Bridget Brennan married 3 June 1888 St Nicholas Galway to Patrick Kelly (c.1856-1936).  They had a son John who remained a bachelor (1889-1937).  Bridget died as result of childbirth on 4 Dec 1890 at Suckeen.  Her husband Patrick married 2ndly in Galway in 1896 and had 4 other children.  My interest  is in Patrick's 2nd marriage.   Trust this is of some assistance

Thank you so much. I didn't know that Bridget  had died so early.Does anyone know where Myles & Mary Brennan would be buried if they lived in Suckeen.
