Greetings Bob Here's what I have on Bridget Rochford Baptised Tulla Co. Clare Ireland 1831 Parents Patrick and Mary Rochford (nee Hennessy) I thinks Bridget arrived Melbourne (maybe from the USA) about 1859, could have been earlier, I have never found her on a ship or passenger list If she arrived earlier its possible she married Stephen Brennan in 1857 My record has her marrying her cousin Thomas Rochford at St. Patrick's in Melbourne in 1869, Bridget would have been 38 at the time of her marriage to Thomas, so an earlier marriage is not out of the question. Bridget and Thomas had one child Two of Bridgets sisters Jane and catherine also migrated to Melbourne (from Ireland) Does any of this ring any bells?

Ah ... not the same person, Patrick. My Bridget's parents were Edward ROCHFORD and Mary MULLIGAN.
