Bridget (Dwyer) Hogan was an Assisted Immigrant to New South Wales.
Bridget Dwyer was born sometime between 1822 and 1825 in County Tipperary, Éire, daughter of William Dwyer and Mary Shunny.[1].[2]
Bridget arrived in the Colony of New South Wales as a bounty immigrant on December 20, 1839 aboard the 'China' with her parents and twin sister Mary Anne.[3] Her occupation was recorded as nursemaid.
Bridget married Patrick Corcoran in 1843 in Burrowa, Colony of New South Wales.[4]
This was a very short marriage as Michael passed away the following month.[6]
Bridget passed away on May 23, 1900 in Young, Colony of New South Wales from senility and heart disease (duration of last illness, one day). She was buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery in Young on May 25.[1]
