Hi All, I’m searching for information on my 3rd GGmother Bridget Horan. Born Killucan 1821 to parents J Horan and Anna Reynolds. Bridget married Peter McNulty in Birkenhead, England and died in 1900. Appreciate your time. Barry
Hi Barry,
I saw your Ancestry tree where their son Michael, age 20 in 1861, was born in Ireland. So, it makes more sense if Bridget and Peter married in Ireland, not England. I searched Roots Ireland (paid site) for their marriage and Michael's birth, but did not locate any records. They could be from a parish that does not have records back to the 1840s. The tradition was a couple would marry in the parish that the bride was from. It is not likely that someone from county Mayo would marry someone from county Westmeath in Ireland in that era....the record you show from Bridget's birth could be another person, and as there is no record for Peter's birth, it is not certain he was from Mayo. The letter "J" you have for Bridget's father is the name John...written in Latin as "Joanne". Given that she did not name any of her children John or Anne might indicate that those are not her parents.
Regards,
Could this be your Brigid? Croghan is the RC parish, and the townland of Killucan is within it.

About Michael b. 1861. Possibly he was Peter's child by an earlier marriage?
Thank you Carolyn and Patricia - this information is greatly appreciated. I’ve ordered both of their death certificates to see if they shed any more light. Barry
