Hello, Im looking for birth dates, marriage date for Patrick McKenna and Rose Ann Wynne, who gave birth to Bridget McKenna around 1878. I believe Rose Ann was from Ardee Louth. I am researching my ancestry, but can’t seem to find these dates. Also, I would be interested in birth date for Bridget McKenna. Bridget arrived in Philadelphia, PA, USA in 1899.
Thank you!

Bridget was baptized in Ardee RC church on January 9 1880. She was likely born a few days or maybe a week before January 9th. Her civil birth record shows, Bridget was born January 16 1880 but likely the family changed the date to avoid a fine for late registration because the birth was registered on February 14th 1880.
Bridget had a brother James (1875), another brother John (1876) and a sister Mary (1882). They lived on Stoney Lane in Ardee.
The parents were married January 10th 1874. The father of Patrick was also Patrick McKenna and the father of Rose was John Wynne.
I looked for a baptismal record for Rose Wynne and located an April 22 1837 baptism in Ardee for a Rose Wynn with father John Wynn and mother Mary McNally. Rose would have been 36/37 when she married.
Did the entire family emigrate to Philadelphia? A ten year old would have had an adult with her for the voyage.
