Wondering about your Limerick Mulvihills
Bridget Mulvihill, born 1 Jan 1835 to Michael Mulvihill and margaret heffernan, Athea parish, Co. Limerick. married Michael Bresnahan, born next day, 2 Jan 1835, same parish (same page in church record).
Was in Athea in Sept, and now understand the Limerick/Tarbert issue. Only 6 miles apart. tons of Mulvhills in the Tarbert church cemetery.
I don't have any family for Michael Mulvihill, or Margaret heffernan, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Michael and Bridget immigrated to US in 1883 through Quebec, to New Haven CT, before settling in Buffalo, NY. Michael's mother is Mary Roche (who I have nothing about) and his godfather is James Woulfe- a name all over Athea!!
