Biography
I found Bridget because my aunt Mary (Duffy) McBrearty emigrated with her cousin Mary Josephine Reilly (Bridget's daughter) from Ireland to Brooklyn NY. Mary Duffy is entry #18 on the record and Mary Reilly is entry #11. Mary Reilly's father and home address is Ireland is given (as well as the same destination address as Mary Duffy confirming it's the correct Mary Reilly.) The record is the S.S. Albertic from Belfast, arriving into NY Sep. 24 1929.
From that record Mary J's birth record and her parents marriage and Bridget's birth record were easy to find.
The two cousins were best friends such that they are now buried together in NY - https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/169151623/mary-j-reilly
