I'm looking for the birthplace of an Ellen Bolger but Bolger was her married name I don't know her maiden name as well as her husband Edward.  Edward was from County Wicklow and they had children John (born about 1827), Richard (born about 1830), Mary (also born about 1830) and maybe Eliza (born in US ? about 1847) there could have been others and they left Ireland for NY in I think 1837.  Trying to find other Bolger family and what part of Wicklow they were from??  Mary Bolger married Patrick Duffy in NY I believe they are my great great grandparents.  Thanks anyone for any help. Best of luck on your searches.

I have just been working on my gggGrandmother.  Her name was Bridget Bolger, born 24 June 1831 in Kilkenny, Ireland. I'm afraid I don't have her parents names.  However, I just found out yesterday that she and her husband John Burke were married in St. Canice's Catholic Church in Kilkenny.  This information was in their parish records.  You might start there to see if you can locate Ellen's baptismal record.  Considering the proximity in birth dates of your Ellen and my Bridget, I wonder if they were sisters.
