Edmund and Bridget Hederman

Bruree (Limerick)

Edmund Hederman and wife Bridget? born between 1780-1790 and married around 1808? in Limerick. I cannot find any birth/death information that matches. They had 3 children - Thomas, Margaret and Edmund. There's a document from 1825 Edmond Hedderman Ireland, Encumbered Estates, 1850-1885 as his residence as a tenant in Cappanahane Limerick "Accepted proposal, dated 9th November, 1825, by Richard Mason to Denis Hedderman, and agreement for lease for 31 years and lessee's life concurrent."

Edmund and Bridget's son Edmund Hederman was born on July 2, 1814, in Kilmallock, Limerick and married Johanna Lynch (b. 1825) on July 19,1843 in Rockhill and Bruree, Limerick and they had 12 children. Their first 4 children were born between 1846-1851 in Rockhill and Bruree, Limerick and the next 8 in Hopkington and Chicopee Falls Massachusetts between 1854-1871. My great-grandmother was their daughter Mary Ann (b.1858) married Eugene O'Neil (b.1856 in USA) and they had 11 children. It appears that Edmund emigrated to the US via New York in 1851 and applied for citizenship in 1857 but there is no mention of his wife or children.

I'd like to confirm Edmund and Bridget's births and marriage if possible. Their children's death certificates state their parents names ad Edmund & Bridget. Griffith’s Valuation from 1849-1865 shows that Edmund Hedderman resided in 1853 in Barony Connello, Upper Cappanihane, Corcomohide, Limerick, Ireland and his Lessor was John Mason.

Thanks,

Joan

I searched the subscription site Roots Ireland and there is no Edmund Hederman/Hedderman baptismal records back in the late 1700s. I also did not locate the marriage record. Very few parishes in Co. Limerick (outside of the Limerick city parishes) have marriages records back to 1808. I also did not locate the 1814 record for their son in Kilmallock. Where did you locate that record?

I located five baptismal records for children of Edmund Hedderman and Johanna Lynch as follows: Catherine May 3 1846, Bridget December 8 1847, Thomas March 9 1849, Edmond February 23 1850 and Johanna September 30 1851. All records in Rockhill/Bruree. I looked at the sponsors and there was a Thomas Hedderman and a Michael Hedderman. Also, a Bridget Lynch and a Maria Lynch.
