Bridget1 Blaney (DanielA Blaney) was the daughter of Daniel Blaney and Margaret Kilduff and was presumably born in Ireland. She was probably born between 1812-1814 since she was not of age at the time of her marriage in 1832. [1]
Bridget married James McDonald, son of Francis McDonald and Margaret Craig in St-Basile, Madawaska Co. New Brunswick on 22 August 1832. Her parents were described as residents of Rivière-du-Loup. [2] Nothing has been found to indicate how Bridget came to meet and marry a resident of New Brunswick. James was a farmer and apparently came from Ireland to New Brunswick with his family, as his parents and siblings appear in the records of St-Basile as early as 1815. [3] James died in the 1837-38 period, since he is described as deceased in the baptismal record for his daughter Mary, born on 20 July 1838. [4]
No information has been found to date on the McDonald family after 1838.
