Hi Jenny
I have a mound of information about our Tubberdy's after they left Ireland in the 1840/50's, probably as a result of the potato famine. They originate in Tipperary and district and some years ago we visited Ireland and spent some time researching the family and found the piece of land that the family had farmed up until the 1911 Census and possibly beyond - very surreal experience! I have come across Bridget, Ellen and Mary Ann but have never been able to make a direct connection. As the name is pretty unusual my guess is that they are related but there seems to be no written evidence to link them. The Irish Catholic church is slowly releasing more data so perhaps something will come out of that in the future. I will go back to my research papers from that time and see if I can find anything that I might have missed previously.
