Bridget Congrave
1819 - 31/3/1878
Bridget was Calum's and Jamie's three times great grandmother.
Bridget married Edmund Gorman on October 14th 1826 in
Templeorum parish. At the time Edmund was resident at Three Bridges, although Bridget's address is not given in the Catholic
marriage register. The witnesses were Honora Doran and Bridget Fogarty.
It is not known when Edmund died, but it would
appear to have been before 1850, as Bridget was noted in Griffith's Valuation of Garrynarea as the householder (as Bridget
Gorman).
Bridget eventually passed away at Garrynarea on 31
MAR 1887. The cause was old age, 1 week, and she was noted as the widow of a farmer, resident at Garrynarea, in the parish
of Owning. The informant to the registrar on the same day was her grandson John Gorman, of Garrynarea, who
was present at her death.
