this is what has stumped me!!!! i cannot find him anywhere

What about this one

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1901/Down/Waringstown/Corcreany/1244358/

Most of the Bridgetts/Bridget/Uprichards I know of came from the Drumgask area and this townland is only a stones throw away.

James was married with a one year old son by 1901.  The James Bridgett above is unmarried

James was b 1877 Armagh

Assuming that the info on the census is correct you are quite right although when I am faced with a brick wall I chase up any leads even though many do prove to be red herrings .


Other Bridget researchers I have met who have been researching the monbrief/drumgask connection said that they found the surnames Bridget(t) and Uprichard/Pritchard to be interchangeable.

Very interesting, aljepekam about some families using both Bridget(t) and Uprichard/Pritchard. Wonder if it explains why I've still been unable to find the marriage of James and Elizabeth c1899?

jigguy29- what's your source for Elizabeth's maiden name being Uprichard?

Would an obituary help? I think James and most of the family is buried at the cemetery at New Line Road.
James Uprichard died June 13, 1954
Elizabeth died 22nd March, 1955
William died 29th July, 1959
Harry died 4th March, 1976

That leaves Robert's grave unaccounted for.  There are a few Roberts about with middle names which might suggest parents for James or Elizabeth.

Someone else filled out the census form as neither James nor Elizabeth could write. This makes the census data a bit suspect.

Aghadowey, I was wondering if her maiden name was Uprichard!! its funny that there is no trace of them in the 1901 census! I know that James and Elizabeth went on to have 2 more children a girl called sarah around 1912 and mary or may born on 24/12/1914

Kat C??  how did you find that information? what site?

[aghadowey]

Your orginal post said "It appears that James Bridget who married elizabeth uprichard in 1899," and now you've said "I was wondering if her maiden name was Uprichard!!"

Does this mean you don't know what her maiden name actually was and that we've been searching for a marriage between a James Bridget and Elizabeth Uprichard for nothing?

Births certificate for any of the children should list mother's maiden name.
