Bridget Casey

Gender
Female
Place of migration
Stayed in Ireland

Bridget Casey married John Donovan on 01 Feb 1853 in Modeligo, County Waterford.  They are my third great-grandparents, and I have very little information on them.  I got their names from their daughter Catherine's marriage record.  Kate Donovan (b. 01 Aug 1853, Modeligo, Co. Waterford - 18 Apr 1928, Matawan, NJ) came to the US alone, but lived with the Sweeny/Casey families in Saratoga Springs, NY, until she met my second great-grandfather, Michael Carroll, in NYC.  They married and settled in Matawan, NJ.  I have no reason to believe that Bridget or John Donovan ever came to the USA, but it's possible.  I have no information on any siblings of Kate.
