[magnacarta]

Bridget Horrigan was born somewhere in Kerry in 1857/58 but where? her father was David Horrigan. Is there anyone who can help?

Maybe her later life will give you clues. What country did she end up in?

Do you have her marriage certificate what occupation did it give for her father. Was the marriage in Ireland or elsewhere.

Also what were the names of her first children it is possible one of them is named after her mother.

What religion were they?

Hello, Thankyou for your posting. Bridget married an Irishman in London had her children and died in London. Her father was a labourer. On all the census lists she always put down that she was from Kerry. They were Catholics.

Is she living in England at the time of 1911 census? if so, she might be listed with a more exact place of birth (many people seem to have found Irish relatives listed with more than just the county or 'Ireland' in this census but you won't be able to tell unless you pay for the information- 1911 England census lookup requests not permitted here due to terms & conditions of the site).

Yes, I have her on the 1911 census and it's just Kerry in Ireland.
