I am trying to find my great great great grandmother Bridget Melvin's maiden name and a record of her marriage to John Melvin.
Bridget A Melvin married John Melvin in Co Mayo and moved to Yorkshire. In the 1891 Census, she is living with her daughter Bridget Welch in York. On Bridget's marriage certificate to Michael Welch in 1866, it says John Melvin deceased.
I have reason to believe that Bridget could have been Dougher, but I would like to confirm it. If anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
Best wishes,
Liz
