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?
Area - DUBLIN (RC) , Parish/Church/Congregation - ST. MARY, PRO CATHEDRAL
Baptism of FRANCISCUS LYNCH of 20 BOLTON ST on 11 October 1865
Name FRANCISCUS LYNCH
Date of Birth 2 October 1865
Address 20 BOLTON ST
Father STEPHANUS LYNCH
Mother ANNA BRIODY
Sponsor 1 PATRITIUS QUIGLEY
Sponsor 2 MARGARITA NOLAN
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. :)
Teresa.

I take in you haven't found her marriage.
Do you know if Thomas Pollard was also from Tipperary.
On Griffiths Valuation all the Pollards are in Tipperary South Riding.

I did find the Church marriage, but not the original hand written one.
I have no idea where Thomas Joseph Pollard came from. He died in June 1892 Dublin aged 62 , Home address: 18 Bolton St, Dublin making his birth c.1830.

I was hoping they married in Tipperary but as that marriage doesn't give any clues either to fathers names or address I can't think what else you can do.......
Is there any prison records or such?

So, anything on Death Cert?

I've had a look at the other Tipperary links..but not anything positive on there.
I was hoping to see something like this for the Quigley's
Additional information from Thoms Directory for Dublin
1868: Thomas Pollard, listed as “Plasterer & Confectionery”, residing at 20 Bolton St, Dublin.
1880: Thomas Pollard, Contractor was recorded as living at 18 Bolton Street, Dublin.

1891: Thomas J Pollard, listed as a “Contractor” residing at 18 Bolton St, Dublin

It was from this above, I knew that my Gt Gt Grandfthe had died which enabled me to find his Death Reg and get a copy of his Death Cert.

My brother and myself have DNA matched on Ancestry with descendants of your Pollard family, also I have noticed at least two cousins who have also matched all from the Quigley side.
26th Jun. 1832 at Killenaule. Mary Quigley to William & Ally Meagher.
I have messaged one of my brother's matches living in the U.S.A. who is descended from Thomas Joseph Pollard and Mary Bridget Quigley - the Tanners.
One can go back further in the Killenaule records for the grandparents of Mary Quigley born 1832.
