Hi Jila,
The Bridget born in 1812 was born to John Keyes and Ellen Cusack. The Bridget born in 1808 was baptised in Fedamore Catholic parish, roughly 15 miles from where your Bridget got married. I rather suspect your Bridget was actually born prior to the extant parish registers in Patrickswell, or, equally likely, she was born in the around round Mungret village, as the parish records for that area, Loughmore, in Bridget's time, no longer exist. That area eventually evolved into what we know as the Mungret parish, which has records extant from 1844 onwards.
I notice in one of your files you had Bridget as the daughter of Edmund/Edward Keyes and his wife Bridget Burns. I have a couple other children for them, Edmund and Mary, born in 1803 and 1806 respectively.
To be honest, though, I truly suspect you have the parents of Bridget wrong in this case. I have always thought, in looking at the list of their children, that Bridget was the daughter of one of the John Keyes in the area, which include my gggg grandfather. I'd almost have to wonder if her parents were not people called John and Mary. Have you ever considered that? I use a naming pattern as a jumping off spot, obviously!
In looking at your run of the kids for Jeremiah and Bridget, it looks as though they were all born in Manister Catholic parish, which is straight south of where the couple married by about 8 miles, near Croom. I had always thought it likely Jeremiah was the one I'd found in that area during the Primary Valuation, so that is good to know I didn't miss the boat on that one!
I cannot post my email in this, but I think you can probably PM me now and we can exchange emaillls that way, if you like. But I still wonder, how you know Bridget died in 1844!
Cindy
