BRUGGY / BROGGY Jeremiah; CLA,IRL; -1831 My gr gr gr grandfather Jeremiah BRUGGY/BROGGY, of the townland of Drumline in Co. Clare, married Ann/Hannah HINCHEY around 1831, probably either in the parish of Newmarket-on-Fergus, where the offspring to be named shortly were baptised, or in Ennis. The Bruggy children included those appearing in the aforementioned baptism records (Annie, March 1832; Mary, August 1834; Lot, August 1840) as well as those missing from the incomplete baptism records (Stephen, c.1830; Jeremiah, c.1837; and my ancestor Margaret, c.1838). It is thought Jeremiah died in the late 1850s, triggering the emigration of his widow and son Stephen to England, and other children (Jeremiah, Lot and Margaret) to New South Wales. Nothing is known of the destinies of children Annie or Mary. A cluster of Bruggy families have been identified from various 1830s records at Drumline/Newmarket-on-Fergus.
