Individual Details
Bridget NOLAN
(Abt 1815 - 9 Apr 1886)
It is not known if Bridget and her husband, Loughlin, had more children besides Malachy below.
Bridget died of pneumonia, from which she had suffered for seven days, according to her death record Her son, Malachy, was present at her death. Her husband, Loughlin, outlived her by only 15 months.
The Nolan surname is very common throughout Ireland, especially in the south-east. It is strongly linked to the Carlow area where it is an anglicised form of O Nualláin. The prevalence of the name in counties Mayo and Galway is explained by the migration of a branch of the Carlow family there in the sixteenth century. There was also a separate Ó hUallacháin family from west Cork, whose name was also anglicised as Nolan. Given the above it is almost certain that Bridget was descended from the Carlow Nolans. Unfortunately it is not known where she was born. However, given that rural people tended to marry into local families in 19th century Ireland, and that Bridget married someone who was probably living in Garryhill at the time, it is possible that she was born in the Garryhill area.
