Again thanks for your time
Brian.

Sorry I haven't got anything to add to the search but I just thought you might like to know that I did a double-take when I saw the name of one of the witnesses to the wedding - it's my daughter's name! If it's any help, the name Scahill is thought to be from County Cavan.

A warm welcome Brian
Good advice from D.S
All the best with your search

Thanks Barbara
Talking about Bridget Scahill i was wondering if she was Patricks sister now married but again with many searches unable to find a marriage between a Bridget Walsh and a Scahill so if any one has any thoughts can you let me know.
Thanks for your welcome Tina.
Brian.
