Biography

Bridget was born in 1858, according to both the old and new headstones from Saint Patrick's Roman Catholic Church Cemetery in Lucan, Ontario, Canada.

She died a violent death on 4 February 1880, as did her aunt and uncle and cousins of the Donnellys of Biddulph Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. Bridget's cousin William Donnelly gave her age at death as 24, rather than 21, in the death registration from 1 April 1880 in Biddulph Township, Ontario, Canada. The death records for her cousins and aunt are below hers on the same page; another is on the next page of the record book. ^[1]

Bridget is buried with her Uncle James Donnelly (1816-1880) and his family members. ^[2]
