Hi,
I'm seeking the death registration information for a Bridget Quigley which may be around 1877 in Victoria somewhere.
Thanks
Gerry

Is this the one you are looking for?
QUIGLEY Bridget age 56yrs (born LIME) d. 1866 #2494
Father: Casey John
Mother: Honora FARRELL

Merlin,
Thanks for the prompt reply at this late hour.
Possibly not my Bridget, the information given to me had Bridget born in Tipperary around 1797 and dying around 1877 possibly at Ararat.

Can't see any Bridget Quigley even close to her age, date or place of death.
Do you have any other details for her?
-
Merlin,
Thanks.
I'm looking at the mother for a Catherine Hayes from Tipperary who married Adam Young at Smythesdale in 1862.
The marriage certificate states that Catherine's mother was ELIZABETH QUINLEY.
Yesterday I received some information that Catherine's mother came out from Ireland as well (don't know how or when) plus other children and her maiden name in Ireland was BRIDGET QUIGLEY.
For some reason I assumed she may have gone back to maiden name of QUIGLEY when she came out to Victoria.
Maybe I should be looking for a BRIDGET HAYES who died around 1877 at Stawell (not Ararat) or ELIZABETH HAYES because Elizabeth was on Catherine's marriage certificate.
Hope this is not too confusing.

Hi Gerry.
Actually found the following before your last post....simply searched for a Bridget who died 80 years of age in 1877.
To find the place of death you will need to purchase an image of the cert.
HAYES Bridget
Parents unknown
Born Tipperary 80 years 1877 Reg#11958

Thanks Cando,
Your find looks promising from the information giving to me. I had steered Merlin in the wrong direction with the Quigley.
Bridget Hayes could be my GGGGM so I'll be getting this certificate. There is nothing like certificates.
I'm intrigued why would Catherine put down Elizabeth as her mothers name when it was likely to have been Bridget, just another mystery. Bridget/Elizabeth's husband John Hayes probably had died so she migrated, maybe!
With the same information that I was given about Catherine's mother Bridget coming out to Victoria I was told that Catherine's brothers Edward Hayes, Matthew Hayes Michael Hayes and sister Margaret Hayes came out and married as well. So I still have a lot of research to do.
From Catherine's death certificate (only 28 yo) I did find out that there was a coroners enquiry at Smythesdale and I have now established officially the burial plots for Catherine, her husband Adam Young and infant Thomas who are buried at the Smythesdale Cemetery.
Thanks again for your service.

Gerry I do agree and sometimes I would love to type it in uppercase ;) :D

There is another Bridget HAYES death registered in 1877, again with no place of death
Bridget HAYES age 50 b Tipperary, parents: Hayden James and Johanna RYAN # 5974
(Thus b abt 1827) It's unclear as to which of the names given for her father is his surname and which his Christian name)
If Catherine died aged 28 in 1870 her birth would have been abt 1842
The 80yearold Bridget has a birth of abt 1797 which makes her quite old to be the mother of Catherine - not impossible though. The 50 year old would have been 15 when Catherine was born - once again, not impossible. ::) ???
Just thought I'd add that in to the mix ::)

Judith,
Good point, but the information I have is pointing more towards the Bridget who died in 1877 and born in 1797 despite the age.
I was originally following up on Catherine Hayes only and had the relevant certificates when I found another person looking at the same tree ie, Catherine Hayes marrying Adam Young at Smythesdale in 1862. Yesterday I received some papers which had details of the Hayes family and this is when I found out that Catherine's mother Bridget Hayes had migrated to Australia and I was given her maiden name as Quigley and being born in 1797 in Tipperary.
With this knowledge I has decided to look at Bridget as well as her daughter Catherine plus the other children who came out including.
Edward Hayes who married Mary McGrath
Matthew Hayes who married Catherine Bourke
Michael Hayes who married Margaret McGrath
Margaret Hays who married Thomas Hayes
I would expect the marriages would have been in Victoria.
From the list of siblings to Bridget and John Young she would have been having children up until about 51!
The list of the children give were
Mary Hayes b 1825
Edward Hayes B 1827 To Vic
Thomas Hayes b 1829
Matthew Hays B 1831 To Vic
Honora Hayes B 1833
Michael Hayes B 1835 To Vic
Bridget Hayes B 1837
Catherine Hayes B 1839 To Vic
Judith Hayes B 18421
Margaret Hayes B 1844 To Vic
Edward, Matthew and Michael were 3 sons who reportedy came out to Victoria, Catherine, Margaret and their mother Bridget Quigly also reportedly came out as well

Any chance on confirming some Victorian marriages, I only have the registration and year plus names but no location or any other details and these would be good if available.
Edward Hayes & Mary McArthy 1856/1002
Matthew Hayes & Catherine Bourke 1865/434
Michael Hayes & Margaret McGrath 1864/467
Margaret Hayes & Thomas Hayes 1864/2763
Thanks
Gerry

The pioneer index doesn't hold any further information for their marriages only their names, date & reg no.
-
Thanks Merlin for the reply,
Looks like I'll have to buy certificates for more details.
Gerry
-
This marriage Edward Hayes & Mary McArthy 1856/1002 in post #10 is actually registered as McGrath.
-
Merlin,
Thanks for the information.
If I went to my State Library and looked at the Victorian BDM microfiche would it have more detail?
or
If I went on line with the Victorian BDM pay as you go records would there be any more detaail?
Gerry
-
Gerry the information from the fiche and Vic bdm database online is the same as on the CD....an index only.
Cheers

Thanks Cando, looks like I'll be purchasing some more Certificates.

Not a cheap hobby Gerry ;D I do applaud you attitude though....even a few certs can prove invaluable with your research.
Cheers

Hello Gerry. Elizabeth (Bridget) Quigley is according to Ancestry.com my 3rd great grandmother. Her daughter, Honorah is my 2nd gr grandmother (1833-1904) and married Dennis Collins and came to Chicago. Like her mother, she was born in Youghalarra parish, Co Tipperary, Ireland. My mother was a Collins.
-
Hi Boston Jack,
Thanks for the message and details that Honora had married Dennis Collins, I haven't as yet followed up on the Hayes children who migrated to the US I have concentrated on those that came to Victoria, but I will get onto the US connections soon I hope.
Nice to see that your 2nd GGM was also Bridget Quigley. I have been researching the Victorian connections for a little while now and I do have a copy of the Death Certificate for Bridget (11th Oct 1877 at Stawell in Victoria) and the informant whom was her son, Edward Hayes also of Stawell lists Honora, 40 years as one of the living children.
My Hayes connection is through Catherine who had married Adam Edward Young but sadly she died at a young age in 1870 leaving Adam and two children, Adam was a blacksmith at Smythesdale in Victoria and had been born at Coldsteam in Scotland.
If you need any information about Honora's sibling in Victoria I might be able to help out.
Once again, thanks for the contact.
Gerry
