Hi Nancy and Patsy, I was so interested to read your posts. Thanks Nancy for making me use for the first time the Dublin heritage site http://www.dublinheritage.ie/. I was delighted to find they have some records from before the start of civil registration. I too, have a Reddy in my family history; my gt-gt-grandmother Julia Reddy. She was born ca1830, so would have been a contemporary of Dennis Kelly and Mary Reddy, or possibly even a relative. Julia's parents were Joseph Reddy and Mary Matthews. I don't have any information on possible siblings of Julia's. Julia married firstly a fellow called Doyle, when she was apparently only 16, with whom she had a son called Patsy. Widowed young, Julia secondly married ca1852 my gt-gt-grandfather Thomas Levey with whom she had five children: Fred, Mary, Julia, Elizabeth and Joseph. Thomas Levey's parents were Joseph (or perhaps John) Levey and Mary Corbally. This Mary's sister (Elizabeth Corbally according to family sources but Louisa Emilia Corbally according to Burke's Peerage) married the 9th Earl of Fingall. This is according to family lore from my grandmother. If anyone knows anything of any of these people I would be very glad to hear more. Names researched, all in Ireland: CAFFREY, CORBALLY, DIXON, GAYNOR, LEECH, LEVEY, RAYMOND, TIGHE, WOODLOCK. Debby Raymond, Queensland, Australia.
