I assume they were born in Ireland then went to Newcastle on Tyne. Mayo belongs to a not for profit History Foundation with birth, marriage, some death and other records. This website requires a fee which is fairly normal for Ireland and one of the few ways to get Parish information before 1864 without a trip to Ireland or hiring a genealogist. There are 38 births listed starting in 1852, none before that so probably some records are not available for various reasons. These would be parish records. Civil registration starts 1864 or a bit early if Church of Ireland about 1854. Civil Registrations: www.familysearch.org There are 11 marriages, 9 deaths, 26 census records. Griffith Valuations for Ireland took place 1846-74 depending on the county. This is used as a census substitute. These are available free: www.askaboutireland.ie property,landlord,date info. Only 2 Bradshaw's remain in Mayo: Richard Bradshaw Parish of Kilgeever, Townland Lecarrow Thomas Bradshaw, Parish of Kilcommon, Townland Doona The online current telephone directory shows 0 Bradshaw's in Mayo. Kildare, Wicklow, Tipperary,Limerick, Dublin. Annette Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
