Speculation is that Bridget was baptised in Dunlavin, County Wicklow, the daughter of Edward McGrath. She had emigrated to England by the time of her marriage in 1862 to James Powell, in Lancashire; this resulted in 5 known off-spring before her death in Lancashire in 1877.
Co. Wicklow, or Cill Mhantáin in Irish, is located in the mid-east region of Ireland. It is known as The Garden of Ireland and is home to the scenic Wicklow Mountains. Our county town is Wicklow and we have a population of approximately 142,332. We look forward to helping you connect with your ancestors’ place of origin.
