Bright family - Carrownspurraun
« on: Wednesday 01 February 06 19:35 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to trace any info on the Bright family - Henry Bright  married Elizabeth Walsh sometime around 1880. Henry was a farmer at Carrownspurraun, Riverstown . I think his father was Robert and his brother James and sister Florence.

Henry had 6 children the youngest being Annabella born around 1905.

All information very welcome

They were married 21 September 1896 at Taunagh Church of Ireland Church, Riverstown.  Both of full age, bachelor and spinster.  Henry, son of Robert Bright of Carrownsprawn, farmer.  Elizabeth, daughter of John Walsh of Carrowkeel, farmer.

Hope this helps!

Hi, I have come across the Brights from Sligo in my search for one of my ancestors in Co. Meath namely George Bright. I don't seem to find a connection between the two families though I do know George was born in England so maybe that's why, but he was living in Ireland since at least 1870 and died in Dunshaughlin Co. Meath in 1901. His given age then was 75 but this seems to be incorrect.

Any info on George before 1870 would be great.

Thank you!
