McGovern/McGowan/McCaughan, Regan and White.
« on: Thursday 28 March 24 19:24 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for information on a Bridget Regan who died 29 March 1873 in Heywood, Lancashire. She is described as aged 64 and the widow of Patrick Regan, farmer.

Bridget appears for definite in the 1861 census (there may be a sighting of her in 1851 but that is less certain), living with her daughter and son in law Bridget and John White in Heap, Bury, Lancashire.
Bridget McGovern and John White married at St Chad's Rochdale in 1852 and Bridget's father is stated to be James McGovern.

 In the 1871 census all 3 of them (still in Heap)) say they were born Co Sligo.

So I'm looking for a Bridget born c 1809 in Co Sligo who married twice;
firstly, James McGovern with whom she had at least 3 children Bridget, Ann, and Anthony
and secondly, Patrick Regan.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.
