I thought that was a link - that’s how I got there.
I know it’s posted differently - not as obvious- but it serves the purpose.
Your links look very useful :)

I tried to find her in the census to check her age but couldn't find her.
There is a birth in 1875 Lower Athea father Daniel is a famer, I wonder if Daniel could have changed jobs.

And I thought Bridget looked more likely for her mother.
Than I found this family with mother Bridget O'Connor retired shopkeeper

Thank you for your response and searches! I know this is not of much use to anyone but me :-) but after all these years chasing the O'Connors with a lot of frustration and thinking I will never find them etc
I was telling my nephew today where the family was from he told me I've been there! He told me he and his son played a football tournament I think a year or so ago. What's the chance of a 3/4 great grandsons ending up in the village of your ancestor's by shear chance cheers little annie
