I have not looked at this forum for years, my apologies.
I have discovered the baptism record in Nenagh for Bridget daughter of JOHN HACKETT and WIN MEARA. The entry is annotated "illegitimate" so perhaps Win never married John.
Bridget was born and baptised in 1856. In 1864 a Win Meara (recorded as a widow and daughter of Pat) married John Cooney a stone masons labourer in Nenagh.
She seemed to have travelled with Bridget to Halifax prior to 1876 (Bridget's marriage year) and until she died in 1891 referred to herself in censuses as Winifred Cooney. I have no knowledge of any siblngs that Bridget may have had.
