Migrated to/Born in USA

My 2nd great-grandmother, Bridget Murray, was born January 1861 in WhiteChurch/Mallow, County Cork, Ireland according to her funeral record and headstone or based on a possible baptism record that was just discover she would have been born in 1856. The baptism took place on 4 Feb 1856 in Blarney (which I've learned is a variant for Whitechurch), Cork, Ireland. The family was living in Dromgarriff at the time. She is the daughter of Michael O'Donohue/Donoghue and Julia Crean. Other similar baptism records provide possible siblings to be Daniel 1847, Honora 1848, Patrick 1852, Mary 1854 and John 1858. Bridget immigrated to the United States around 1875 where she married Thomas Murray of Ireland and had 7 children. She died on 4 June 1915 in San Francisco, California, USA. I would love to learn more about this ancestor, her parents and possible siblings.
