Hello maryloug,
saw your post for bradshaw info,dont know if there is a connection but i am also trying to find info on Patrick Bradshaw born mayo Ireland 1850 according to 1871 England Census and those following, his Father Richard Bradshaw born Mayo Ireland 1819 (same census). Richard rented a house and gareden on Clare Ireland and three children were born there John, Richard and Mary (1858 abt.)There were other Bradshaw Families living on Clare Island at the time and may well have been relatedbut have not been ab le to find any information. I have learned that Bradshaw was not a common name in Ireland so maybe there is a link somewhere if only it can be found. Would appreciate anything you may find and I shall return the same courtesy.
