Hello! My great-great grandfather was Patrick Larkin, born in Galway in 1809. He married Bridget Keeley in Ireland. They both emigrated to Concord, New Hampshire, where Bridget died in 1889. Does anyone know the birth year or birthplace of Bridget? And does anyone know if there are any living relatives of these two people in Galway? I may be visiting there soon. Thank you very much.
Here is birth info for the couple's eldest son:
Name: Patrick Larkin
Date of Baptism: 28-Nov-1843
Parish/District: BALLINAKILL
County Co. Galway
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: Patrick Larkin Mother: Bridget Keiley
Sponsor 1 /Edmond Burke
Sponsor 2 /Mary Burke

Possibly this is Bridget's baptism:
Name: Bridget Keely
Date of Baptism: 29-Nov-1812
Address: Shell Road
P arish/District: RAHOON
Gender: Female
County Co. Galway
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Father: Thomas Keely Mother: Not Recorded
I noticed on some U.S. censuses that Patrick Sr.'s birth year was around 1814-15. You might want to expand your search years when looking for his baptism.
Thank you very much!
