Our
Bridget Malley above
may be the same as:
- Bridget Lavelle, farmer, widow, illiterate,
listed
in 1901 census
in Slievemore, NE of Dooagh
(see map).
Age 70, so born 1831, so rather old (age 48) at child's birth 1879 (if it is her).
-
Bridget Lavelle, farmer, widow, illiterate,
listed
in 1911 census in Slievemore.
Age 78, so born 1833, so age 46 at child's birth 1879.
- Bridget Lavelle, farmer's widow,
died at Dooagh in
1920.
Registered by Michael Lavelle, son.
Age 86, so born 1834, so age 45 at child's birth 1879.
- This looks like her, but perhaps more proof needed.
Lavelle is not a rare name in Achill Island.
Also, as we say, she is a bit old.
