“The closest I can get to a marriage for Bridget and Michael is a marriage between Michael Cahill and Bridget Battle in 1863 in Bradford, Yorkshire.  There is a Michael Cahill that dies in 1871 in Bradford as well.  If this is their marriage I also wonder if they had other children.”

Have you checked this couple? There is also a Bridget Cummins on the same page.

This Tibohine baptism looks good - worth noting

25th July 1838
Michael Callaghan - parents Luke and Mary Morrisroe

The birth fits with that death age in 1871

[heywood]

I have been able to work out that that Bridget Sharkey was born Cahalan in approx 1818 in Tibohine, Roscommon.


How did you work this out please?


The Sharkeys are in Bradford in 1851 - only Luke b Ireland from their children.

It is the closest I have been able to get... some of the names are a bit different though.... but it is the best I have been able to come up with so far:

In the 1861 census Bridget Sharkey was 43 so this puts her birth around 1818.
A Brigittam Cahalan was born in 1818 in Tibohine to Jacobi Cahalan and Margarittae Carty.
Luke Sharkey (Bridget's first child) was born around 1848 in Ireland.
Brigida Conahgan married Joannes Sharkey on 28 January 1848 in Ireland.

Your locating of the Thomas Sharkey mmn Cahalin born 1857 Bradford, also makes me feel like I am heading in the right direction as this is the year her son Thomas was estimated to have been born.
