Biography
"John married Bridget Casey. In those early days the going was hard for the farmer's wife. The saying was that it took two wives to see a farmer through. John's wife Bridget died giving birth to her seventh child who also died. This was in 1872 and William the eldest child was but eleven. " Quoted from Bridget's daughter-in-law Margaret's Story of the Family. [1] [2]
The early Canada censuses verify that John and Bridget Prendergast lived in Hibbert township, Perth County until her death in 1872. [3] [4]

I'm looking for a Bridget who married Hugh Carney, probably mid-19th C. He was from Wisconsin; she came from Co. Cork. One son was Joseph Patrick Carney, Milwaukee alderman; his son was Clarence Joseph Carney, my maternal grandfather. Anyone have any information?

Did the size of their own families represent a response to having grown up in a small house that eventually held a family with eleven children? In spite of those small families, the number of 20th century descendants from William Prendergast is extensive.
