Laurence and Henry Gerrard

Conor:

I can't help you with descendants of Henry Gerrard. I did find the 1901 census record for Laurance and the 1901 and 1911 census records for Anne and children. Henry died in 1882 and Laurance died in 1902.

Hi Roger,

Many thanks for the reply as I do have them as I wonder about their children still living or not?

That I want to contact them if they are living and if you know how to contact thier living or not?

Hope that it will be good surprise for my mother!

Regards,

Conor

Hi Conor

Roger & I are a tag-team

There is a record of the birth of Henry GERARD in Meath 1839 on www.rootsireland.ie/ so maybe the descendants spell the name with 1 r?

The Irish phone book (free online) has 183 GERARDS living in Meath today.

It also has 9 in Drumcondra, DUBLIN and 21 in Ardee Louth.

Maybe you could print off a letter and send it to as many of these as you can you might get a response or two that answer your questions.

Hi Col,

Many thanks for this information as I did have copy of Henry Gerrard and yes it is one r as it seems.

Thanks for give some information on Eircom numbers and I will write the letters to them this week.

Hi Pat,

Yes this is right place of Drumconrath, Meath where they were born there around 18th century.

Thanks for telling me about the local newspapers as I will write to them this week.

Hi 

I am seeking any information on the brady family of drumcondra parish, in the townland of corstown co meath.  James brady was a tenant farmer on the aclare estate or demense.  he was listed on the parish census of 1876.  he was married to Elozabeth Fay? and lived in corstown with his sons: john matthew patrick peter james and his brother.  james was aged 80 and his wife was 60. his brother was 78?  his eldest son john joined the RIC and on the 1901 census matthew is listed as the head of the family.  matthew is still on the 1911 census.  I would love to know if any of the family stayed in meath or where they went.

Any information would be gratefully appreciated.

Yours sincerely

Cora Marshall born Brady
