Bridget Blanch / Daniel Young Paulstown, Goresbridge Kilkenny
« on: Wednesday 31 July 19 02:18 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for any information I can find on my great great grandparents Daniel Young and Bridget Blanch (though family lore says her surname was Griffin)

All I have been able to find is a parish birth record for someone I believe is my great grandfather Lawrence Young born 1841 in Paulstown, Goresbridge and perhaps his brother Robert in 1844.  Lawrence's death certificate from 1911 says he was born in Kilkenny

They eventually ended up in Trenton, NJ around 1850.

Are there any Youngs or Blanchs still in this area?

I've not had much luck finding any other info, no parish marriage records or anything.  Daniel was born +/-1815 and Bridget +/- 1820. Any suggestions on where to search will be greatly appreciated.

"...They eventually ended up in Trenton, NJ around 1850...."


Who is they?  The 2 named or all of them?

If any stayed then Civil Reg started 1864 for R.C's

https://www.swilson.info/regdistmap.php?gregdistid=89  shows the District for there.

So  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01o4d/  gets on Deaths 1864 to 1900, for example as per Search  performed.

If any Married then change it to Marriages and use year ranges 1864 to 1870 etc

the site is free but you have to do Security check and Sign in, I just press any 2 keys  ;D to sign in!

They all headed to NJ I believe in 1852. Daniel and Bridget lived until 1880 and 1884 respectively in Trenton, NJ.  The children Lawrence, Robert and Anne spent the rest of their lives in NJ as well.

There is some confusion as to Bridget's maiden name.  Some family lore says she was a Griffin but the
paper trail show she was a Blanchfield before marrying Daniel Young in 1838.  Maybe this was her second marriage.

I'm currently trying to make a link to a Lawrence Young that I've found in Griffiths as potentially Daniel's father based on naming practices

Good to see you're making good progress!

Bridget lived until 1884 and died how old?

I believe she was 64, born in 1820. I have however found a couple of different dates 1810 and 1818. I don't have an actual obituary or death certificate (yet anyway) but 1820 appears to be the date most consistently used.

Thanks for your help
