Gerard Collins I guess we are first cousins. My mother Emma often spoke of your mother Loretta who left home at a young age, and never looked back. I often heard my mother and grandmother, Celestine Vanesse speak of her questioning Loretta’s where about. They got word she was in Detroit and wrote letters to the last known address but received no answer.<br />I guess with a family of 16 it was hard to keep track of everyone, especially if they didn’t want to be kept track of lol.

Unfortunately, I had not seen these replies to my 2014 post until now. I have been researching my family tree for some 15 years now.<br /><br />My grandfather was Thomas Fox, son of Michael Fox and Mary Bradley. Thomas married Grace Waker and their farm was in Chichester. Michael and Mary lived off the Sullivan Road in Sheen. My brother and my cousin purchased that land a few years back. I was just there this past summer doing a very non-scientific dig of the remnants of the original farmhouse which burned in the 1960's. :)<br /><br />Michael Fox died in 1906 and Mary in 1916, so neither were alive at the time. I have found the Bradley's in County Wexford and they are part of my Ancestry.ca family tree. I'd be happy to share it with you. I only need an email address.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827495953047868991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687824161583211670.post-78636465690864926962016-12-14T10:53:09.639-08:002016-12-14T10:53:09.639-08:00The Canadian history surrounding these events is a...The Canadian history surrounding these events is astounding. To uncover newspaper articles of old, beside headlines as famous as the kidnapping of little Lindy is indeed tragic, but fascinating.To realize that the streets are named by figures such as Marcel Gaboury, who defended Michael in his very first murder trial, and later went on to prosecute hardlined members of the Gambino crime family is pretty remarkable.It might also interest some to know that Michael was for a time incarcerated inside Bordeaux Prison in Montreal, prior to his untimely execution in the courtyard at Campbells Bay,Quebec.David Bradleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084186936014436071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8687824161583211670.post-68130518753663236972016-04-22T15:42:09.766-07:002016-04-22T15:42:09.766-07:00Hello Anonymous, Jack was my father he always held...Hello Anonymous, Jack was my father he always held his head up high despite the stigma attached to his name.

Michael was my great grandfather. I think the most heart wrenching part of this story is that Michael was married ,and had 4 children, 2 boys, and 2 girls. My grandfather's name was Ed Bradley, he has been deceased for some time now, but I remember him telling me, that he was the only one old enough to witness his father's execution, he was 8 years old. On the morning of the murders, there was an early morning confrontation in the barn between him, his father Joseph, and his uncle John, involving a pitch fork. Michael just started shooting. He had been previously put off the farm, and told that he would stand to inherit nothing, despite the fact that Michael had invested all of his time and money into it. I gave a rather lengthy presentation of the facts at Loyalist College last year, and based on my findings, it is my opinion that mental health issues played a significant role in this series of murders. Mental health awareness in the thirties was not what it is today. I can also tell you this, my grandfather named my father Michael, after his father. You can imagine what a burden that name was for him when he heard of these atrocities. My brother and I are the last Bradley males from this bloodline.

I was fascinated by it as a child myself. It is a hard thing for even an adult to comprehend. My dad was a small boy(7) when it happened and told me he remembers it was the first time he ever heard the word "murder". As to the cause , indeed it was perceived ill treatment from his father, apparently he would not give him any seed potatoes . Imagine it was depression times, and times were tough. Geneology is an interesting hobby, I guess we must be prepared for anything to turn up. We had just been talking about it, and i thought I would try and find some of the news of the time, to show my Dad now 88, and i found your blog. Thank you for sharing.

I know very little about this tragic story, but was able to find some details online through archived editions of the Ottawa newspaper. My grandmother Julie talked about her cousin and Michael to her elder daughter, but she never spoke to me about it.
