Hi Maureen,
There are more than 100 people researching this couple (see Ancestry public member trees). They would probably be able to assist you.
Good luck.
Mary thank you so much, you sent me down a new path. I'm thrilled to say I have now confirmed that Bridget died in Ireland. I hope to visit her burial place one day. I can't thank you enough. We're going to Geelong to have lunch at the All Nations and celebrate. Maureen.
Thank you Patricia. Local knowledge from this and other sites has helped me enhance my understanding and improve my tree. All the best, Maureen.
