Pryal, Jordan and Forde from Ballycastle

MayoBallycastle (Mayo)

I have gathered quite of bit of information on James Pryal and his family so I am more interested in learning about his wife Bridget Forde who was born in 1852.  Their youngest son, Thomas, is my great grandfather.  I have not been able to determine who were Bridget Forde's parents and if she had siblings.

I have a picture of Bridget Forde which is quit faded and would love to see a picture of James Pryal.  According to the 1901 census the family lived in Ballyglass.

Catherine Jordan is James Pryal's mother and I have no information on when she was born, where, parents, and siblings.

I would appreciate any information or guidance that can be provided.

Sincerely,

Eileen

Ballycastle Church records start in 1853 which is a year late for Bridget but possibly baptism records for younger siblings may be available. The Mormon Church has microfilmed the records. If you go to www.familysearch.org, you can order the film online and have the film sent to a local Family History Center hopefully close to you where you can look at the film.
