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.

Born 1834. James Walsh was married to a Mary Ann Connell,(b.1840).
