Thank you for your reply. I wish I had more information I could share. My great-aunt,Rose Brady was living at 243 E. 78th St., NY, the address given on her postcard dated, llth Jan. 1909. She was living with an Aunt McCabe or McCall. I'm told she wasn't at that address on the 1900 Census. Do you know anything about the Anne Brady living with your gguncle Patrick McDonald in the 1880 Censusand what her age was at thattime? It's possible my great-grandfather, Patrick Brady had a sister Anne who could have been at that address. I don't know the names of any of my g-grand-father's siblings. The Bradys may have been from Co. Monaghan and possibly settled in Co. Longford.Could you check the city directory of 1882 for a McCabe or McCall at the address of 243 E. 78th? Your help is so appreciated!
