Bridget Murphy Carlow to US where is she
Trying to discover what became of a little girl, Bridget MURPHY, daughter of William MURHPY and Maryanne MOORE of Hacketstown, Co. Carlow IRE. As a young girl, aged between 12 and 15 years old, she was taken to the United States by her uncle, Denis MOORE, (under questionable circumstances) and
the family never heard from them again.
Estimated time she was taken to America was 1909. However, her exact age and birthdate are not known.
Bridget MURPHY was left an orphan after her parents died. Other siblings were:
John MURPHY, b. 1884 d. 1927, married to Kate Dalton (grandchildren of this couple still living in Ireland who always heard
this story and would like to know what became of their aunt Bridget)
William MURPHY
Denis MURPHY, died age 62 in Ireland
Lawrence MURPHY, died age 27 in Ireland
Kate MURPHY died 1954 in Ireland
Other MOORE relatives immigrated earlier to the US and settled in St. Croix County, WI and St. Paul, MN. Family thought possibly this is where Bridget was taken to in America.
Any information, or clues to information on Bridget MURPHY or her Uncle Denis MOORE would be welcome. Please respond to Claudia Schuman [email protected] Pat Casey [email protected]
