Would like info on Bridgets death, when and where. She was born in Ireland, don't know who her parents are. She married Patrick Taheny (various spellings). They had 4 daughters, Catherine married to James O'Hara; Mary married to Daniel Kelly; Bridget married to Michael Kelly; Winifred married to William. Patrick, her husband was buried in St. Joseph's Cemetery, Hullett Township, Huron County, Ontario, Canada. She may have died soon after Winifred was born in 1852. Catherine moved to Michigan, USA but the others stayed in Huron County, Ontario.

Winifred married William Bell and is buried in same cemetery as father Patrick.
On 1901 census her birth date is given as 27 Dec 1851 but census are notorious for wrong information.
Did they live on a farm?
Bridget may be buried on it.
As they were Catholic the local church should have a record of Bridget's burial.
The cemetery is maintained by St Joseph's Catholic Church.

Thank you for the info. I will try the Church records and see what I can find. I have been to St. Joseph's Cemetery but could not find anything there but some stones have been damaged.

Visit the Cemetery Office - they should have records of all burials .
We can't rely on finding information - from Cemetery stones/ memorials - some were never placed - others damaged
