Yeah that makes sense to me. I'm not expecting perfect spelling.

I'm more hung up on the Cuignalegan/Qualegan for Ellen vs Cuignalecca/Qualecca for their marriage and Pat's baptism.

Thank you.

Cuignalegan isn't too far from Cuignalecca either.

What's odd is the 1833 marriage record lists Qualecca and Pat's 1835 baptism record lists Qualecca.

However, Ellen's 1834 baptism record lists Qualegan. Maybe a mistake, or maybe they moved? Or maybe (less likely IMO) it's a different couple

Thanks.

If it helps, I found a sibling's record too:

Pat O'Hara, right side about midway, 8 April 1835 birth, 12 april baptism

Looks like Tualecca or Qualecca, perhaps?

Think it's also listed on the parents marriage record: https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634631#page/169/mode/1up (lower left)

I need help transcribing the residence/townland for Ellen O'Hara.

Born 1 June 1834, baptized 8 June 1834. Roughly midway on the left right. Parents James O'Hara and Kitty Melvin

I wasn't able to pull the revision books in the Family History Center today - only on film in Salt Lake.

I'm also not so sure that 1901 ship arrival is the right Bridget. She was traveling with a daughter Bridget (b 1878) and was released from detention to a daughter Rose (b May 1877). The daughter names do not line up remotely with her known daughters (Mary Anne b 1873, Ellen b 1874, Catherine b 1880)

I found a widowed Bridget McGuire in the 1910 Census at the same address (but different household) in Manhattan as her son James. She is living with two boarders. Interesting enough, she listed she had 8 children, 6 living. I know she had 8 children in Ireland, with one dying before 1910. Her age doesn't quite line up, but it's a census record...

The other line of attack would be to try and find family graves in Ireland, and see if there is a memorial mentioning her. Could take a look on FindAGrave, etc, or visit local graveyards in person (many not transcribed).
I actually did visit the graveyard last year and posted a dozens of photos to FindAGrave. Many of the older tombstones were covered in lichen and unreadable. There weren't many Donohoes - while I found other relatives, I only found 3 Donohoes.

I did find that May 1901 ship arrival record for a Bridget McGuire, widow, age 52, from Cavan. Unfortunately it doesn't list a more specific area. Co Cavan is small enough that I could probably attempt to rule out all other Bridget Maguire/McGuires of that age range, but it will be very tedious... I also don't know who that 23 year old Bridget Maguire would be.

I'm seeing the reel icon - see attachment. Unfortunately, in my experience, that means the Family History Library in Salt Lake city only. When there's triangle ! icon (see other attachment), that means it can be viewed in the Family search center.

That said, my local family search center is closed all of August, and normally only open Wednesday afternoons. I'll try to make it in next time it's open.

In the meantime, are there any other ideas on how to track down Bridget?

Looks like they are only on microfilm now - not online.

Utah is very far away from me, but an order of magnitude closer than Dublin.

Perhaps one day

Wait, I think I found them. These are the books you are talking about? https://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/revision-books.html

If so: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/141209 page 2, but in the Family History library in Utah only.
