What happened to Bridget Gammell of Nicker?
« on: Wednesday 06 September 23 13:03 BST (UK) »
Hello, I wonder if anyone can help? I've hit a brick wall!
My great-grandfather (James Gammell who married Mary Ryan in Nicker) had a sister called Bridget Gammell. I have her birth on 20 Jan 1886, to Edmond Gammell and Johanna Treacy. I have her in the 1901 census, living in Nicker with her parents and siblings. I have her on 21 Jun 1919 as a witness at her sister, Johanna's marriage to Thomas Hayes in Nicker. Finally, I have her on 15 Apr 1921 as present at her mother's death, again, in Nicker.
I can't find her in the 1911 census anywhere in Ireland. I can't find a marriage or a death for her. I have read that she may have married a Corbett, but there's no evidence of this.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can look next? I've been searching for 6 six years for her, with no luck. Thank you  :)

Do the 1919 & 1921 events  refer to her as Gammell?

Hello,
They refer to her and her mother/sister as Gamble.

Nicker is in Limerick (according to Google) but you have posted on the Tipperary board?

Can you post the URL to the 1901 entry you found

Hello,

On the Irish Genealogy site, Nicker is in Tipperary. I get confused by all the areas, so it may well be under Limerick, as it in on Ancestry.
   
Here is the link to the census entry for Bridget.

Thank you for helping :D

I have asked the moderator to move your post to the Limerick board.  I'll keep looking but can't see anything at the moment.  Ancestry outgoing & incoming passenger lists have nothing.  A lot of Irish girls went as servants to the USA & by the 1911 census she was 24/5 so may have gone for a year or so.

In 1911 Bridget is with her siblings in Bruff.
House number 21.2
It says   daughters.
Always look at the return sheet She is single.
http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/reels/nai002725050/
Then look at the house and building return sheet (there 16 lines to these sheets so look for page two)
She shared a house with a Mary Naughton.

It's in Tipperary registration district for BMDs but county Limerick.
