Hi
Have traced the children of this couple but cannot find the marriage as yet. One of their children Mary Rice was born in Ballarat East Victoria in 1869. After that Thomas is found in Orange in 1879 and later on in 1881 in Bourke NSW.
His family later moved to Mount Morgan Queensland around 1890 .
I would appreciate any help in tracing Bridget's family, the spelling on QLD BDM is either Tuohy or Toohey.
Many thanks
McG

Qld BMDs show Bridget's death, registered in 1924 with parent names. Her marriage certificate gives her birthplace as Galway. Not sure if you are trying to go backwards or forwards with Bridget.

Death Registration for a Thomas Rice.
Thomas Rice
Died: 24th June 1890.
F: Michael Rice.
M: Margaret
Queensland, 1890/2556
Considering that there was an Intestacy application with the Brisbane Court in October 1890 for a Thomas Rice of Mt Morgan it is likely to be him.

Hi
Thank you all for the information on Thomas and Bridget. I have searched Trove for the children of this couple and have many references, but found nothing on the Tuohy family.
Yes Judi I am trying to go backwards on the Rice family and also on the Touhy family
Again many thanks

Gerry,
I do not see births to CHARLES PETRIE and BRIDGET RICE in QLD, though I do see a number to MARY RICE ans CHARLES PETRIE.
Where were these births located please.?
Is this MARY the daughter referred to in the Original Post, BRIDGET's daughter?

Sue,
You are correct, my mistake it should read Mary Rice and Charles Petrie and not Bridget Rice. Thanks for the correction.

Thank you Sue and Gerry for all the information.
The suicide of Thomas Rice is indeed very sad to read.
Have found my first lead into Bridget Agnes Rice nee Tuohy, she was from Potumna in County Galway.
