Dear Bev, (Edmonds) Thanks for checking your Mc Bride family, all I know is that Hannah/Anna Mc Bride married William Schultz and when Mary Helena was born, her mother stated that she was born in Ireland. Yes, I too have a gg grandmother who was born in Dublin and with a name like Mary Connor I have never been able to trace her. I do not know if she was born in Dublin city or county.
