G0: Michael Grady (Thomas Grady's father)

 Some of this from the Thomas Grady and Mariah Dempsy blog:

Michael is mentioned as Thomas's father on their marriage cert:

Note it says "Deceased" between names in "Father's Name" column: not sure if that applies to Michael Grady or Bernard Dempsy.

Michael is also in Griffith's Valuation for Derreentighe from 1857:

Michael has 3 acres of land, and pays 1 pound, 5 shillings for it, and 5 shillings for the house.

Sir A Crichton owns all Derreentighe, and everyone but Michael rents from him. Michael is in sub lease from Peter Cummins. There are two big disadvantages to this: 1) in famine years, sub-leases were the first to get evicted 2) the rents are much higher.

Where Peter Cummins and others pay 2 shillings/2pence per acre in their split of parcel #5, Michael on his sub-lease is paying 6 shillings per acre. (Dempsys in neighboring Cloonreliagh are paying 4 shillings/7 pence per acre).

This site lets you vary the map with the overlay of modern satellite:

Michael's is 6a, in the upper right ... does that correspond to current site? East of R361?

What happens to Michael?
