• Brighid: is being interpolated from Family Search Historical Records:

Brighit, married 1633, Wiltshire, England. Batch no. B01582-5 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:J8T6-R87)

Now, Brighit isn't Brighid, but there is a pattern of t vs. d in English names: Brigid Pye, married 1639, Hereford, England. Batch no. M14634-1

(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N268-RHC) Brigit Barkwth, died 1593, Lincolnshire, England. Batch no. B05335-3 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JHB8-DTY)

Margrid Bowbrige married 1601, Lincoln, England. Batch no. M03425-1(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NKZV-QQY) Margrit Beves married 1606, Cambride, England. Batch no. M13852-1(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NJKR-B96)

Milderet Groves, christened 1576, Gloucester, England. Batch no. C02568-1(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JW4D-HQM)
Mildered West, married 1613, Sussex, England. Batch no. M14847-1(https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NVFW-LP8)

So, Brighit -> Brighid should be OK and would keep the entire name happily English, and in the late 16th/early 17th centuries.
