Hello Lynn,
When you can’t find a Baptism i.e. Margaret Jane BRIDSON.
Another way to prove the family connection – is by Wills.
The Wills, of her Parents and Grandparents.
The Will of William Bridson should name his Daughter.
The Will of Elizabeth Bridson als Quirk – is too early – before Margaret Jane was born.
The Will of John Bridson may name his Grand daughter.
The Will of Samuel RADCLIFFE – may name his Grand daughter.
If ordering by Film, the film numbers for these Wills can be found on Brian Lawsons Will Index.

Malew Burial Register
Eleanor Bridson 70 buried 17 Mar 1863 residence Silverburn
William Bridson 84 buried 23 Jan 1868 residence Malew St
*********
I thought that "Silverburn" was significant in light of the birthplace Margaret Jane Kennaugh gave in 1901. I also thought that the Malew Street address for William Bridson fitted with the notion that the widower would likely have moved down the hill to Castletown to be looked after by his daughter.

I wonder whether the fragments lying within the surround of the grave were from a completely different plot and will prove to be just a red herring ?
