Hi
Thank you for your offer Bridget Whelan nee Joyce nee Brennan was from Mayo Ireland but she settled in South Australia at a town named Kapunda her last husband was John Whelan but he died 1856 the same year as his son Hugh Whelan was born, snipets of news from Trove where assistant is asked for to help Bridget out but then nothing more.
Two of Bridget's daughters from previous marriage to Patrick Joyce went to New Zealand Catherine Martha Joyce married Michael Mc Cormack in 1876 at Hokitika N/Z and Mary Ann her sister died at ReeftonN/Z 1896 this is why i was assuming that maybe Bridget Wheelan left South Australia to be with her daughter or daughters after the death of her husband but as she had other children she would have stayed there until they were grown up to look after themselves.
Thinking that Bridget may have gone to New Zealand this is why i was enquiring about the Electorals Rolls but have been told they did not include women until about 1893
Maybe I have taken that wrong road trying to find her as she was only about 38 when her last husband died I did look for another marriage but nothing really concrete turns up.

Thank you for assistance.
