Records for the corresponding Roman Catholic Parish of Roscommon and Kilteevan begin in 1837. You could search the sites suggested below for Bridget's marriage record.

There are some places where you can search online, however these websites do not have complete collections and many do not cover the period after 1900:

www.familysearch.org has a huge database of genealogical records including some church records for Ireland.

www.rootsireland.ie have a large collection of Irish Church records, however you have to pay to use this site.

http://churchrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/ have begun a project to upload Irish church records to their site free of charge. However so far only Counties Dublin, Kerry, Carlow and parts of Cork have been covered.

Some other websites that may be helpful are:

The National Archives of Ireland: http://www.nationalarchives.ie/genealogy1/genealogy-records/introduction/ - you can search the 1901/1911 Census on the National Archives page too

The National Library of Ireland: http://www.nli.ie/en/family-history-introduction.aspx

Bridget's brother John Conboy married Elizabeth Glynn in Ballyfarnon in 1867. Their first two children Charles and Michael were also baptised in Ballyfarnon. One of these three records spells the name as Kilboy but since all the other names and dates look right I think it is an error.

Hi

The only marriage record I could find was for Bridget Conboy who had a father Michael married a Michael Simon in Williamstown, Co. Galway on 23-Feb-1889. The marriage states that she was aged 40 at the time, putting her birth year at c. 1849. A couple would generally have married in the home parish of the bride so this may not be relevant.

Best wishes
