Teresa With Irish Blood in Me Veins Report 30 Apr 2019 12:31

Daniel Brady one of my relatives married a Bridget Gurren and I've been tracing the Gurren Family who mainly lived in Dundrum Ireland.

Bridget Gurren Born 5 Apr 1880 at Fernbank Churchtown. Dudnrum Rathdown
Father Patrick Gurren, Coachman. Mother Catherine Hannon

Marriage 25 June 1906 at RC Holy Cross, Dundrum, Co. Dublin (Rathdown)
Daniel Brady, 22 Bachelor Hairdresser of Dublin, Father Daniel Brady Car Driver.
Spouse Bridget Gurren 23 Spinster of Dundrum Father Patrick Gurran, Labourer.
Witnesses: Patrick John Fitzgerald Munden & Lizzie? Gaffney

They had a daughter Mary Brady
Unknown Female Brady born 1st Apr 1910 at Rotunda Hospital. Father Daniel Brady Hairdresser & Bridget Gurren.
(Ellen Mary written in the last column as Baptism Name “30 Jun 1964” )
So it looks like someone was looking for her and put forward the information in 1964.

I have found her siblings of Bridget Gurran but the Surname of Gurren has been transcribed as Guiran, Gunian and other variations!

Re the baptism of Franciscus Jacobus Gurren posted above by Maddie -

the image can be seen on Ancestry.
It's a register of baptisms from 1854 to 1901 (although under the heading "Ireland, Catholic Parish Registers, 1655 - 1915 " ) .

The record for Franciscus Jacobus is NOT the correct one.

However, on looking at the 1891 records in that register I found:

Francis James Gurren
Baptism: 20 Jan 1891.
Parents: Patrick Gurran and Catherine Hannan
Address: Rosemount.

It doesn't seem to show up if you search for it specifically on Ancestry, but it's at the bottom of page 228 of the record that shows up if you search for Franciscus Jacobus..

(Franciscus Jacobus is on page 43. No date, but clearly a great deal earlier than 1891.)
