I have found baptism records for these children of David Guiry and Ellen Matthews in Dromcolliher-Broadford parish: Michael (1848), Maurice (1849), Thomas (1851), James (1853), John (1855), Patrick (1857), Johanna (1859), Margaret (1861), and Catherine (1863), but have been unable to find a record for Bridget Guiry, my great grandmother. I presume she was the first born (c. 1845-7), but neither the parish priest nor the records I've found so far get me to her birth record. As an adult she lived in New York City and died there in 1898. Her parents were married in the same parish on 20 Feb 1844 and also lived in New York City Any information would be appreciated. -- Barbara

Hello again!
The only suggestion I have (and you may have done this already) is to scan the parish register for the baptism. Maybe Guiry was illegibly written on her record. http://registers.nli.ie/parishes/0869
