Biography

Bridget HORRIGAN, daughter of Patrick Horrigan and Margaret Lynch, was baptized on 23 October 1859 in Shandrum, County Cork, Ireland.[1][2] Her date of birth and place of birth were not given on this record.

In May 1888, Bridget, her husband (John) and their four children (William, Mary, Ellen and Margaret) arrived in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[3]
