I would be happy to pay for this service. I am interested in the graves of Owen McGrady (died 1792, age 86), Francis McGrady (died 1778 age 50) and Bryan McGrady died 1744 (age 70). I am also interested in a photo of the grave of Patrick McGrady who was buried in Old Clonfeacle graveyard, Tullydowey,and who died in 1746 at age 66. I would like to correspond with any McGradys still living in County Tyrone and anyone studying the McGradys of County Tyrone. My earliest known McGrady ancestor, Patrick McGrady, came to America in 1838 and was born in County Tyrone about 1826. His death certificate states that his father's name was James McGrady and his mother was an unknown Larkin. I found McGradys in the Caledon estate papers (PRONI D2433) in the townlands of Cadian (Patrick and Judith McGrady held a lease here from 1794 to at least 1835) and Drumnamoles, parish of Clonfeacle (Henry, Thomas, and James McGrady held leases here from 1794 to about 1829), and also a James McGrady in Reskmore, Donaghmore parish, County Tyrone. In the 1901 Irish Census there is still a McGrady family living at Cadian: John McGready, age 60, born County Tyrone, Roman Catholic, farmer Catherine McGready age 50, wife Mary Anne McGready age 17 daughter Peter James McGready age 15, son Patrick McGready age 13 son Michael McGready age 10 son John McGrady was married to Catherine McVeigh June 6, 1882 at the Eglish Roman Catholic Church and his Civil marriage record states that his father was named James McGrady--could he be a brother to my Patrick McGrady?
