MCBRIDE Family History

Recorded as MacBride, McBride, Bride, Bryde, the diminutives Bridie, Brydie, and Bridey, this is a Gaelic surname of both Irish and Scottish origins. It derives either from the pre 10th century Irish Mac giolla Brighde or the Scottish Mac gille Brighde, and translates as "The son of the follower of St Bridget", one of the early Christian saints. The personal name originally 'Brighid' is of uncertain etymology, but may mean "exalted", and was probably that given to a pagan fire goddess, albeit that many of her attributes are now associated with the historical figure of St. Brigit of Kildare (452-523).

The person that got awarded a knighthood in my family was George McBride, he died in 1855 so I’m not getting any information from him. I know he lived in Northern Ireland for his whole life but I don’t know much more then that, I really want to know what happens with my family and what tribe I am, thanks

I am looking for Henry McBride & Mary McBride (Malone) whose son Bernard McBride emigrated to Australia in 1865. I cannot find any records of Henry and Mary after the birth of their children in Dundalk. I have traced one daughter to Cavan. Trying to find where Henry came from as I don't think he was native to Dundalk. Where do most McBrides come from in Ireland?

McBride Any Presbyterian McBrides who left County Tyrone early 1850s for the US? James McBride, Mary Fleming and children were from Clogher, County Tyrone. They left their youngest child (Charles McBride, born 1852) with Mary's mother (Letitia). He came to Australia in 1871 at the age of 18. He is my Gx2 grandfather.
