I have a Bridget SHANLY as a witness to my great grandparents marriage on 21 July 1871, RC Chapel of St Patricks, Trim, Meath, Ireland. The other witness was Patrick BOYLE. My greats were John KELLY & Catherine (Kate) BANNON. John KELLY's parents were Arthur KELLY & Alice . Kate BANNON's parents were Michael BANNON & Mary .
The following year my greats has a son, Michael & the year after that, 1873 they came to US, settling in Jersey City, NJ. I have not come across the name before or since of Bridget SHANLY.
