Weatherstown, Glenmore native Bridget Walsh née O’Rourke

Special thanks to Ann O’Rourke for sharing the photos of her sister Bridget Walsh née O’Rourke in her Confirmation dress made for her by Glenmore dressmaker Mairita Cummins née Hennessy (c. 1933-2023). Bridget was confirmed in 1963. In the early 1960’s Confirmations were held every three years, so Bridget was 13 and attending secondary school when her Confirmation was held. She was Confirmed in Rosbercon. In the group photo Bridget is on the right. In the photo below, the lady holding the camera is thought to have been a teacher. This photo will be added our post of 24 May 2026 regarding the Mairita Cummins née Hennessy Collection.
