Born in Waterford City, Ireland, Bridget came to the United States around 1885, landing in Philadelphia (her parents Patrick and Mary (Sullivan) remained in Waterford, residing on Barrack Street). In the U.S., Bridget eventually married William Killinger and moved to the Reading area of Pennsylvania.
