Biography

Bridget Hickey, shopkeeper, of Sallymount applied for a Poverty Relief Loan in November 1843. She received £4 principal on which 20 shillings interest was payable. In 1849 Bridget Hickey,and her guarantors James Massy, and William Kennedy were served with a notice that Bridget had neglected to pay most of the amount owing and they had to appear in the Sessions-House of Castle Connell. There is an indication that Bridget was sister of James Massy, probably she was the sister of James Massy's wife Ann[1]

In a return to the Clerk of the Peace signed 5 March 1853 associated with Bridget Hickey’s loan, Bridget Hickey was reported to be a pauper last seen in the City of Limerick about November 1852. James Massey, one of her guarantors,a fishing rod maker, is reported to going to Australia in November last. This fits with his Australian arrival on the Florentia in April 1853. The other guarantor, William Kennedy, was a labourer who went to America about 1850.[2]
