NOTES
[1]
O'Grady: Of this family is
Dr. Edward Stamer O'Grady (b. 23rd
Nov., 1838, in Baggot Street, Dublin, and living in 1887), who is the
son of the late Edward Stamer O'Grady, 4th Dragoon Guards, by his wife
Wilhelmina, daughter of the late Richard A. Rose, of Ahabeg, county of
Limerick. Dr. O'Grady became, in 1883, a member of the College of
Physicians. He is married to Minnie, eldest daughter of the late John
Bishop, of Galbally, county of Limerick, and has had issue three sons
and two daughters.

Cinel Dunghaile: This
territory comprised the present parish of
Tomgraney, co. Clare; and Iniscaltra and Clonrush, co. Galway.
[3]
O'Gradhaighe: This sirname
was also called O'Bradaighe,
anglicised "O'Brady." The two forms of sirname seem to be synonymous;
for, while O'Gradhaighe ("gradh" Irish, love; Lat. "grat-ia") means
"the descendants of the love-making man," O'Bradaighe ("bradaich;"
Irish, roguish) means "the descendants of the roguish man:" roguish
here meaning "lovemaking."
* Of the above three persons, thus (*) marked, No. 120 was archbishop of Cashel; No. 121, archbishop of Tuam; and No. 122, bishop of Elphin.
