{ita married Melvin McQuaid, Tracadie, and they have a family of nine children: Marion, Francis, Austin, Allen, Blair, Brian, Paul, Donna and David.

Teresa the youngest of the girls, is now Sister Margaret Marie, a member of the Sisters of the Precious Blood, and is living in their house in Alexandria, Ontario.

Austin, who was born January 17, 1930, after receiving his early education in Kelly’s Cross, and St. Dunstan’s University, was ordained to the Priesthood, and is now Pastor of St. Simon and St. Jude Church, Tignish, P.E.I.

John J. Bradley had two girls, Mary, who never married and lived in Boston. Annie married A. J. Bartholomew, Boston, and they have two sons William and Austin.

Andre Bradley who was a cousin of Patrick and James Bradley emigrated to P.E.I. about 1825-30. He married Mary Ann Gormley and settled on the farm now owned by Eddie McDonald, Kelly’s Cross. They had four children: James born 1854, Pat in 1855, and John and Rose within the next few years.

It seems very difficult to obtain any information on the family with the exception of James, the eldest, who lived in Charlottetown. He did not marry. John married Mary Ellen McQuaid, and remained on the old homestead. Their family were: William, Fred, Mary, Walter, Evelyn and Ella. No one in this family married. The last surviving member. William, passed away in 1960.
