I have little information about my grandmother, Bridget Tuohy, also called Catherine Bridget, from Balla, Manulla and born around 1874. Some accounts have her birth year as 1877. She came to the US around 1898. Is there any information out there?

    Welcome to Ireland Reaching Out!

    Do you know Bridget's parents names? I located an 1874 baptismal record in the Balla RC church on the subscription site Roots Ireland. See below.

  • Thank you very much for this information. It very well may be my grandmother as I had heard the name Walsh before. However, she is listed with different birthdates: her marriage certificate says June 15, 1877, and her death certificate Jan. 25, 1876. That date in January, though, would work with this date of her baptism (except for the year.) Also, I have a note that says RC Parish, Balla, Manulla, Drum...Diocese Tuam, someone had scribbled years ago.
