Hi, I am a looking for information on a Bridget Kainon who married Thomas Flood and had a Son William Esmond Flood.  They are my relatives of mine but not a great deal is known about them.  Thomas would have been born around 1820 and Bridget around 1819.  Unsure of the spelling of Bridget's last name.  Could possible be Cannon or Keenan?  There is a marriage record at Taghmon, Meath 23-May-1835 which i have attached.  Any information on these three people would be greatly appreciated.

  • The paid site, Roots Ireland, does show Bridget's surname as Kainon on her marriage record. I also found the baptismal record for their daughter Judith Flood, 14 Apr 1836, Taughmon, parents - Thomas Flood & Bridget Cainan, sponsors - Thomas Murray & Ellen Cainon. I could not find a record for their son William nor any other children.

    Regards,

  • Thank you for this information.  It seems that there is some mystery around Bridget's last name.  Another poster suggested Trainor while ancestry.com suggests Ramon.  I have seen where someone has spelt it as Cannon as well.   I will see if I can find the record where it suggests Cainan or Cainon.

      

    William Esmond Flood doesn't appear to exist until he reached Australia.  His parents are listed as Thomas and Bridget.  Perhaps these people are the wrong ones?

     

    William died, 31 MAR 1912 Wangaratta, Victoria, Australia.  He would have been born about about 1849.  One listing has him coming from Kings County.  I can't find any information on him at all.  

    I have tried to find birth records but nothing has come up.  I can't even find him in immigration records.  

     

    Three very mysterious people!

  • Following up on this, it appears they may have moved before William was born.  Where they may have moved to remains a mystery.  Their names stop appearing in the church record not long after Judy was born.  

    If anyone can find information on Judy that would be great.  So far I can't find anything.
