Thanks Heywood. Have a great day!

I forget about the time difference  . 

But this is interesting from that site you gave me.  It said  in a very small number of cases the probate might be granted many years after the person died and if you don't find a probate record within the first few years, the next most likely time to search is the year in which their heir died because it is most likely to come to light at that time.

Well the next record item after Bridget's is this:
 
O'Malley, Patrick of Roxborough, County Mayo died 24 February 1925,  Probate London 23 December to James O'Malley farmer Effects £96 5s

Maybe a coincidence? and if he was in Roxborough County Mayo any idea why the probate would be in London. or does that mean that he was born in Roxborough which would make him the wrong person I guess.

I'm still on my way to bed 

That's really interesting about the delay.

I can't find a Roxburgh, Mayo (Louisburgh??)

Neither can I find a death for a Patrick O' Malley in 1925 

The dates of grants of admin don't work out though. Patrick's granted to James the week before Bridget's was granted to him.

Bridget died in 1915   This is what it looked like ( I did not cut & paste I typed) but the second date doesn't indicate the year. 

O’MALLEY   Bridget of 78 Soho-street Liverpool widow died 23
        March 1915 at Winwick near Warrington Administration
        Liverpool 29 December to Patrick O’Malley butcher.
        Effects £26 5s 4d.

Hello again,

the probates were granted in 1925.

Patrick died February 1925 in Mayo. My point was that if he was already dead, then he couldn't be the Patrick Malley (mentioned in Bridget's probate)
Rocksborough North and South are in Ballindine Parish as you say.
There are Malleys there in 1911. (no Patrick)

I'm sorry Heywood. I am really confused. she died in 1915.  It wasn't in the index until 1925. But This Patrick died in 1925 and that may have been the trigger that brought her administration to light if indeed they were related.  This Patrick it says died in 1925...ten years later. Right?  I'm sorry  if I am being dense &  missing something. Please explain it in a little more detail,  because I don't understand.  Thanks   Anne

I don't understand it either but this is what I was thinking it meant:
1915 Bridget died but for some reason her will could not be sorted.

1925 Administration of the will was granted to Patrick on 29th December 1925

However Patrick (Mayo) died in February 1925 so he would already be deceased when administration was granted to Patrick(butcher)

you could send for Bridget's papers to see what is revealed.
