I would love to hear from any Brigdales out there, especially those with  roots in County Clare, Eire.

Hi Mary
 
There is no way of knowing for certain which Michael was the father.  Be very careful not to assume anything in this game, that is why we say prove everything as you go along.  Otherwise it is all too easy to go off on a wild goose chase.
 
Anyway, I do wish you success.
 
Marian

Mary I have Checked Out Cwgc to see if He was killed in France But Nothing.I found Marriages Ok and Presume That most of the Brigdales on Free Bmd are From One Family.As maz Said Before only One listed Death .The michael Born 1879, I think Is the one you Already Know ..Of all the Names Listed I Only Found one Michael Who was Listed At The School.I checked Out some Death Records But Nothing.Could it be possible He went Abroad,America  Or Australia Maybe

hi Mike.
 it's reilly good of you to try & find Michael brigdale.
you have found  (Bridget Hynes) Brigdale aged 80.she is with liveing her son  patrick's family Orchard lane 1901 census. she is down as a widow at this point.
as for michael going to oz he may have as part of the family left ireland in 1857 for oz.
if we can't find anything on michael brigdale. i will send for the wedding certs of michael brigdale who was married to mary troy then bridget hynes.
but as i ve told you  b4  i don't think its the same person think this to be the father married to mary troy.
and then the son michael married 2 bridget  hynes. once againe thankyou for all your hard work on this matter.
regards mary

Hi Mary.I have rechecked And I think your Correct On The Hynes one.That must be Son Michael.Where The other Michael Is is a Mystery.It may be best as Marian said Send for Docs.With Marriage Cert you Can be sure of At least one parent.

hi mike.
bet your fed up with the brigdale name now!
 would it be easyer to E.mail peter & paul cathedral Ennis. they sent me the baptismal cert i have on michael brigdale b 1853.
could ask if they could take a look at the marrage register. i only need the ages to see if it is the father /son who married Bridget Hynes.

Hi Mary By no means that im fed up With name I find All Genealogy Hard.It would be a good idea to try every aspect.Yes Contact them If not for your own satisfaction.
A couple of Questions,I would like to ask
1 Do you know if Mary Troy Remarried if So where
2 There is a Mary Troy listed in 1833 Married To Patrick Kelly In 1861 From Kilmahill. This is Just Outside Ennis.Any Relly Lol. [Kelly Side]
3  See if they have any Death records in Ennis For Michael.As most irish Would want to be Buried in the Town Of there Birth.I know this Because My father was.
4 Where was Original info from On Michael and Mary
5 Listed Names Are Available in Clare Library Site.So you Can trace Family Members From There .Contact at Library Peter Beirne.He is Very Helpfull
6 Did you know that most Brigdales Come from Ennis,The name goes way back into the 1600s
7 Last But not least Were you Aware You  Was signed in As A member Earlier in the year.
 
As i Said Try every Aspect,Dont Always Accept FIRST details as Correct.Without Certs To prove They are Correct.
Most Churches You can Get Baptism Cert For a small fee.Or Via Gro,From About Late 1800s i think Not sure Of Correct Date.Maybe Some Kind Irishman Can help On that.But Feel Free to Contact With Any Help You Need or What you Find.
Let Me know The Outcome
 
Take Care
 
Mike
