Bridget McNamara born approx 1881 Newmarket on Fergus
Hello, you previously provided me some very helpful information in my search for my mum’s grandmother. I have now obtained some further information which I think might be of use in tracing her. Here’s a recap of what I know so far:
- my mum's grandma, Bridget McNamara, was born in the early 1880s. We have been unable to find a birth certificate although the 1911 UK census gives her birthplace as Newmarket on Fergus
- Bridget moved to England where she was was married as Delia McNamara to Walter Hudson in September 1902. Her father is given as Michael McNamara Gardener (deceased)
- Bridget/Delia gives her age as 20 on her marriage certificate which places her birth year in 1881/2 although her entry in the 1939 UK Register gives her date of birth as 30th November 1883
I do not know when Bridget came to England. I cannot find a trace of her in the UK 1901 census but have recently found this entry in the 1901 Ireland census which shows a Bridget around the right age with only the mother as head of the household. I think that Newgrove is not too far from Newmarket on Fergus?
Could you tell me how I might take this search further given how common the McNamara name was in that area. Thanks in advance for your help.
