My Gt Gt Grandmother
Mary Bridget Quigley I've discovered, came from Tipperary!
I know nothing about her before she married my Gt Gt Grandfather Thomas Joseph Pollard.
The earliest record I've found is when my Gt Grandfather was born - Joseph Patrick Pollard born 24 Mar 1860 of 49 Mid Abbey St, Dublin. I know all about the Pollard Family and have all certificates to prove lineage.
I have managed to get a copy of Mary Bridget Pollard nee Quigley's Death Certificate.
She Died 3rd September 1915 aged 72 in St Monica’s Home, making her birth year c.1843. Death Certificate states she is the Widow of a Plasterer. Joseph Pollard, son, was the informant of 3 Lwr Dominick St, Dublin.
Her Burial record in Glasnevin Cemetery states "Widow of St Monica’s Belvidere Place, Dublin."
1901 Dublin Census. Address: 43 Belvedere Place Dublin. (Sisters of Charity Institution of Widows) Transcribed as Mary Pollan, RC, Widow,aged 65, Born Co.Tipperary
1911 Dublin Census. Mary Pollard a Widow, aged 77, born Tipperary, Ireland, is living at St Monica's Belvedere Place Dublin, the place where she died 4 years later.
Her age is recorded as 72 by her son Joseph on the death certificate in 1915 so some difference in her age!
One of her other sons had a
Quigley sponsor when he was baptised.
Thomas Richard Pollard born 19th Nov 1867, at 20 Bolton St. Dublin. (Birth Cert)
Baptism Sponsors:
Johannes Quigley & Margaret McCabe
I also found this: So I'm wondering if they are siblings of Mary Bridged Pollard nee Quigley?

I would love to find any family related to my Gt. Gt. Grandmother Mary Bridget Quigley, I don't even know her parents names.
Any help greatly appreciated.
