And I've since discovered when/where "my" Bridget O'Rorke is buried (RC), which is fantastic, so that's one query solved! Getting her baptism without knowing her parents names - that's another day's work. I also know that there's a marriage in 1861, Kildare for a Bridget McNally, and also one for Michael Rourke, Kildare, 1861, but unfortunately they didn't marry each other. Now Christopher - that's another matter. I've been trying to find a birth/baptism for him for over 25 years, but with no success. I actually have over 25 certs from different counties, but not with parents Michael and Bridget. It's a mystery! Michael Rorke is not in the 1901 census, but Bridget is, but under "Rurke" (have informed National Archives). And I know Christopher didn't emigrate - I have all his details from 1901 up to 1935 when he died. Thank you again for the trouble you went to for me - it's much appreciated.
