Looking for info on Thomas Reilly and his wife Bridget Flood of Cavan possibly Crosserlough. Their son Philip was born Sept. 1859 and emigrated to New Jersey in 1880. He married Sarah Kelly in 1884, in NJ. Her parents were James and Elizabeth Hollowed Kelly, possibly from Rathcoole, Dublin. Philip's obit mentioned Cavan. Any help would be appreciated.

I looked at Roots Ireland www.rootsireland.ie Roots is a pay site to view transcriptions of church records.
The 1859 baptismal record for Philip was in the Crosserlough RC church.
I looked for a marriage record for Thomas and Bridget but did not find one. I did find an 1856 marriage record for a Thomas Reilly and a Mary Flood in the Kilbride RC parish. Kilbride is the parish just to the south of Crosserlough. Is it possible that she was Mary Bridget Flood?

I just found your message. Thank you for looking. I don't know if her name included "Mary". It could be possible. Did Philip's record give the parent's names ? Philip had 3 daughters and none were named Mary or Bridget, meaning there was no naming pattern used for the girls to include those names. Are there any death records for Thomas and Mary Bridget?
