Life
Bridget Condon appears in our family tree as a daughter of Patrick Condon and Mary Ryan, reportedly born on 13 April 1873. The quoted family-tree entry says only "DATE 13 APR 1873."
No matching civil birth has been proved. The 1873 civil images in this archive concern children of Thomas Condon and Bridget Green, not this family. Nothing else is currently known about Bridget.
How we know this: Very weak: the proposed birth and parentage are claims recorded here without a matching civil record. [1][2][3]

- [COMPILED] The exact birth date and parent assignment remain unproved. The Castlelyons baptism register covers the date, but the NLI image presented a challenge page and was not bypassed; no baptism negative is claimed.
