Bridget's death cert at 90 in 1908
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1908/05505/4542371.pdf
would indicate she was born  about 1818 but the 1901 Census, assuming it's the same woman would indicate she was born about 1833
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Tyrone/Omagh/Mullaghmore/1746534/
so it might be worth widening the date range for both births and marriage.

The 1880 Census of America, White Plains New York, for Dennis Rabbitt and Bridget would also indicate at later birth of about 1830

Thank you.
Several listings show a Bridget Rabbitt with children however her obituary pays no mention of any children but states that she spent almost 40 years in the US

Various records have a Dennis Rabbit/t dying Manhattan, NY on 20th April 1893, aged 65.
Cert No 15027

Also, the censuses in White Plains suggest this approx age. The 1860 has him sd 35, his wife as Nancy, 45, with daughters Margaret, 6, and Bridget, 14. By 1870, he is 45,and wife is Bridget,42.

Did Nancy die and he then married Bridget or were name/ages confused?

This arrival seems consistent with his age on censuses.

New York 2 July 1849 on Ivanhoe from Liverpool
Dennis Rabbitt, 26, oat meal manufacture ?

Also this marriage but not at all sure as it doesn't tie in with the passenger list:

St Nicholas, Galway
April 1852 - ? Rabbit to a Bridget Molly or Moody ?

Page very blurred and torn.

Another arrival that might be considered

Arrive NY 31 March 1852 from Liverpool on City of Washington
Dennis Rabbet, aged 24, Irish.
Also, immediately below his entry: Anne Rabbit, 22.

Could Anne be Nancy?
