  The following Bridget is described in BP1934 (Dillon) as "dau. of Peter de Bermingham, Lord of Athenry, and sister of John Bermingham, 1st Earl of Louth" but those descriptions are not compatible with each other. We provisionally show her as the second of these because this way she has a father Peter (Piers) and brother John.
