He married Margaret WALLACE and they had 12 children. OTHER NOTES: Anglo-Celt July 5, he was chair of a meeting allegedly attended by 10,000 to 15,000 people. In January and February of 1851 and in March 1852, Thomas BRADFORD received threatening notices. SOURCE: “A RETURN of the number of Murders, Waylayings, Assaults, Threatening Notices, Incendiary Fires, or other Crimes of an Agrarian Character, reported by the Constabulary within the Counties of Louth, Armagh, and Monaghan, since the 1st day of January 1849; distinguishing by Name the Persons Murdered and Waylaid; also stating the Numbers Arrested for each Offense; whether Informations have been Sworn in the Case, and the Result of any Trial of the same” 1865 July 20 Belfast Newsletter: After some exciting speeches had been made, the crowd in the Court soon mixed with the rabble on the street, and in a short time several persons known to be friendly to Mr. M'Clintock were savagely maltreated. Amongst the number was Mr. Thomas Bradford, Carnbeg, whose grey hairs should have protected him from violence, who was dragged off his car and brutally assailed by ruffians armed with huge bludgeons. The unfortunate gentleman, whose only crime was that he was a staunch supporter of the Conservative candidate, was abused in a frightful manner, and at present lies in a very precarious condition. And also 1865 September 12: A very disgraceful outrage was perpetrated last week upon the lands of Mr. Thomas Bradford, of Carnbeg, near Dundalk, some of his lambs having been maliciously slaughtered. Mr. Bradford, who was so ferociously beaten in the public streets of Dundalk at the last election, has only recovered, and this renewed attack on the part of the enemies of law and order is disgraceful.

He subscribed £125 to help purchase the Glebe house and lands. He also wrote a lengthy article about the race course. Tempests Jubilee Annual 1909 (p 31& 40). He served on all sorts of boards. A description of his father and his roles in the family business after his father’s death is interesting: Mr. Henry Backhouse, a descendant of an old Quaker family who having first graduated in the famous tea house of Falkner of Grafton Street, Dublin, purchased the tea and grocery business of Mr. George Shekleton, who emigrated to Australia m 1845. Mr. Backhouse greatly extended his trade by establishing a soap and candle manufactory (an Irish industry now almost practically extinct) and also erected extensive excise bonded stores in Market Street. He afterwards took into partnership two of his employees—Messrs. Thomas Connolly and Henry Hale—and the business under this united management largely extended, necessitating the complete re-erection of the present fine premises, the addition of the adjoining houses, where a chemists and druggists trade was also added. Mr. Backhouse died in 1888, and was succeeded by his son, Henry Church Backhouse, who by his enterprise in establishing the first mineral water factory, and forming the business into a limited liability company, has greatly added to its prosperity, largely extending it, and giving much employment. SOURCE: Tempests Jubilee Annual 1909 p81. In terms of family connections, it is interesting that the birth name of Doris Mary Marguarite BRANDT (wife of James Francis WRIGHT) was BACKHOUSE and her father as named on her marriage certificate was James Herbert BACKHOUSE.

The extensive mills in Seatown, built by the Messrs. Dewhurst, were owned by him; and he also bought the immense model mills.of Philipstown, built by Mr. James Kieran at an expense of £30,000. These latter were unfortunately entirely burned to the ground in Oct, 1868, and Mr. Brown died in fourteen days afterwards. Mr. Brown, in addition to the coal trade, was an extensive grain exporter and importer, and embarked also in the weaving and spinning industry. He was married to a daughter of the late Mr. James Gilmore; and his four sons, Messrs. Thomas, Robert Louden, Stephen James, and Paul A., occupy prominent positions in the mercantile and legal professions. SOURCE: Tempests Jubilee 1909. [7] Thomas J. BYRNE [8] Thomas CALLAN was the son of Mr. Peter CALLAN, of Park Street, a skilled and expert house painter and decorator, and one of the most intelligent and independent men of his craft. He had a wonderful memory, going back for the last 80 years, and his descriptions of " Old Dundalk were always interesting. He was a member of the Dundalk Band which played at O'Connell's great meeting at Tara, on the 15th August, 1843, at which nearly three quarters of a million people were present. His family and ancestors were connected with the "Upper End " for centuries. He died in 1908. His son, Mr. Thomas Callan, of Park Street, succeeds a worthy father and upright citizen.

Mr. O'Neill married the second daughter of the late Mr. Cornelius Smyth. He died in 1900.
