I was wondering if there might be some information out there, perhaps on-line somewhere, on a baby called Sarah Fitzpatrick Conroy. She was born in 1866 and died 1868 age 1 in the Bradford area. It seems that there was no Mother's maiden name suggesting she may have been illegitimate. However, perhaps this might be an error.
It is not totally urgent but I am a bit curious to know if she might have been a daughter of my two x Great Grandparents James and Elizabeth Conroy nee Fitzpatrick. The birth and death of Sarah was registered in Bradford. James and Elizabeth were travellers so I don't rule out that they may have left Northumberland and Durham where they mostly seem to have lived. They were Catholics so if Sarah was their daughter she would have been likely to have had a Catholic baptism and burial.
I don't really want to buy a cert as I am not 100% that Sarah is an ancestor. I am hoping that someone might have access to a baptism or burial record for her which may give some indication.
Elizabeth remains my brick wall. I last see her in 1881 widowed and living with her eldest child Mary Watson, her husband William Watson and their children. I do not know what became of her after that and where she may have died. So any links to other places or people might hopefully lead to this mystery being solved one day.
