley Patrick - Bernard McGeoghegan Mary - Tiernaleague Gortnamara, Wood Top and Tiernaleague are all within a third of a mile radius of each other. I'll ask my mother about Keady Wood, but I imagine it's the same place as Wood Top (it's the only wood nearby). Hope this helps, I'll see if I can route out more. Regards, Michael
