The quest...Just as a clarification to this post --<br /><br />The question was about whether or not Bridget could have been a child of Timothy Browne and Hannah Kelly born in the gap between David and John. Footnote 3 in the previous post on Arriving in America addressed whether or not a baptismal record for a possible Bridget could be found. I did find a baptismal record for Bridigam Browne at Patrickswell RC church for 29 Jun 1832. She is the daughter of John Browne and Helen Kelly, likely siblings of our Timothy Browne and Hannah Kelly. As stated in the footnote noted above, it was not unusual for extended family members to travel together with the idea of earning enough money in America to assist in the immigration of the rest of the family. This Bridget would have correctly been age 16 at the time of sailing and would not have had difficulty finding a job. Irish maids in wealthy Boston family homes were in high demand during this era.

Or perhaps a child was born that was not found in the baptismal records as James was not, but who died before they left Ireland. We may never know the answer in this life anyway.
