Brennan/Bulger
Hi,
Bit of a long post so my apologies at the outset.
I am trying to find information about my great grandparents, Patrick Brennan (1839 - 1902) and Ellen Bulger (1843 - 1913). The year of birth Is based on their age shown on the death certificates as I have no birth records for either of them.
I have found just the one record of a marriage between a Pat Brennan and an Ellen Boulger. This was in May 1859 in Leighlinbridge which I realise might not be my great grandparents. According to the marriage record, they were living at Raheendoran. However, I understand that my Irish ancestors originated from the Kilkenny area and the 1911 Census for Ellen indicates she was born in Carlow.
Just to provide a little more flesh on the bones, I know they lived in Carnarvon, Wales for a few years, where my grandfather, also Patrick, was born in 1870 and great uncle Peter in 1866. My great uncle Edward was born in 1872 in Bangor. Not sure where they were after 1872 until they appear on the 1891 Census in Kendal, Westmoreland before moving to Yorkshire at the turn of the century. Both died in the Liversidge/Heckmondwike area.
Is it possible that anyone could identify birth records from what I have provided? Also, are there any records available which might tell me when they came to England/Wales.
One final piece of information from the 1911 Census for Ellen is that she had 10 children, 6 who were still living, 4 who had died. I have only ever found the 3 born in Wales.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
Martin Brennan
