Got an email in regards to ordering the marriage certificate you found:

Hi Tracey

I cannot issue the marriage cert you are looking for (Sullivan & Donovan 29.05.1866 Waterford entry 18)
You may apply in writing to our head office to see if they can hand write it for you
There contact details are as follows:
General Reg. Office
Government Office
Convent Rd      Roscommon
Telephone No: 0906632900
We will refund you

:-(

I have to get a letter together for them and keep trying.

P.S. To the best of my knowledge and memory, I have searched everywhere on this side of the pond for info, including death certificate, censuses, obituaries, naturalization papers (there are none), etc.  One person said something about a "probate" but I'm not sure what that is yet.

I only met these other family members in the past year (long story but I didn't grow up knowing my biological father's family) so that is why I don't have as much info on Bridget.  I sent a mass e-mail to these family members yesterday regarding this stuff but so far only heard back from the ones mentioned above.
