Bridget (Bedina) KELLY

(Abt 1893 - )

Bedina should not be confused with another Bedina Kelly who was born in 1893 in the townland of Spittle (not far from Darraghmore) to John and Ellen Kelly. Both Bedinas are listed in the 1901 and 1911 censuses. Given that each family had a daughter by the quite unusual name of Bedina (a form of Bridget) and the name David seems to have been traditional in both families, it is possible the two Kelly families were related.

Unfortunately we can find no trace of our Bedina (i.e. from Darraghmore) after the 1911 census. The Bedina from Spittle married Edmund Condon of Glenroe, Co. Limerick in Cork on 7 September 1922. They later emigrated to the United States and raised a family in Chicago.
