Biography

We first see mention of Bridget Girachty in a christening record in January of 1757 in Gainestown, (near Mullingar) Co. Westmeath, Ireland, where she is listed as the daughter of James Girachty (possibly a misspelling/ variation of Geraghty? as there are other families named Geraghty in the area, but this is the only place I've seen the name spelled Girachty so far) and Judith Kenny.

Other children of James Geraghty and Judith Kenny:

1. Catherine Geraghty - christened May 1755^[1]
2. Bridget Geraghty - christened January 1757^[2]
3. Daniel Geraghty - christened June 1759 at Gainestown, Co. Westmeath, Ireland^[3]
4. Honour Geraghty - christened March 1762 at Gainestown, Co. Westmeath, Ireland^[4]
5. Thomas Geraghty - christened Dec 1764^[5]
6. James Geraghty - christened Aug 1767^[6]
