Ireland / Re: A problem: Bridget & Margaret interchangable?
« on: Monday 06 December 10 20:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi Pam
Did you ever resolve:- " I've got a name question. In Ireland are Bridget and Margaret ever used as variants of each other"
My Greatgrandmother's name is Margaret. On the 1901 Irish census I assumed she had died and my Greatgrandfather had remarried Bridget - a nurse. My Greatgrandmother Margaret ( a nurse) is on the 1911 census at the same family address, so obviously Margaret & Bridget are the same.
Seems funny we have both come across this in Ireland?
Cheers
Mike
