Bridget Riley married John Worley 1848 Melbourne Australia
My Great Great Grandmother, Bridget RILEY, married John WORLEY in the Wesleyan Methodist Church, Port Phillip, Melbourne Australia, on 27th May, 1848, witnesess Agnes & Frederick GREEN.
Bridget is also referred to as 'Bridie'.
She and John WORLEY had the following children:
1851 Mary
1853 Ellen (my great grandmother)
1856 James
1863 John
Ellen married in New Zealand, to William WELLS.
1874 3rd September at Blue Spur, near Lawrence, Otago, New Zealand.
Their eldest son, George Robert WELLS is my grandfather, he married Emily Jane GOULDS in 1910, in Rakaia, Canterbury, New Zealand.
Their third son, James WELLS, b. 1814, Rakaia, Canterbury, New Zealand, is my father.
I do have a possible origin for Bridget but have yet to prove it:
Bridget Riley - born c1828 County Antrim, Ireland
Love to hear from anyone with knowledge of Bridget or her descendants.
Cheers,
Brenda
