Did you try to get her death certificate? Are you sure she died in childbirth? Did the baby die as well? (just looking for clues here) Was she Carr when she came over, or did she come with mom and dad? Any thing you can add I will try to help ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bear den" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 8:36 AM Subject: [DONEGAL] need some guidence/suggestions My great-grandmother was BRIDGET CARR. She was born in 1877 in Donegal, Ireland to Thomas or Thor and SUSAN Carr (according to the marriage license). Bridget left Ireland and settled in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, US. She is listed on the 1910 census with her husband John R. DWYER and 5 children, the oldest being age 7. It's hard to read but it looks like the marriage license was June 1902. So I'm guessing that she might've sailed over between 1895 and 1900. Bridget died in childbirth in 1911 and a flood destroyed years worth of newspapers at the town library including the 1911 obits. How do I find her record of birth? -I only have the year -1877 Her parents? - Susan and Thomas or Thor Carr the town she lived in? - Don't know if Donegal is the town or county Siblings? Ship she sailed on? Could her surname have been Kerr or Carr while she lived in Ireland?
