Have you been able to find the family in UK census from 1881 onwards census.

If not can post details.

You have posted on the Derry forum rather than Mayo.
Where do you have her born Co Mayo?
Was her residence in Oldham on her marriage in Manchester?
Who were the witnesses to the marriage?
As SS asks, do you have the family in censuses?

[heywood]

I see in 1911, Bridget is b Co Mayo and Henry is b Derry.

Thanks S S. I hadn’t found them.

Cannot see Bridget in England/Wales in 1871 census, so any previous info for her pre 1873 is going to be difficult to find. I see in 1911 she records has having had 3 children, 2 living 1 died, do you know who the third child was?

Hello

Thank you all for the quick responses

The earliest census I can find is 1891 I cannot find her any in earlier census. I have her in all the later cesus until death in 1914 I was not aware of a third child

Thank you for the information about the 1881 Census

Her residence was in Oldham when she married in Chorlton at The Churgh of St. Francis

Witnesses to the marriage were

Patrick kelly and  Mary Prendergast

Should I also ask in the Mayo forum?

Thanks again
