Bridget Cawley Walsh, 1911 Irish Census

In the 1911 Irish Census, Bridget Cawley Walsh is living on the Walsh farm with her son James.  The farm is pictured elsewhere on this Blog. Note the name Walsh is spelled with an ending "e."

She reports she is 72 years old giving a birth date around 1839.  She also states she has given birth to nine children with only 7 currently living. It is noted that she speaks both Irish and English but given she "signed" the census sheet with her "X" she couldn't write.
