A John Lawrence and an Ellen Bow. wit to marr of Thomas Carter and Bridget Walshe in 1845 When Bridget Walsh bpt.1823 dau. of Wm Walsh and Biddy Bowe....her sponcers were Michael and Catherine Bowe. Michael Bowe and Bridget Tobin bn circa 1775 marr. approx. 1794 , (no record of this marr. which perhaps means they might have come from Kilkenny ??? ) BUT !!!! their 1st child Elizabeth was bpt. 17 May 1795 in Ballinakill, . Bridget Bowe (their 2nd child is my direct line) So I would like to know if you have anything especially on these two people. Best regards Sheila.
