In the matter of proving
the last Will and Testament
of James Brady deceased"

Bernard Gormley was named Administrator of James Brady's estate on October 2, 1844.  On this date Letters of Administration were granted and recorded on Liber Page Bond Book 41-311-45.

James married Mrs. (Catherine?) Brady about 1820/1821 in County Cavan, Ireland. (Catherine?) was born in 1790/1800 in Cavan, Ireland. She died in Bet 1835/1840 in New York City, New York, New York, USA.

The 1830 census has her age between 30 and 40.  The 1840 census does not have a woman that age the likely senario is that she had died before 1840 and James had remarried Ann Gormley.  Supporting this is that at the christening of James oldest grandchild, Mary Elizabeth Brady on 9 July 1840,  Ann Gormley was the witness or Godmother.

They had the following children.

+ 7 F i Bridget Brady was born on 1 Jan 1822. She died on 15 Sep 1892.
  8 F ii Mary Brady was born in 1826/1830 in New York City, New York, New York, USA.

The 1830 cesus has Mary under the age of five.  The 1840 census has her between the age of five and ten.  The Likely conclusion is that Mary was an infant at the time of the 1830 census and was likely born that year.
