Research Notes

Her tombstone was likely a newer issue and has the name Beatrice has her first name, likely due to the fact that she is listed as B. Jane Brennan/Thomas on papers. I assume that her tombstone is an error, as she is listed as Beatrice on the cemetery database. The only places I can find for Bridget as first name is the 1851 census and her marriage record. August 22, 2021 - Bridget is confirmed as first name by family member. They stated that she did not like this name and went by "Bee".
