Hi, I am new to the list, but here goes: I am looking for information on my great, great grandfather, Francis J. Bridges, Jr. On his death certificate it states that he was born in Ireland, where I don't know. He was born in 1815 and died Dec. 27, 1899 in the Bronx, NY. In 1885 he lived at 164 E. 82nd Street, NYC. He immigrated to NY from Ireland in 1853. All of this I got from his death certificate. He married Pauline V. CRAMER abt. 1859, probably in NYC. She died Nov. 23, 1855 and was born in 1830, France. They had 6 children who were all born and died in NY State. They were all buried at Calvary Cemetery, Queens, NY except Charles who was buried at St. Andrews on the Hudson in NY. i. Charles BRIDGES who became a Jesuit Priest in Hudson Valley, NY ii.
