I'm looking for information on my Great Grandmother Bridget Molloy or her parents John Molloy and Anne Dunne. Bridget migrated to Australia in around 1854 and working back from her age at her death was born in around 1834. I have narrowed down the parish from a distant cousin who was from Kilcormac parish. I'm hoping that someone may know of my relatives as little is known by those of us here in Australia. Thank you, Marie Smith
Marie:
Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!
The RC baptismal records for Kilcormac parish start in 1821 https://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0903 The Kilcormac records are on the subscription site Roots Ireland. However, when I searched for Bridget Molloy with father John and mother with surname Dunn, I get no record. There is a December 1st 1833 record where the father is John and the mother is B. Connor preumably Bridget Connor. There were a number of siblings to this Bridget Molloy.
Let me know what questions you have.
