Find Ancestors

My great granddad Thomas was married to Margaret Duignam, they lived in London. She must have died before 1901 census because his second wife Bridget is on that census. I got this information before and cannot find it. The second marriage would have been between 1890 and 1901 in London and it is Bridget's surname that I am looking for, if at all possible. I am not coming up with anything in the searches here, but I do know in 2007 I got this info somewhere.

This one perhaps

Yes that's the family alright. i have that page of the census myself and it is difficult to read. As I live in Co Galway now myself, it is Monivea. My son is getting married on Friday and his mother in law to be is Bridget from Monivea, that is why I am checking again.!!!

My granny was Linda and she married PJ Wallace. was that marriage in UK? I hadn't known that.

That is more than likely Bridget. I thought it was a less well known name than Ward, but possibly when I asked, there were no Wards left in Monivea in 2007. Thanks a million for that

Bearing in mind Bridget would have been 35 when she married Thomas, she may well have been a widow - so not born as Ward. You would need a copy of the marriage cert to check for their status and father's names - it isn't given on the bmd index.

Wow i didnt have the Dignam info. My granny must have been visiting in 1911. Thanks for that. My parents are living up near Portnashangan now, that is where Granny and Granddad settled.

As for Bridget, thanks. Not sure on any of it. I was on the verge of ordering the marriage cert in 2007 and didn't. I did get my granny's birth cert and Thomas first marriage cert. Will have to continue now!!

If you want to order certificates do so through the GRO, £9.25 a shot:
