I'm looking for any information about Bridget McGourty who was born in Ireland in 1867. She emigrated to the US but I don't know when. I do know she was married in the US in 1887. I have no other information about her Irish family and have not been successful in my research so far. If you know any information that may be a match, please respond. Thank you.
Pat:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
Civil registration started in 1864 for births. There were no Bridget McGourty records in 1867 (the closest was 1872), There were two Bridget Magourty registered births in 1867. Below are transcripts for the two records. However, you would need to try to locate her parents names from either a marriage record, death record or other source in order to confirm whether either of these records is for your ancestor.
Let me know if you have questions.
