Hi Barbara,

RYAN -

It is hard to believe, but there is only one RYAN (Mary) among the 27,000+
Irish names!

O'Grady -

Even harder to believe, there is not one O'GRADY, the index goes from
O'Gorman to O'Hagen. I thought for sure there would be GRADY listings, but there are
none.

The names of Irish emigrants leaving from Derry are primarily from the north
- Donegal, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Antrim, a few from Roscommon and Leitrim.
According to a map at ireland.com under "ancestors," I put in Grady and there were
almost none living in the north of Ireland during the time of Griffiths
Valuation. Your Grady and Clancy were from Limerick and they probably wouldn't have
traveled to the north to emigrate. They may have left from the Port of
Limerick , or traveled to the county to the south, Cork. The Immigrant Ships
Transcribers Guild has posted a passenger list of one ship sailing from the Port
of Limerick in 1852, but no Grady/O'Grady was among the passengers.

So sorry I can't help you.

Denise
