Hello again Maureen
FreeBMD has the following birth registration for a Bridget Gadsby (who could very well be the lady in question).
1901 Market Bosworth OND quarter 7a 78
There is also another lady of the same name registered in Rotherham in 1909 but the Leicestershire one looks the more likely based upon the marriage location. She is also a little bit closer to Horace’s age (His birth is also shown on FreeBMD).

There is a family that "jumps out" from the censuses as being very possible for Bridget to be a part of later, but only a certificate (or two) would prove or disprove it.
