Individual Details

Bridget MURPHY

(Abt 16 Jan 1853 - 28 Jul 1926)

Sponsors at Bridget's christening were Thomas MacDonnell and Joanne MacDonnell.

We know that Bridget never married and it appears that she lived in Knocklonogad with her unmarried brothers Patrick and John. Please see the notes above on Bridget's older brother Patrick for details.

Bridget, who farmed in Knocklonogad, died of heart failure aged 73. The informant on her death record was a Loughlin Doyle of Knocklonogad, who is described as a nephew of Bridget's. However, we are unaware of any sister of Bridget's who was married to a Mr. Doyle. Bridget did have a nephew named Loughlin Ryan who lived near Knocklonogad so perhaps the death record should have read Loughlin Ryan.
