I have yet to confirm this, but I've been told Briget died one year after her son, Patrick, tragically died. So around 1915/16. Estimated age being 43.
Other clues... family members say that Bridget Walsh had three sisters called, Annie, Maggie, and Kate. Also two brothers Jack. Second brother's name unknown.
Although it has yet to be confirmed I believe James Walsh was married to a Mary Ann Connell. Their daughter Bridget's birth record is needed for this purpose.
Possible children for James below. Confirmed by the same records found on the LDS site, giving the same mother (Mary Ann Connell) for all of them. Clane and Rathcoffey are the same parish.
