June, My Grandmother was a Brady and as I discovered,Brady was one of the most common names in Longford. If you are sure of the year of the marriage and of the townland in the county they were from and it matches the info you received then it could be possible they didn't have children for a long time. This was just after the famine years, it's possibe she miscarried once or twice or they could have been separated for long periods due to work locations etc. I t's not clear from your note if you had both names beforehand and the date or just one name and a time frame. All of that info will determine how accurate the info you received is. Good luck, Eileen __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
