There were many Conroys, many Bridgets and many Delia's in Bridget's era.

with no results. There was a Patrick Conroy married to Ellen
McDonough Conroy who lived in St. Paul MN the same time as
Bridget. They immigrated from Ireland and it appears they
may have had a daughter named Bridget Conroy. They had many children.
Not known if they are related and no further documentation found.
They had a son Patrick Conroy.
Ellen McDonough Conroy- abt 1835 - ?
Patrick Sr. Conroy 1831-1893.
Patrick Conroy Jr. 1855 -1944.
Patrick has a Findagrave Memorial
and he is buried at Calvary Cemetery in St. Paul MN.

to St.Mary's Cemetery in Mpls MN.
It could be a different Conroy Family.
They may have been from Galway Ireland.

Delia Agnes Conroy. John's Birth records Site Delia or Bridget being born in
