That smell, clean and sharp, accompanies the cold that always chills me to the bone. Listening to the noise around me, beeps and buzzers, with lots of muffled voices. Again, I tried to open my eyes.</p><p>White, blinding light, so bright, I just have to close them again.</p><p>If I could just focus in on one voice, maybe I can work out what’s going on. Children’s voices, what a beautiful sound. Makes me think of my children, but they are not children anymore. All grown up, and moved away. How much I miss them, and how much I love the little moments I get to spend with them when they visit. Who are the children?</p><p>White, blinding light, I just can’t seem to see.</p><p>Two girl’s voices, chatting, they seem close. Wait a minute, they are chatting about me. I know that story. I remember that day. Suddenly, I feel a lot warmer, the sunlight on my face and the colours of the world flood in, as if I was there again. For that moment I felt young again, and with that I could hear their voices clearly, my two daughters, sitting here but journeying back in time to a moment that reminded me of the love I have for them.</p><p>White blinding light, I need to see them and tell them, I do remember!</p><p>What happened, their voices are gone? Still I hear other voices. This time I feel a hand on my hand. Funny, I can tell it’s an old hand but the touch is as soft and sweet as a child’s. Then I feel a pressing on my forehead. A kiss.</p><p>“It’s ok Pop, all your children are here. It’ll be all right if you let go now,”</p><p>I know that voice. Oh, how I want to talk to her and tell her how sorry I am for the heartache I caused. Still, she is here by my side. Focusing on her hand holding mine, my thumb tracing the now deep wrinkle lines that age and time helped form. A warm ray of light, takes me back to that day, I stood by her, listening to the preacher delivering his lines. What I remember most of that day was my young hand holding her sweet little fingers, as I slid on the ring that would make her my first wife.</p><p>White blinding light, why can I not open my eyes, just for one moment to look on her face?</p><p>It seems like all day my eyes have been shut, but the travels I’ve had, out into the world and back again, have made me so tired. The wonders I’ve seen and joy I have felt, but now I feel fear. My heart is racing but I’m so, so tired. I know I need rest, and a sleep would do me good, but how do I close my eyes to sleep when they are already shut?</p><p>White blinding light, let me open them, so that I can close them to sleep.</p><p>Then came a voice of an angel. I know it’s not true, because that voice was taken from me so long ago. If it’s only in my mind then why can I feel her presence? Nothing will stop me from opening my eyes, to see her, to hold her, to be with her one more time.</p><p>White blinding light, but not so bright that I can’t open my eyes.</p><p>Colour rushing in all at once, it’s hard to focus, but before it becomes fully clear, sounds and smells tell me where I am. Bees buzzing, the spring flowers in full bloom, a rainbow of colour. The clashing sounds of the lorikeets and twenty-eights in an orchestra of bird calls. I’m now sitting, looking out on my garden. On the table in front of me, are my favourite gloves, covered in soil. My ashtray has me mesmerised at the little trail of smoke, rising from a half-finished cigarette.</p><p>“Do you want a coffee Bill?” Came a voice from inside the house.</p><p>“Yes,” I replied, without hesitation.</p><p>Was this a dream or real? It felt real. Everything in me wanted to jump up and run to the house and embrace Joan, but was she really there? Faintly, as if an echo, I could hear a distant voice.</p><p>“It’s ok Pop, let go, rest,”</p><p>With that I took a deep breath in, then exhaled, what seemed the most peaceful of breaths. The sounds of that other world faded away and I could see my surroundings clearly. The door behind me opened and I looked up at Joan’s smiling face.</p><p>“I’ve got bickies or chocolates to go with the coffee. Which one?” she asked.</p><p>“Why not both?” I replied.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Reflective Statement</strong></p><p><em>Dedicated to my grandfather,<br /><a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I35&tree=Brady2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Frederick Brady 1925-2013</a>.</em></p><p>I remember standing by his bed on the day he died, thinking, can he hear us all making such a racket? My aunties were laughing and telling funny stories. His small hospital room was overcrowded and I was waiting for someone to tell us we had to leave, be quiet or take it in turns to see him.</p><p>With this story, I tried to consider what he may have been thinking if he was hearing the commotion. No one was sure how long he would hold on, but it did give us all time to chat with him. One of the last things I said to him before leaving the hospital was that it was ok to let go.</p><p>Staying in the first-person perspective, and having only his point of view, without opening his eyes gave me a new way to express things.</p><p>Before I could drive the 40km home, my father called to tell me that Pop had passed away. I’m not a religious person, but I like to think that in our final moments, we dream a lifetime and end it on a high note. This course, has helped me find a voice that I can use to fill in the blank spaces between the facts, in the family history with my interpretation of what might have been. </p><p>I’m sure, we all have unfinished business and things to atone for but in the end, it really is about how many people our lives intertwined with, and the hope that they remember we lived.</p><p> </p><p>Darryl Brady<br />Student ID: 425182<br /><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/arts/diploma-of-family-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Tasmania</a><br /><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/arts-law-education/study/writing-the-family-saga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HAA104 Writing the Family Saga</a><br />Assessment Task 3<br />Short Narrative<br />Length 750 words.<br />Reflective Statement 250 words.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Feedback</strong></p><p><a href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-1.png"><img decoding="async" fetchpriority="high" class="aligncenter wp-image-3149 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-1.png" alt="" width="744" height="883" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-1.png 744w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-1-253x300.png 253w" sizes="(max-width: 744px) 100vw, 744px" /></a></p><p><a href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-2.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-3150 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-2.png" alt="" width="778" height="263" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-2.png 778w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-2-300x101.png 300w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/BRADY-DW-Grade-2-768x260.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 778px) 100vw, 778px" /></a></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?feed=rss2&p=3101</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>6</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>A Family Saga</title> <link>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3094</link> <comments>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3094#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Darryl Brady]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 11 Aug 2017 05:25:41 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Brady Family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daily News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brady]]></category> <category><![CDATA[convict]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DNA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[HAA104]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UTAS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writing the Family Saga]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3094</guid> <description><![CDATA[  John, James, Frederick or Frederick Joseph “Hey you there, What’s your name?” “Brady,” “Brady what?” “John Brady, Sir,” Was this the first of many lies, my great, great grandfather would tell?

His statement, at the time of his arrest, would hinder research and conceal his true identity for more than one hundred and sixty years. Even the constabulary didn’t really know who they had in custody. Sometimes John, other times James, but always Convict 3944. They had their man, and regardless of name, he was being transported.</p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p>“Brady, James Brady!” called the nurse, looking around for a response.</p><p>She could see four men, sitting cross-legged on the floor, each waiting with a look of bewilderment, as if their minds had shut down. Beside them stood a guard, appearing not to care if they responded or not. Slowly, he leaned forward and gestured to one of the men.</p><p>“You, get up!”</p><p>“Oh, sorry. Yes, that’s me,” came the reply.</p><p>This wasn’t the first time a name had been called, that went unanswered until prompted. Now, thousands of miles away from anyone that could confirm his true identity, he would need to accept that this was him now. Uncrossing his legs, his hands clasped the cold steel that anchored him to this reality. Getting to his feet, he wondered if somehow his real self was still at home in England, living the life he dreamt about every night. Slowly, he shuffled towards the waiting nurse.</p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p>“In the case of, stealing from a dwelling at York, John Brady, I find you guilty.” said the Judge.</p><p>Again, this alter ego John had stuffed up. “The real me would never have done the things they said I have done. If only I could get back to who I was always meant to be, and be free”, he thought to himself as he was led away from the dock for the second time in his life. A new convict number of 10021 would now identify the man, even if the man could not identify himself.</p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p>“Do you Mary, take Frederick Brady, to be your lawful wedded husband, so long as you both shall live?” he heard the preacher say.</p><p>He stared at the face of beauty that stood in front of him. Did she know who she was marrying? So many years as John or James had him struggling to grasp this new reality. Was this the alias needed to escape his criminal life, or the last attempt of a trapped man, to re-claim the true identity he had concealed for twenty years?</p><p>“I do,” she replied.</p><p>Whatever his name, ten years was all he would have with Mary, his wife. Death would cement his story in time, a saga of the truth and lies, chiselled in cold stone. Even his children would never know who he really was.</p><p style="text-align: center;">***</p><p>You may look at AKA and think, Also Known As. I see a lesson in frustration and incorrect assumptions, that built a mystery, just waiting to be solved.</p><p> “So how was this solved?” I hear you asking.</p><p>By 2015 the family tree had grown, each branch extending back way before its arrival in Australia. All, except the Brady nub, cut short and surrounded by an impenetrable wall. Assuming the recorded history was correct, John had been convicted in Liverpool, transported to Western Australia, then had taken on an alias to marry and escape his past. Adding to that, the family hand-me-down stories had him believed to be Irish, hailing from County Cork.</p><p>It was then, I tested my DNA. It took two years, of staring at the countless matches, each slowly connecting the branches, but one stood out. Not an exact fit, but with all of the confusion that surrounded our convict, was this another anomaly that we would have to accept? The maternal line of this one match, had a name that would change the family forever. Braddy, that’s right double-d, another variation to add to the long list of AKA’s that made up that man we all descend from.</p><p>Frederick’s extended family were looking for their missing ancestor. Now he had a name, and a home in the heart of London, where his family still live till this day.</p><p> </p><p>“<a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I624&tree=Brady2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Brady, Englishman 1833 – 1886</a>, do you hold any more secrets?” I asked out loud.</p><p>“Maybe…” I swear I heard someone reply.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Reflective statement</strong></p><p>Looking at where this fits in the broader family history, from my perspective is easy, Brady is the family name and solving this line was my biggest mystery. I have for twenty years focused on data and the solving of the puzzles laid before me, but dissemination of that data has been my downfall.</p><p>As we have learnt in this course, facts are not a compelling story.

This was not how she pictured this day.</p><p>Despite his drinking, Fred was a good husband and had been a great father. Today, he would have been by her side, supporting and encouraging, which is more than she could say for the rest of her family.</p><p>The pain she was feeling now, with its constant coming and going, mirrored the relationship that they had endured. Holding onto the pain seemed the only way to hold onto the past. Without it, Mary knew that she would be overcome with fear, realising she was all alone.</p><p>Without thinking, she had again given herself a moment to contemplate putting her children in the orphanage, just until she could get back on her feet. Her body shook as she pushed the thought out of her mind.</p><p>“How can I even think that?” she wondered.</p><p>Again, she felt the blood rushing from her hands as they tightened on the sheets. Struggling to breathe, she took an almighty gulp, as she gritted her teeth, and focused on the pain in her lower back. Crunching forward, she let out an almighty scream,</p><p>“You son of a bitch.

Mary and her children were born here. Frederick Brady was not, and with his death died the connection and information to our past.

Looking up at the sign above the door, Irwin Arms, she pictured her husband’s face.</p><p>Not a place that carried good memories, but as she wiped the tears from her eyes, she noticed the red dust had made a wet pattern on her scarf. Looking at the outline, she wondered if she could stand here all night and not go in. Still, she pushed on toward the door. Opening it, she was hit by the familiar smell of stale beer, that had so many times accompanied her husband home on his late nights.</p><p>Suddenly, she was startled, as her eyes focused on a beer glass sitting atop the stool that normally carried the outline of the drunken soul, she had so many times travelled to collect.</p><p>Before she could settle herself, a familiar harsh voice cried out.</p><p>“Quiet boys, Mrs Brady’s ere!”</p><p>She watched as one man grabbed for the glass, lifted it and wiped the seat. Then, hand outstretched he offered the beer, and gestured her towards the stool. At the same time, another male figure appeared beside her and without warning, took her hand, as if to assist her over.</p><p>All at once, the day had caught up with her, the dim lit bar started to fade to black, and she felt her legs give way beneath her. As she collapsed on the floor, she heard another voice say,</p><p>“Fred would have liked his funeral!”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Reflective Statement</strong></p><p>Looking at the fact that <a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I624&tree=BRADY2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Brady</a> was known to have been a heavy drinker, I would assume that the pub may not be a place his wife would have liked. That said, they lived in a small outback town and the only pub may have also stood in for the location of the wake. Not sure if I have been descriptive enough to get the feel of an outback pub. I think this reflects the relationship between Mary and Frederick in a positive way but in the overall story shows that Fred was not always the best of men.</p><p> </p><p>Darryl Brady<br />Student ID: 425182<br /><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/arts/diploma-of-family-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Tasmania</a><br /><a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/arts-law-education/study/writing-the-family-saga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HAA104 Writing the Family Saga</a><br />Week Four E-tivitie<br />Familiar Faces, Familiar Places<br />Length 250 words.<br />Reflective Statement 50-100 words.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Feedback</strong></p><p>Hi Darryl,<br />I enjoyed reading your piece.

I am so jealous. I am chasing my own great grandfather, whose contradictory records drive me bonkers. I have just resorted to DNA with no luck yet but it is encouraging to hear that, despite the slow process, there is hope. You certainly hooked me. I liked the way you began the story with the action and the person and then moved into your own voice. In so many ways, well done!<br />Regards<br />G. Wallace</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Thanks G.,</em><br /><em>Yes, DNA can break down walls, but it is just another tool in the kitbag. You still need to do all the hard work. Good luck with it. I do need to stop and savour the moment a little more, seems I jump straight into looking for the next puzzle to solve. So, this course is helping me re-visit, and re-live the euphoria of the find.</em><br /><em>Regards</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p> </p><p>Hi Darryl,<br />I have always been a bit suspicious of DNA tests. I was interested to read your success story, congratulations. But I do note that it took you 2 years to find an answer after you had the DNA data. The sellers of DNA tests promise us instant results.<br />Regards,<br />P. Carter</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Yes P.,</em><br /><em>I also was a bit suspicious at first, but I now feel it is a most valuable tool and it would add to any tree a new option for checking and confirming traced lines. The results you get are instant, and the ethnicity report is interesting, if nothing else. You still need to look at each matching result and work out how it fits with you. Some are obvious but others take a lot more work or even the waiting for more people to test to start to see the patterns. The person I connected with for my convict was listed as private for a long time with no tree. One day he added a tree. Then it took him 6 months to reply to my contact requests. After that, he was happy to work with me and gave me shared access to his results. This gave me the information I needed to connect to four more DNA testers on the same line, that locked in the result. Easy, for someone that will not give up.</em><br /><em>Regards</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?feed=rss2&p=3077</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>No Touching!</title> <link>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3069</link> <comments>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3069#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Darryl Brady]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 08 Aug 2017 14:49:08 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Brady Family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daily News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Free Family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brady]]></category> <category><![CDATA[convict]]></category> <category><![CDATA[HAA104]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UTAS]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Writing the Family Saga]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3069</guid> <description><![CDATA[  Is it me, or is closeness only an illusion in our family?

Nearing fifty, with a beautiful wife and daughter, did I get my aloof nature from my genes or the environment that nurtured me?</p><p>It has been almost twenty years since my grandmother <a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I7&tree=BRADY2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Betty’s</a> passing, and although this started the journey of discovery into the family’s history, it has not brought me any closer to most of my living family.</p><p>It seems that one of the most standout features of our family is, that you would never be as close to your parents as the day you were born. From that moment forward you were destine to drift off in your own direction. Babies get all the attention, seen by aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins, but as you age, you take your place as one of the forgotten souls that make up our tree.</p><p>Maybe, as a convict ripped from his homeland, our forbearer <a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I624&tree=BRADY2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Frederick Brady</a> started this trend when he died leaving his wife <a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I625&tree=BRADY2008" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mary</a> and young children destitute. <sup>1 </sup><sup>2</sup> If Mary could talk she would tell us, she had no choice, but putting her children in the orphanage before going off to re-married would start a trend of abandonment that would affect almost all descendants to come.</p><p>Disowning, disconnecting and disassociating would become some branches of the families modus operandi, whilst on other lines you may be considered lucky to have stayed in touch but with a “<em>No Touch</em>” policy.</p><p>It’s a shame that affection is infectious to the touch.</p><p> </p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-3070 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/No-Touching-hands.png" alt="" width="375" height="360" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/No-Touching-hands.png 375w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/No-Touching-hands-300x288.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px" /></p><p> </p><p><strong>Reflective Statement</strong><br />I feel the importance of family connection, but my initial reason for starting was because I felt no real connection. Finding out that we descend from a convict and looking into his tragic story, I realise that our family had lost so much due to our disconnected nature. I think at this point I felt it my duty to record as much as I could, in the hope that it would mean something to someone, someday. I found it difficult to put my words and feelings down on paper, at the same time trying not to offend others. I think feedback about how it may make family members feel to read it, may change my way of writing in the future.</p><p> </p><h5><em>1.

However, knowing your amazing database, it has possibly allowed you to flourish in the less emotional computer era. So many of us have benefited from your collection with your generous patience correcting errors we find, which others have sent you, plus your willingness to add our data which can be shared with others.<br />Yes, you are polite but this is a blessing in an age of careless manners which frequently offend.<br />Convicts and their families often suffered unimaginably difficult problems which following generations fail to understand if they do not know their ancestor’s past.<br />Keep writing Darryl, lots of cameos so that you can develop one to a larger story.<br />M.Mansfield</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Hi M.</em><br /><em>Good to see you on here, and thanks for the kind words about my web site.</em><br /><em>DNA had recently helped me solve the pre-Australia history of my convict. I’m wanting to tie that into the Saga. Should be fun.</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p> </p><p>Darryl, you are touching and connecting by doing your research and writing your family story. I find a kind of therapy in doing family history because of the way it helps to give meaning to so many things. I hope it works that way for you too. You certainly tell this story well.<br />Best wishes<br />S. Moore</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Yes S., I also get a kind of therapy out of it. Thanks for reading my story.</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p><p>Darryl, you have touched on a subject that I suspect is not often discussed. Not all families are close, even families who live in the same district. Nurture or nature? I suspect nurture – being the product of an environment perhaps. S. is right – you are touching and connecting by doing research. The age of digital communication has shown me that I have an amazing world of family background which I previously knew very little about. Large families, loners, the wealthy and the poor, the lucky and the unlucky – they are all in there. I suspect that many of them were not as warm as the ‘touchy feely’ people of today and that going about their ordinary day to day activities consumed most of their time. Thank you for an interesting topic and good luck with your writing.<br />C. Crawford</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>C., I’m sure you are right. Not all families are close. </em><em>I have made many wonderful connections with people over the years of researching. That alone, will keep me researching.</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p> </p><p>Darryl, I felt your story. That’s a huge compliment by the way. The purpose of art and communication is to feel and you have achieved this completely. Well done. Excellent work. Very original too.<br />B. Ireland</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>I do take it as a compliment and it’s wonderful of you to tell me so, B. This writing stuff, isn’t all that bad after all. Looking forward to seeing if I can tease more feelings out of the family history.</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"> </p><p>Hi Darryl<br />I could have written that Reflective Statement myself. I am not close to my living family and so search for a connection with the past. By honouring my ancestors I feel that I belong to them, and therefore, someone. Perhaps my new born grand-daughter will be interested in reading the stories I leave behind and appreciate all the referenced research. Sadly, families today are not what they once were but by writing about our ancestors we bring them closer. Keep up the good work.<br />Kindest regards<br />D. Katon</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Belonging… to someone. I get that feeling.</em><br /><em>D., your grand-daughter will be one of the lucky ones. Recently, my sister caught the family history bug. She has started on her mother’s side and it’s great to have another family member with an interest. Thanks for reading my story.</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p> </p><p>Hello Darryl,<br />Your very personal piece of writing touched me greatly. There is much research about the Therapeutic benefit of writing and I hope that putting these somewhat painful thoughts on “paper” may provide some of that benefit to you. As for the writing itself I feel that you changed your “voice” half-way through the piece….by using “you” as opposed to the narrative you began with which seemed to come from “I”. I hope this makes sense. I find that sometimes in spoken language when a person finds it difficult to “own” a particular feeling they will switch to “you”.<br />This aside, I feel honoured to have read your piece.<br />K. Marshall</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Thanks K.,</em><br /><em>Yes, I need to watch that change of voice. Not being much of a writer, I think the lessons on the right way to write, are helping me a lot. Oh, to remember my school days of many moons ago!</em><br /><em>I’m glad you enjoyed it.</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p> </p><p>Hi Daryl,<br />What a strong story. I gathered from it exactly what you said in your reflection, and empathised with it very strongly. Especially with my husband’s family… he started researching before the digital age…. and discovered something fishy about his grandmother’s birth… she had a different father, perhaps than her siblings. My husband was told to mind his own business by his Uncle back in Scotland… as if they didn’t share the family! Said uncle is dead now…. and there is nothing written anywhere to explain whether great grannie had an affair with a train driver!<br />but back to your piece.. I think there needs a ‘be’ between ‘to’ and ‘married’, fourth paragraph. a bit small criticism, but what I have to offer thank you again for this strong piece<br />N. Black</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Thanks N. for the correction and the feedback. Lots of hidden secrets in my family, I’m sure.</em><br /><em>Regards</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p><p>Darryl<br />I very much enjoyed your story, and I find I have the situation in one of my families. Some families I am researching are so warm and welcoming and I feel I have known them all my life, not just the last 20 years of it. Another line is of the as you say, no touch variety. There seem to be a million secrets, and they are being very well guarded. Your story is great and thank you for telling us, lucky you in having a convict to journey with. Well done.<br />J. Kenward</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>Thanks J., </em><br /><em>I have enjoyed this course, and coming back to this first statement about how my family history journey started, reminds me that it’s an ever-changing path.</em><br /><em>Regards</em><br /><em>Darryl Brady</em></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?feed=rss2&p=3069</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Uploading DNA to GEDmatch</title> <link>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3048</link> <comments>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3048#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Darryl Brady]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 07 Aug 2017 11:32:31 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Daily News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ancestry]]></category> <category><![CDATA[DNA]]></category> <category><![CDATA[GEDmatch]]></category> <category><![CDATA[getting started]]></category> <category><![CDATA[newbie]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=3048</guid> <description><![CDATA[  So, you have your DNA results from your testing company but want to do more with them!

How do you go 46 years and not have a conversation about what affects you both on a daily basis?</p><p>For the last eighteen months I have been on two family history journeys: Using <a href="https://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/browse_dna_tests.php" target="_blank">DNA</a> to break down walls in my research and doing my University of Tasmania, <a href="http://www.utas.edu.au/arts/diploma-of-family-history" target="_blank">Diploma of Family History</a>. So it is no wonder that my father, who has been harassed by me constantly during that time, showed signs of complacency when asked to be my guineapig for an interview. Still, he never complains and is always there for me.</p><p>Knowing my father, a story teller with a knack for humour, this would be a fun interview, was my mindset. So you can imagine my discomfort when, using my new interview skills, I pushed the buttons that brought him to tears and revealed to me much more than first expected.</p><p>When asked about morning breakfast he recalled;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“Usually it was bread and milk because of the old man being an alcoholic. We had no money, so we used to go and get the day-old bread for the ducks and then put milk with it. Hot milk and sugar, and eat it, for breakfast. It was a hard life. When you go hungry…”</em> <sup>1</sup></p><p>At this point the interview was stopped for a 5-minute break.</p><p>I know my father’s history, but had never seen it in this raw, open and honest way. He opened up about growing up with a father that was an alcoholic. I heard the forgiveness in his voice as he talked about witnessing his father dishing out the beatings that his mother endured. Then to go on and tell of his love for both parents, each in their own way. He described his hate of school and the challenges he faced every day, blaming a poor, dysfunctional home life and the fact that he truly felt his mother or a sibling would die from starvation on more than one occasion.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“School, I hated it. I hated school, because I couldn’t read properly or spell… I still can’t read and write properly”</em> he said.<sup>2</sup></p><p>Dealing with his lack of schooling through his working life had him in constant fear of needing to write something, or fill out a form. Telling me about how he would drive to clients for deliveries and that he would need to see the name on the side of the building, before he could fill out the docket.<sup>3</sup></p><p>When the interview ended and the recording stopped, the real conversation started. It was then, that I told him how I had always done that same dance with forms. Learning the words needed to work in my chosen profession was an ongoing battle. Thinking what I wanted to say, then writing it like a pre-schooler because I had to substitute the words for easier ones.</p><p>You could see the look on his face as he realised we share a problem that was more about genetics rather than upbringing.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“I made sure you had a good upbringing so you wouldn’t have my issues.”</em> he said.<sup>4</sup></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“Dad I’ve looked into this before. From what I understand it’s a form of Dyslexia and its very common”</em> I said.</p><p>Dyslexia affects people in different ways and with different levels of severity. It is an impairment of the brain that hinders learning ability around reading, spelling and rapid recall of visual or verbal queues that is known to be inherited in some families. <sup>5</sup> People of all IQ levels can be affected by dyslexia as it is not determined by how smart an individual is. <sup>6</sup> </p><p>I would never fill out a form in public, instead I would use a computer to write it out, then spell check everything before I transfer it to written words, if I could not just print it out.</p><p>After my confession, he seemed a little shocked. He believed that I was a lot smarter than he was, using all that “computer stuff” and working for “big companies in high positions”. I assured him that we are more alike than even I ever knew. Leaving his home that day, I wondered how his life could have been, if he had grown up with a better understanding of why he was the way he was. Then I remember how he answered my last question;</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“So if you were to sum up your life, from your point of view… would you say you have been happy?”</em></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><em>“Definitely, Definitely. Even though the childhood was very rough, and I had an alcoholic father. I don’t think I’d change too much.”</em> he answered.<sup>7</sup></p><p> </p><p style="text-align: center;">Listen to a 3-min Excerpt from the Garry Brady, 45-min Interview<br /><a id="mbmaplayer_1486136457410" class="mb_map {skin:'blue', animate:true, width:'350', volume:0.5, autoplay:false, loop:false, showVolumeLevel:true, showTime:true, allowMute:false, showRew:true, addGradientOverlay:false, downloadable:false, downloadablesecurity:false, id3: false}" href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/BRADY-GarryW1952.IV001-2016.11.29-Excerpt.mp3">InterviewExcerpt</a><br /> <br />Read the 3-min Excerpt <a href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/BRADY-GarryW1952.IV001-2016.11.29-Excerpt.pdf" target="_blank">Interview Transcript</a></p><p> </p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><sup>1</sup> Garry Brady, interview by Darryl Brady, digital recording, High Wycombe, 29 November 2016, in author’s possession.<br /><sup>2</sup> Garry Brady, interview by author.<br /><sup>3</sup> Garry Brady, interview by author.<br /><sup>4</sup> Garry Brady, interview by author.<br /><sup>5</sup> “NINDS Dyslexia Information Page”.

This item holds pride of place as the centrepiece of their family history, displayed on the walls of their family home in Bindoon, Western Australia. The Shadow Box picture frame of <a href="http://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I4406&tree=Brady2008" target="_blank">Petrus “Peter”</a> and <a href="http://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I4407&tree=Brady2008" target="_blank">Johanna Maria Patleych (nee Ednitsch)</a>, on their wedding day 20 June 1915 in Kottingbrunn, Austria. Surrounded by the Brautschleier or brides Hochzeitsschleier (wedding veil), and the groom’s Knopflochblume (buttonhole flower) arrangement. <sup>1</sup></p><p>This Shadow Box was made soon after the wedding and was on display in the Patleych family home. <sup>2</sup></p><p> </p><p style="padding-left: 60px;"><em><a href="http://www.bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/placesearch.php?psearch=Kottingbrunn%2C+Baden%2C+Nieder%C3%B6sterreich%2C+Austria&tree=Brady2008" target="_blank">Kottingbrunn</a> is a small village in the district of Baden, Lower Austria, about 40km south east of Vienna.<sup>3</sup> Remembered by my mother-in-law Hanna as a very beautiful place where most locals had some small area of wine grapes, and were part of a co-op harvest to make local wine. Each person would place a wreath out to show if he had his seasons wine ready for sale. “Heuriger Wein” (this year’s wine) served with dry bread, lard and cheese.</em></p><p> </p><p><div id="attachment_2862" style="width: 210px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2862" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-2862" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/006874b-352x1024.jpg" alt="Figure 2: Shadow Box, side view, 2016, digital image." width="200" height="581" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/006874b-352x1024.jpg 352w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/006874b-103x300.jpg 103w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/006874b-768x2232.jpg 768w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/006874b.jpg 792w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2862" class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Figure 2: Shadow Box, side</strong><br /><strong> view, 2016, digital image.</strong></p></div></p><p>The tradition of a Wedding Shadow Box was common in Austria and Germany around this time. <sup>4 5</sup> Walter, my father-in-law recalls one for a member of his family and also in other friends’ houses and later in museums. <sup>6</sup> It may have become less common after war time as the dress and veil materials were used to make other things as it was in short supply.</p><p> </p><p>The frame made possibly from black forest pine, measures 47cm tall, 38cm wide with a 3.5cm flowered decorative patterned bevelled edge. The side view shows a built out box, measuring 4cm less than the overall height and width of the frame. On either side a small securing pin holds the end of a measured length of string to allow for hanging. The box and the display frame give an overall depth of 8cm. A glass face protects the contents from touch, and on examination the depth of the display area measures approximately 6cm. The centre of the display area has a 6x8cm wedding photo of the couple in their wedding attire, standing beside each other. The groom in a dark knee length jacket, a buttonhole flower is positioned high on his left lapel, dark suit pants, black dress shoes, white high collar shirt, and white gloves. In his left hand he holds a dark top hat by the rim firm against his side. He stands front-on but with his left foot slightly in front of his right, facing directly forward with his right arm slightly crossing his body, allowing his bride to interlock her left arm over his. The bride is dressed in a white, long sleeved full length dress with a waist belt. Flowers held in her right hand, in front of her body. On her head sits a veil with a long ¾ length trail hanging behind. She faces forward but leans slightly into her groom.</p><p> </p><p>The photo has a 0.5cm white boarder mounted with a teal backdrop. Surrounding the inside third of the display area is the material from the brides veil and positioned along the top veil line is the brides floral head piece. The grooms buttonhole flower is mounted in the bottom right corner. Close inspection of the veil does show some deterioration and discolouration.</p><p> </p><p>Some restoration work was done on the mounting of the veil as it had fallen down inside the box. The rear of the box was repaired and re-sealed with fresh tape. This process covered a studio label that unfortunately was not recorded at the time and without removing the tape, can’t be seen. During the restoration opening some old newspaper was found behind the mounting backing but this was placed back in when it was re-assembled and can’t be seen from external examination.</p><p> </p><p><div id="attachment_2863" style="width: 577px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2863" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-2863" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/0068710b-1024x701.jpg" alt="Figure 3: Hanna and Alex, sitting in front of family history wall, 2016, digital image." width="567" height="388" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/0068710b-1024x701.jpg 1024w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/0068710b-300x205.jpg 300w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/0068710b-768x526.jpg 768w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/0068710b.jpg 1775w" sizes="(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2863" class="wp-caption-text"><strong>Figure 3: Hanna and Alex, sitting in front of family history wall, 2016, digital image.</strong></p></div></p><p> </p><p>I had looked at the Shadow Box many times and was aware of who the people in the photo where but until this assignment had no real knowledge of how it came to be in the possession of my in-laws. After a Sunday lunch, sitting down with my wife Alex and her parents Walter and Hanna, I proceeded to do an informal interview to find out more.<br />Living in Munich, Germany meant that Hanna only saw her grandparents about once a year when going on holidays to Vienna. Hanna admitted that she acquired the Shadow Box directly from her grandmother’s house sometime after her grandfather’s death and that she may have just “taken it” so it was not grabbed by a cousin in the event that something happened to her grandmother.</p><p> </p><p>Hanna’s memories of her grandfather Peter described a funny guy who liked wine, but could be a little aggressive if he drank too much. A stubborn man, he could be described as religious. A Catholic altar boy, who sang at church, Hanna remembers he would sing the grandchildren’s names like a church song. “Hannelore, Hannelore, Hann… e…lore.” His occupation as an Engineer, building electrical water turbines had him away a lot, travelling around the mountains of Austria. He enjoyed getting involved in wine making but he himself didn’t have a true setup. He did spend considerable time in his vegetable garden. In later life he suffered from Alzheimer’s and went into a nursing home when Johanna could no longer care for him.</p><p> </p><p>Peter died in 1969 at the age of 78 years, after being run over when he stepped into the street without looking, on his morning walk to the shop. He had a habit of stepping out, believing that “they (the car drivers) will stop for me” as he felt being an engineer, he was an important person in his village.<br />Johanna was remembered as a very lovely person. She would visit Peter in his nursing home once a week, traveling on the bus from her oldest daughter Rosa’s place where she lived until she went into a nursing home in Baden, Austria for her final years. My wife Alex has fond memories of Johanna, her great grandmother and recalled her feelings when she heard of her passing in 1991 at the ripe old age of 98.</p><p> </p><p>During the interview Alex was amazed at some of the facts that where revealed, that even she had not known about her great grandparents. Alex has always loved this item and its special place it held in her parents’ home, and made it clear that it would find a new location in her home when the time came, stating “I may even just take it!”</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Darryl Brady<br />Student ID: 425182<br />Object Biography<br />HAA006 Place, Image, Object</p><p> </p><p> </p><h6 style="padding-left: 90px;"><sup>1</sup> Darryl Brady, Research, Brady Family Tree in Western Australia, <a href="http://www.bradyfamilytre.org" target="_blank">http://www.bradyfamilytre.org</a>, 1998-2016.<br /><sup>2</sup> Darryl Brady, Interview with Walter and Hannelore “Hanna” Etz (nee Ostermann) and Alexandra “Alex” Brady (nee Etz), Etz Family Home, Bindoon, 10 July 2016.<br /><sup>3</sup> Wikipedia contributors, “Kottingbrunn,” Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kottingbrunn&oldid=715238493" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kottingbrunn&oldid=715238493</a> (accessed 13 July 2016).<br /><sup>4</sup> Wikipedia contributors, “Shadow box,” Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shadow_box&oldid=722997219" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shadow_box&oldid=722997219</a> (accessed 23 July 2016).<br /><sup>5</sup> Cheryl Sharpes, “A Wedding Tradition”, Web Site, <a href="http://www.aweddingtradition.com/shadowboxlink.htm" target="_blank">http://www.aweddingtradition.com/shadowboxlink.htm</a> (accessed 23 July 2016).<br /><sup>6</sup> eBay International, “Kijiji Classifieds”, Web Site, <a href="http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles/hamilton/museumpiece-1904-german-wedding-shadow-box-veil-orange-blossoms/1125006922" target="_blank">http://www.kijiji.ca/v-art-collectibles/hamilton/museumpiece-1904-german-wedding-shadow-box-veil-orange-blossoms/1125006922</a> (accessed 23 July 2016).</h6><p> </p><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-2875 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ObjectBiographyRubric.png" alt="Object Biography Rubric" width="647" height="885" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ObjectBiographyRubric.png 647w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/ObjectBiographyRubric-219x300.png 219w" sizes="(max-width: 647px) 100vw, 647px" /></p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?feed=rss2&p=2855</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Annotated Map</title> <link>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=2838</link> <comments>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=2838#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Darryl Brady]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 28 Aug 2016 11:59:51 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Brady Family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daily News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Etz Family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[convict]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Etz]]></category> <category><![CDATA[HAA006]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ireland]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Place Image Object]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UTAS]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=2838</guid> <description><![CDATA[  Reflective Statement   When thinking about the subject for my annotated map, I immediately thought of the family trip that my daughter, wife and I had taken 18 months ago.

My initial challenge was to learn how to overlay and re-size the pictures onto the map. This gave a basic looking layout. From here I spent a number of hours watching YouTube training on adding speech bubbles and text boxes that would contour the images.</p><p>During the process I used my wife and daughter’s feedback to look at what to change and it was great to see the way they relived the trip in their minds. Seeing this made me realise that this is a wonderful medium for bringing pictures and events to life. As a final review I posted it to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1104617942943024/" target="_blank">groups Facebook page</a> and was surprised by how others with no connection to our trip enjoyed the presentation.</p><p>I can see from this exercise, ways to improve delivery of new <a href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/" target="_blank">family tree</a> information to my web site and blog page. Discovering many other interactive presentation tools, like <a href="https://prezi.com/" target="_blank">Prezi.com</a> has allowed me to start looking at a better ways to timeline the life of my convict John BRADY.</p><p>Darryl Brady<br />UTAS Student ID: 425182<br />HAA006 Place Image Object<br />Assessment Task 2: Annotated Map</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><div id="attachment_2839" style="width: 650px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BRADY-DW425182-AnnotatedMap2015HistoryTripx.jpg"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2839" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-2839 size-large" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BRADY-DW425182-AnnotatedMap2015HistoryTripx-1024x679.jpg" alt="HAA006 Place Image Object Assessment Task 2" width="640" height="424" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BRADY-DW425182-AnnotatedMap2015HistoryTripx-1024x679.jpg 1024w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BRADY-DW425182-AnnotatedMap2015HistoryTripx-300x199.jpg 300w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/BRADY-DW425182-AnnotatedMap2015HistoryTripx-768x510.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2839" class="wp-caption-text"><center><b>Click for Large View</b></p><p> HAA006 Place Image Object<br /> Assessment Task 2: Annotated Map</center></p></div></p><p> </p><hr /><p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter wp-image-2847" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nailed-ita.png" alt="nailed-it" width="211" height="150" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nailed-ita.png 400w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nailed-ita-300x214.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px" /></p><p> </p><p><div id="attachment_2840" style="width: 869px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Score.png"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2840" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-2840 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Score.png" alt="Assessment Task 2: Annotated Map Feedback" width="859" height="791" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Score.png 859w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Score-300x276.png 300w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Score-768x707.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-2840" class="wp-caption-text"><center><b>Click for Large View</b></p><p> Assessment Task 2: Annotated Map Feedback</center></p></div></p><p> </p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?feed=rss2&p=2838</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Who Was Frederick Brady?</title> <link>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=2789</link> <comments>https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=2789#comments</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Darryl Brady]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:23:47 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Brady Family]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Daily News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brady]]></category> <category><![CDATA[convict]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Convict Ancestors]]></category> <category><![CDATA[HAA007]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ireland]]></category> <category><![CDATA[story]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UTAS]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/?p=2789</guid> <description><![CDATA[  Research into the life of Frederick Brady was hindered for some time before it was found he had given an alias on his marriage certificate and in fact was convict John Brady.

Private collection <a href="#[4]">[4]</a></p></div><strong>John Brady (1835 – 1886)</strong></p><p>Between 1845 – 1852 Ireland was struck by a widespread potato famine, which saw the population of the country decline by nearly 3 million people. During that time it was common to see ditches filled with the bodies of famine victims who had been evicted from their homes by landlords who continued to demand exorbitant rents, despite the fact that their tenants could no longer afford to pay them. <a title="[5]" href="#[5]">[5]</a></p><p>Whilst somewhat unclear, it is believed that the famine was the reason behind John and possibly his family’s relocation to England, where he would later be convicted of robbery with violence in 1854.</p><p>At age 19, John – a man standing 5 feet one inches tall, with a sallow complexion, grey eyes, light brown hair, oval face and stout stature – was recognised in Warwick Street by several young girls from the neighbourhood of Toxteth, Liverpool following a violent robbery, and was subsequently convicted. Newspaper Reports of the trial do not give any information on John’s exact role in the crime, nor do they say if he lived in the immediate area, but the fact that he was recognised by locals may point to him living in the area, at least for some time.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>The Liverpool Mercury</em>, Tuesday,14 March 1854, listed the following account of the robbery,</strong></p><p> </p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>SAVAGE GAROTTE ROBBERY</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Three disreputable females, named Elizabeth Rafferty, Mary Stanley, and Jane M’Kay, together with two young men of a sailor-like appearance, named Thomas Brown and John Brady, were brought up on a charge of violently assaulting and robbing Mr Thomas Bibby of Warwick Street, of a £10 note, £8 10s in gold, 6s, a stamped receipt for £10 and a knife.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor, who could hardly speak from the effects of the injuries he had received was proceeding to his residence in Warwick Street, between nine and ten o’clock on Tuesday night last (being at the time somewhat under the influence of drink), when he was first assailed by two females, who jostled him. He pushed them away, upon which he was instantly surrounded by four men and the females, who threw something around his neck and attempted to strangle him, by which he was rendered insensible. Whilst the male prisoners were holding him, the female prisoners turned out the prosecutor’s pockets and robbed him of his money, amounting in all to £18 10s, and the stamped receipt for ten pounds. The ruffians then decamped.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Three girls, named Mary Bennett, Elizabeth Williams, and Maria Fowler, deposed to seeing the male and two of the female prisoners follow and take hold of the prosecutor. The outrage having been communicated to the police, Inspector Horne, from information received from Mr Woods, publican, who resides in the neighbourhood of Warwick Street, and who stated that the keeper of a disorderly house had wished him to change a £10 note, went into the house in question, and asked the keeper, a Mrs Connor, what account she had to give of the note. In reply she gave a description of the prisoners, and Inspector Horne and a detective officer succeeded, after some difficulty, in apprehending the five prisoners in the same house, Mrs Connor deposed that the prisoners came into her house at an early hour on Wednesday morning and sent her out for two quarts of ale, and on one of the occasions of going out one of the prisoners gave her a £10 note to get changed.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">This note she took Mr Woods, who refused to cash it; upon which the woman returned it, and Brown took it into his possession. Another female, who had been in the preceding witness’s house, stated that the prisoners asked her the value of the stamped receipt, and on being told it was worthless, being the receipt for the payment of £10 for a cart, the document was burnt. Mr Woods said that the female, Connor, upon his refusing to change the £10 note, offered to give him 10s as an inducement to do so, but he would not have anything to do with it, as he suspected a robbery had taken place.</p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">As there was no evidence to implicate the prisoner M’Kay in the robbery, further than she was found in the house with the others by the officers she was discharged. Brown, Brady, Rafferty, and Stanley were remanded, the magistrate intimating that it was his intention to send them to trial at the assizes. The officers were directed to take active steps to apprehend, if possible, the other two female assailants. <a title="[6]" href="#[6]">[6]</a></p><p>Further accounts were also Published on the 22 March in the <em>Manchester Times <a title="[7]" href="#[7]">[7]</a></em>, 24 March in the <em>Hull Packet and East Riding Times <a title="[8]" href="#[8]">[8]</a></em>, 25 March in the <em>Manchester Times <a title="[9]" href="#[9]">[9]</a></em> and 30 March in the <em>Nottinghamshire Guardian</em>. <a title="[10]" href="#[10]">[10]</a></p><p> </p><p>After being found guilty, John and his accomplices received sentences of 20 years transportation.</p><p><div id="attachment_2823" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2823" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-2823 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/31251_A006108-00030-crop2.jpg" alt="Cohorts No 3 - 7, Liverpool Assizes,1854, Lancashire, England [6]" width="840" height="372" srcset="https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/31251_A006108-00030-crop2.jpg 840w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/31251_A006108-00030-crop2-300x133.jpg 300w, https://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/31251_A006108-00030-crop2-768x340.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-2823" class="wp-caption-text">Cohorts No 3 – 7, Liverpool Assizes,1854, Lancashire, England <a href="#[11]">[11]</a></p></div> </p><p>After his conviction for Savage Garrotte Robbery, John spent time awaiting his transportation to Western Australia.

On 7 December 1870 he was reconvicted at Perth, for stealing from a dwelling house in the town of York. It seems from this conviction that John again fell victim to a crime of opportunity. A local man William Godfrey had taken to storing money and valuables in a box in his bedroom. Knowing this, John forced open a window and made off with the contents of the box. According to the <em>Perth Gazette</em>, he was sentenced to 8 years for this offence. <a title="[15]" href="#[15]">[15]</a></p><p> </p><p><div id="attachment_2818" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2818" decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-2818 size-full" src="http://bradyfamilytree.org/genealogy/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Western-Australia-Australia-Convict-Records-18461974-cropa.jpg" alt="Convict Department Register ACC 1156/R16 for John Brady.

Some of his times are recorded for common issues like constipation or a cough for which he sought relief. <a title="[18]" href="#[18]">[18]</a></p><p>One ongoing issue between 1856 and 1858 was for facial ringworm, a fungal infection of the skin that could present as inflammation of the scalp, associated with reddening of the skin, itching, circles of peeling skin and hair loss. On a number of occasions he spent consecutive days being treated with ointment applied to his face. <a title="[19]" href="#[19]">[19]</a> <a title="[20]" href="#[20]">[20]</a></p><p>From 1857 onward John also suffered from a condition called Ophthalmia – inflammation of one or both eyes. His occupation during this time is listed as quarry worker and plasterer’s labourer. One entry notes that the Ophthalmia is due to the lime in the plastering process. This recorded as an issue for John many times over the next 15 years. <a title="[21]" href="#[21]">[21]</a> The issue is commonly associated with poor nutrition. <a title="[22]" href="#[22]">[22]</a></p><p> </p><p>Sometime after John’s second conviction in York he began to use the name Frederick or Frederick Joseph Brady. Talking with living descendants of his children revealed that this is the only name he was known by until research began. His marriage to Mary Frances Dee, illness at time of his death and his burial are all recorded as Frederick Brady. <a title="[23]" href="#[23]">[23]</a></p><p>Was this an attempt to start-a-fresh? Meeting a wife of half his age and starting a family under an assumed name? One hundred and thirty years after his death he would be able to claim over 550 direct descendants, with more than a few having his roguish nature. <a title="[24]" href="#[24]">[24]</a></p><p>One interesting coincidental fact is that his 4th wedding anniversary and the granting of his full pardon both took place on the 29 September 1880.</p><p>In 1886 John became ill and was sent to Perth Hospital, where he subsequently died from a brain tumor. Following his death Mary Frances and the children were left destitute, and were accommodated at the Women’s Home and Orphanage. <a title="[25]" href="#[25]">[25]</a> John Brady was buried on the 20 December 1886 in the East Perth Cemetery, Western Australia along with his daughter Elizabeth May ‘Mary’ Brady, both in unmarked graves. <a title="[26]" href="#[26]">[26]</a></p><p><strong>Mary Francis Dee (1857 – 1921)</strong></p><p>Mary Frances Brady (nee Dee) re-married William Cardwell in 1888 in Dongara and had another five children. <a title="[27]" href="#[27]">[27]</a> It is understood that she did not have an ongoing relationship with most of her Brady children and as a result each of the boys had limited contact with her and the families grew apart over time. The descendants of each line were never fully linked and recognised as one family until recently, when current generations began to compile a full family tree. <a title="[28]" href="#[28]">[28]</a></p><p> </p><p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Frederick Francis Brady (1879 1967)</strong></p><p style="padding-left: 30px;">Eldest child, Frederick Francis Brady, was born on 18 April 1879.
