Bridget KING - Hedford GALWAY IRE
« on: Monday 12 October 09 00:27 UTC (UK) »
I'm hoping someone with local knowledge will be able to assist me with this inquiry.
I'm looking for any information at all relating to Bridget King.   It appears she emigrated into Port Jackson, NSW Aust. on board the Panama, arrival 12 Jan 1850 at the tender age of 16 years.  She was from Hedford (now Headford?) Galway Ire.   Her parents are listed as living at Hedford - Edward and Margaret KING.
I'm planning a trip to Ireland next year and would like to include her birthplace / region on my itinerary.
She married a William Fitzgerald in Ipswich Qld in 1854, and died in 1893 aged 58.    Although she was married C of E, her children were raised Catholic.   Am looking for anything that may help build a picture of her life before emigrating to Australia.
