not obvious to me on 1911 census.
Bridget was born 1879 in Carrowrea to Michael Gorman and Mary Kate Whitty

Michael died in 1880 and Mary Kate Whitty widow Gorman married my greatgrand father Robert Kent in 1883.
Bridget 1901

Initially i did not think she had survived to adulthood till i found this My Heritage Family tree Michael O'Gorman 1880 to 1963 which mentions he had a sister Bridget Kelly O'Gorman.

any help to locate them after their marriage much appreciated as she would be my gran's half sister.

Hey,
I am a descendant of Bridget. A few year back I saw your posts regarding Mary Whitty Gorman at the time I was working from a bunch of Death Cards with several Michael Gorman's, so was cautious about linking her to my tree as I wasnt sure which one she was married to, but knew she was related.
Mary Whitty is my GGGrandmother through Bridget(so she did indeed live till adulthood).
Send me an IM.

Ah, Pitty about the IM restrictions. I will have to break up my sentences to make many more posts to meet the restriction.

So Bridget and Michael had 4 children and 4 great grand children. They did indeed end up in Dublin but the family was seperated due to Michael's death during WW1. Michael's employer at the time helped the family out, but for a time my Grandfather was sent to live with relatives in Carroreigh. She is buried in Deansgrange cemetary.
I can send you more details and dates via IM as restrictions seem to have lifted.

Stroke of luck
strange how searching one thing can lead to another,while looking up the births of the Kent Children i came across Margaret Whitty born 1892 in Palace to John Whitty and Kate Freeman https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/birth_returns/births_1893/02312/1866722.pdf
so decided to look up their marriage turns out he is a brother of Mary Kate and Robert Kent was his witness at the marriage
https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/marriage_returns/marriages_1884/10895/5979775.pdf
and John was the witness at Mary Kate's marriage to Robert Kent
