Bridget Walsh grew up two miles from the Harpers and married Patrick in February 1856 (S2). Her maiden name is confirmed by the baptism of her son Michael, where she appears as 'Bridget Walsh' (S1).
In the 1901 census she is a widow of 65, living with her unmarried daughter Mary, and she signs with a mark (S15). She was not alive at the next census; a letter remembered in the family told Michael of her death in 1902.
