Biography

Ireland Native
Bridget (O'Keefe) Twomey was born in Ireland.

Bridget O'Keefe was born about 1873, the daughter of Daniel O'Keefe. a carpenter and publican from Watergrasshill, and his wife Abina Mary Troy.

Bridget O'Keefe was one of four siblings, all girls: was one of several siblings, all girls:

  1. Abina O'Keefe born October 14, 1872, and baptized on October 15, 1872, in Watergrasshill, Diocese of Cork and Ross, County Cork, Ireland, probably died in who probably died young, because another sister is named for her in 1880.
  2. Bridget O'Keefe, born 1873, who married Michael Twomey, a Laborer from Knopogue Carrignavor on February 25, 1911 in Watergrasshill.

Her baptismal sponsors were Patrick O'Keefe and Margaret Kirby. We do not have a marriage record for her, and she might have died young. She was named after her maternal grandmother Ellen O'Brien Troy.
  4. Norah O'Keefe born in 1875, who married Cornelius "Con" O'Riordan, a Laborer from Condonstown, son of David Riordan, on November 27, 1909, in Watergrasshill. Norah O'Keefe O'Riordan is probably recorded in his family in the 1911 Census of Ireland.

  7. Abina O'Keefe Savage was born December 2, 1880, and baptized on December 3, 1880. Her baptismal sponsors were James Troy and Hannah O'Keefe. Abby O'Keefe married William Savage on March 7, 1916 in Watergrasshill. She may have been named for an older sister born in 1872. But her baptismal record clearly states that this Abby O'Keefe, born 1880, married William Savage, Jr., son of William Savage Sr. and Mulcahy on March 7, 1916. Her marriage sponsors were David Savage and Kate Troy. This sponsor is probably Kate Troy, born 1890. her first cousin, daughter of James Troy of Monananig. Kate Troy would be 26 years old in 1916.
  8. Martha "Mary" O'Keefe born in 1878, who married John Curtin from Bishopisland, and had seven Curtin children.
