Coady Family - originally farming stock from Parknakyle, Old Leighlin, Co. Carlow, and now Kilkenny areas and Dublin. Coady Shipping Dublin owned and managed by Thomas Coady, BBS (hons.), involved in International Freight Forwarding and Customs Clearance activities.
It is understood that the original Coady arrived with the Normans into Ireland and were involved in the Confederation Of Kilkenny (when Kilkenny was made a City (by Royal Charter) under the names of Odo Le Arledekin or Archdeacon, later to become Oda, McAdoo, Codd or Cody, Coady.
It is thought that the name originated during the Norman Conquest of England, and arrived in Kilkenny in the mid-12th Century with the army of Strongbow. The Coady background would also include knights as records exist of a request for knights to assist in wars on the different continents during the middle ages.
A Bishop Odo was a half-brother of the Norman William the Conqueror and it is thought that the original Odo who arrived in Kilkenny was a Bishop of some sort, hence the name Archdeacon.
It may be that the family settled in Cornwall after arriving with the Norman armies and then a branch moved onto Kilkenny with Strongbow, a powerful Norman prince.
This information given by Thomas Coady, originally of Parknakyle, Old Leighlin, Carlow, Ireland.
