Parents of Bridget Mary Josephine Higham nee Sexton born Ennystmon in 1787

[Bridget Fowkes]

Please could anyone help me find my grandmother’s birth and marriage certificates, she was born in Ennystmon in 1787, her name was Bridget Mary Josephine Sexton, she married my grandfather James William Higham of the Royal Yorkshire Regiment on 24/11/1897 according to his paybook.   He was based at the Curragh Army Camp at the time of their marriage.

This maybe a long shot in the 1841/51 census for Clondagad, Clare there is a Bridget Sexton with 5 siblings and father John Sexton and possible mother Anne Sexton.

If her birth was 1787 she could'nt have married in 1897.
