Hi Guys,
Attached include:
Brouder:
In the Newcastle Journal there is an article on Tossie Lee, descendant of our great, great grand parents Ralph Lee & Ellen Brouder/Broder.
I also noticed on page 19 a Slater’s Royal National Commercial Directory of Ireland 1870. It shows that a Patrick Brouder owned a shop on Maiden Street in Newcastle west.
I believe this person to be related to Ellen Brouder, possibly her father Patrick 1795-1889 (Find my Past web site) or her brother Patrick 1842-1907(Find My Past), either way both alive in 1870.
The 1901 census does show a Patrick Brouder aged 51 (making him born 1850 but it may not be the correct age) but not alive on 1911 census.
That would mean he could be the shop owner aged either 20 or 28.
Or is it the father aged 75?
Tossie Lee:
Gabriel Lee our great uncle:
Philomena Lee: Proof she was Tossie’s sister
Ralph Lee Grave:
He was James Lee’s brother, our Great Grand Father, and I believe this to be Tossie and Philomena’s descendants

Her father is Patrick Bruder as mentioned in Davids documents.
David also found a Ralph Lee mentioned in Griffiths valuation in the Parish of Ballysumaghan in Gaddan Beg but I havent establish a connection. If someone else has maybe they could let us know. I have a transcript of his death but not his death Cert. He died aged 56 in 1868 in Newcastle Co Limerick. Vol 20Pg 369 should anyone like to go to Werburgh St to get a copy.
