Bridget had 2 brothers and 4 sisters, legend is her sisters came here, her brother John came here but returned to Ireland. Patrick Durkin remained in Ireland. I cannot find all the names of her sisters. By the meaning came here I mean Pittsburgh, PA, she told family, most of the people stayed on the train to Scranton, but she got off in Pittsburgh. Bridget married a James Brown I believe they both were on the 1st Steamship to Ellis Island, tracing James Brown it seems he left a port out of County Down. Any help appreciated. thanks NIk
