Looking for information on Brigid Columb, daughter of Hugh Columb & Brigid Sexton. Brigid was born & baptized at St. Colmcille's Church in December,1852. Married to Patrick McNerney, sometime around 1885. Eventually they moved to the United States, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Patrick was born & baptized in November, 1854at St. Colmcille's Church. He was the son of Patrick McNerney and Ann McGarry.

Hello again!
I searched on Roots Ireland and the civil marriage records available on www.irishgenealogy.ie and did not find a marriage record. Any possibility they were married in the States?

I looked at the 1920 census and if I have the correct family, it appears they emigrated separately? Do you have access to Ancestry.com?

Geoff,
You may already have the information below since you last posted but I thought it best to share anyway.
On Find a Grave there is a gravestone in St Mary's Cemetery, Hermitage, Mercer County, PA, USA for a Patrick McNerney died 10/6/1922 and Bridget Columb died 22 ? /1/1929.
There is also a record of a Bridget Columb married in the Granard Area, Ireland, in the Jan-Mar 1894 quarter, but I have yet to find that marriage in the records online.
Her father Hugh died 7/1/1897
Her mother Bridget died 1/3/1899
They lived in the townland of Aghacordrinan, Columbkille, Co. Longford.
Children of Hugh and Bridget I have found:
Daniel baptism 31/1/1847 died 14/11/1927 married Mary Donohoe 14/2/1888
Patrick baptism 24/10/1849 died 10/1/1923 married Susan McCormick 30/9/1880 (parents of Padraic Colum 1881-1972)
Ann baptism 20/6/1851 died 12/1/1936 married Mathew Ryder 23/11/1882
Bridget baptism 9/12/1852 married Patrick McNerney
Alice? (maybe Josephine?) baptism 10/8/1854
Rosann baptism 12/3/1857 died 23/11/1937 married Robert C Beatty 15/12/1897
Hugh baptism 18/6/1859 died 24/9/1940? married Anne McNamee 4/11/1901
Maria baptism 22/1/1861
Mathew baptism 6/1/1863 died 14/5/1882
Maria birth 24/7/1864
Margaret bith 11/1/1867 died 30/6/1957 married Philip Hourican 18/8/1889
There is a Daniel Columb in Aghacordrinan in the Tithe Applotment Books in 1823 and again in 1933. Could be Bridget's father Hugh's father? There is a Hugh Columb in Aghacordrinan at the time of Griffiths Valuation in 1854.
I have lots of Columbs in my family tree. Hopefully all the above is correct and helpful to you.
All the best,
Mary
