Bridget was born in Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland in 1819. Bridget and James returned to Ireland for the birth of their first son Hugh. Copied below is from Jonathon Binns, "Miseries and Beauties of Ireland" 1837. Gives us a view of Castlebar near the time of their return to Ireland from Liverpool.
Castlebar, Co. Mayo (1837) -- "It was market day at Castlebar when I arrived there, and I strolled for a couple of hours among the market people. Great numbers of women, holding a hank or two of yarn of their own spinning, stood in the streets and offered their trifling commodities for sale. Very few of those whom I addressed could speak English; but some of the men about, seeing the disadvantages under which I laboured, very obligingly stepped forward, and offered assistance as interpreters. This sort of politenes is common to the Irish. I ascertained that the women could not earn by spinning more than a penny or twopence a day, and hundreds of them attended the market whose earnings for the whole week did not exceed sixpence or ninepence; yet nothwithstanding this inadequate reward of long and hard labour, their honest countenances wore the habitual impress of cheerfulness and perfect good humour. Scarcely any of the women had shoes, and I felt considerable alarm while threading my way through a dense crowd, lest I should step upon their feet." -- Jonathan Binns, "Miseries and Beauties of Ireland," 1837
