According to the Irish Press report on her murder she was from Co. Cork, not necessarily correct of course.

Husband called Michael here? and from Donegal?
Belfast Telegraph, 23 June 1966: Murdered woman was native of Donegal. Detectives at Nottingham investigating the murder of 41-year-old Mrs. Bridget Anderson have succeeded in tracing her husband. He is Mr. Michael Anderson, who now lives at Doncaster. Mr. Anderson has told the police his wife came from Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. They were married in 1948, but separated three years later ...

The Nottingham Evening Post on 20 October 1966 describes her as a prostitute.

“Mr Justice Hinchcliffe told the jury they could bring in a verdict of manslaughter on the ground of diminished responsibility if they found Albert Buxton guilty of murdering Nottingham prostitue Bridget Anderson”

Nottingham Evening Post, 21 October 1966

“He is said to have killed her while engaging in a “pillow love game” with her”

Just thought I’d point these out but they might not necessarily be true. It is as if they might be reporting on rumours or something. On October 20 the Nottingham Post says Albert Buxton is 49 and then on the 21st he is said to be 29.

It also says she lived in Albert Grove, Nottingham
