Bradley family - My Family Tree

BRADLEY FAMILY TREE (1814-2017)

On 6 September 1897, Thomas Murtagh and Sarah T Bradley married in St Michael's & John Church, Dublin. Their relationship and subsequent children born from the marriage created a family connection between the Murtagh's and the Bradleys that has lasted for nearly 120 years. Thomas Murtagh and Sarah T Bradley were my grandparents and because of them, second and third cousins exist today in Ireland, England and Australia.

I have been able to trace Murtagh ancestors back to 1824 in County Meath and Bradley ancestors back to early 1820's in Dublin city.
