What we still don't know
- Which combination of Bridget, Johanna, and Delia appears in original records?
- Can a birth record confirm her date and parents?
- Did she marry and die under another surname?
- Search births for Bridget, Johanna, Delia, and unnamed female McGuire; search marriages under each forename and deaths by parents.
- Dates come from the family's Find a Grave memorials rather than the Queensland register; the registration would confirm them.
- Her husband's given name. The memorial records only the surname Wyatt.
- [MERGED 7 August 2026] This person had been entered twice — as `bridget-johanna-delia-mcguire-1899` and as `bridget-johanna-mcguire-wyatt-1899` — when the Queensland families were built out from Find a Grave without first checking the names already in the archive. The two records are one person and are now joined; the old address redirects.
