Thomas BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) [Parents] married Catherine MAXWELL.

We know of Thomas's existence from the baptismal records of his children. While most of his children were baptised in the parish of Mohill, the child whom we believe to have been the eldest was baptised in the parish of Kiltoghert where our Bertridges lived. Given the Kiltoghert connection I'm making the assumption that Thomas was a son of our William Bertridge.

Catherine MAXWELL married Thomas BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified).

Given the gap between the births of their children listed below, Thomas and Catherine may well have had more children.

They had the following children:

  F i
Mary BERTRIDGE was born about 27 Jul 1835 in prob Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and was christened 27 Jul 1835 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Sponsors at Mary's baptism were William Butler and Anne Gaffey.
  M ii
John BERTRIDGE was born about 14 Jun 1840 in prob Mohill, Co. Leitrim and was christened 14 Jun 1840 in Mohill, Co. Leitrim.

Another John was born to Thomas and Catherine five years later, in 1846, indicating that this John died as a child.
  F iii
Margaret BERTRIDGE was born about 15 May 1845 in prob Mohill, Co. Leitrim and was christened 15 May 1845 in Mohill, Co. Leitrim.
  M iv
John BERTRIDGE was born about 1 Sep 1846 in prob Mohill, Co. Leitrim and was christened 1 Sep 1846 in Mohill, Co. Leitrim.

Another John had been born to Thomas and Catherine in 1840, but the birth of this John indicates that the first John had died.

William BERTRIDGE [Parents] was born about 1813 in poss. Cloonfeacle, Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon. He married Bridget/Catherine/Anne MACDERMOTT (Caution: not verified).

Please see the notes for William's older brother Robert for information on William's involvement in an abduction in 1836.

Bridget/Catherine/Anne MACDERMOTT (Caution: not verified) married William BERTRIDGE.

We know of five children (see list below) who were born to a William Bertridge (or Bertige) and a Bridget (or Catherine or Anne) MacDermott and baptised in Kiltoghert between 1838 and 1845. Given the Kiltoghert connection it's likely that it was our William above who married Miss MacDermott and had the children who are listed below, but it's no proof, hence the cautions.

They had the following children:

  F i
Catherine BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) was born about 23 Jan 1838 in prob Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and was christened 23 Jan 1838 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Catherine's last name on her baptismal record is Bertige, which is probably synonymous with Bertridge. The baptismal record also shows Catherine's mother's first name to be Catherine (it appears as Bridget or Anne on the baptismal records of her siblings).

Sponsors at Catherine's baptism were William Bertridge and Siscily (sic) Brady.
  F ii
Mary BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) was born about 4 Sep 1839 in prob Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and was christened 4 Sep 1839 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Mary's last name on her baptismal record is Bertige, which is probably synonymous with Bertridge. The baptismal record also shows Mary's mother's first name to be Bridget (it appears as Catherine or Anne on the baptismal records of some of her siblings).

It was difficult to decipher the names of the sponsors on Mary's baptismal record but they appear to be Michael Bertridge and Catherine McDermott.

Another Mary was born to William and Bridget (or Anne or Catherine) six years later, in 1845, indicating that this Mary died as a child.
  F iii
John BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) was born about 21 Sep 1841 in prob Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and was christened 21 Sep 1841 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

John's baptismal record shows Catherine's mother's first name to be Anne (it appears as Bridget or Catherine on the baptismal records of her siblings).

Sponsors at John's baptism were William Bertridge and Susan Bertridge.
  M iv
Robert BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) was born about 16 Jul 1843 in prob Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and was christened 16 Jul 1843 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Robert's last name on her baptismal record is Bertredge, which is probably synonymous with Bertridge. The baptismal record also shows Robert's mother's first name to be Bridget (it appears as Catherine or Anne on the baptismal records of some of his siblings).

Sponsors at Robert's baptism were William Bertridge and Cisly (sic) McDermott.
  F v
Mary BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) was born about 31 Dec 1845 in prob Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim and was christened 31 Dec 1845 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Mary's last name on her baptismal record is Bertidge, which is probably synonymous with Bertridge. The baptismal record also shows Mary's mother's first name to be Bridget (it appears as Catherine or Anne on the baptismal records of some of her siblings).

Sponsors at Mary's baptism were John Morahan and Mary Bertridge.

Another Mary was born to William and Bridget (or Anne or Catherine) in 1839, but the birth of Mary above indicates that the first Mary had died.

Patrick BERTRIDGE died after 9 May 1882.

I haven't been able to connect Patrick to our Bertridge family but I believe it's likely he's related.

There's an entry in Griffith's Valuation for a Patrick Betridge (sic) who occupied land in the townland of Fearnaght in Annaduff, Co. Leitrim in the mid-1850s, but given that Patrick above was a labourer (according to the marriage record of his daughter Bridget) it's unlikely that Patrick above was the same Patrick as the Patrick in Griffith's. The Patrick in Griffith's may well be the Patrick Betridge who married Ellen Stanford in Mohill, Co. Leitrim on 24 November 1851.

He had the following children:

  F i Bridget BERTRIDGE was born about 1858.

Andrew MCDONNELL [Parents] was born about 1857 in poss Aghintass, Annaduff, Co. Leitrim. He married Bridget BERTRIDGE on 9 May 1882 in Drumsna, Co. Leitrim.

Bridget BERTRIDGE [Parents] was born about 1858 in poss Finnalaghta, Annaduff, Co. Leitrim. She married Andrew MCDONNELL on 9 May 1882 in Drumsna, Co. Leitrim.

According to her marriage record, which gives her surname as Beterige, Bridget was from the townland of Finnalaghta in the parish of Annaduff. The Leitrim Genealogy Centre has records of three burials for Bertridges/Betridges from the same townland.

Bridget Betridge (sic), of Finnalaghta, Annaduff, died 5 January 1851, buried Annaduff
Bridget Betridge (sic) of Finnalaghta, Annaduff, died 13 June 1873, buried Annaduff  
Eleanor Bertridge of Finnalaghta, Annaduff, died 19 December 1880, buried Annaduff

These are almost certainly connected to Bridget above.

Marriage Notes:

Witnesses were William Crowley and Mary Mulvey.


Andrew MCDONNELL died before 9 May 1882.

According to the marriage record of his son, also named Andrew, Andrew above was a farmer.

He had the following children:

  M i Andrew MCDONNELL was born about 1857.

Matthew GARVEY / GARVY married Catherine BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) on 22 Apr 1838 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Catherine BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) [Parents] married Matthew GARVEY / GARVY on 22 Apr 1838 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

On her marriage record Catherine's surname is Bertrige, which is presumably synonymous with Bertridge. We have absolutely no proof the Catherine was a daughter of our William Bertridge (hence the caution) but given the rarity of the surname and the fact that the marriage took place in Kiltoghert, it's a possibility.

Marriage Notes:

Witnesses to the marriage of Catherine and Matthew were William Down and Margaret Lenahan.


Patrick FALLEN / FALLON married Bridget BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) on 17 Feb 1845 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

Bridget BERTRIDGE (Caution: not verified) [Parents] married Patrick FALLEN / FALLON on 17 Feb 1845 in Kiltoghert, Carrick-on-Shannon, Co. Leitrim.

On her marriage record Bridget's surname is Betridge, which is presumably synonymous with Bertridge. We have absolutely no proof the Bridget was a daughter of our William Bertridge (hence the caution) but given the rarity of the surname and the fact that the marriage took place in Kiltoghert, it's a possibility.
