I'm sorry I don't know about obtaining an Irish will.
There certainly does seem to be some connection England. Assuming the ages on the death certificates are accurate, there does seem to be quite an age difference between Eliza and James Richard PARKINSON. I wonder if she had been previously married? I'm assuming most people think her maiden name was MADDER as this is her child's middle name - it may not be though. Shame we can't find a record of their marriage - either a certificate or a newspaper announcement. Will have another look.

Just re-reading your original post, I see that you have a note that the quilt may have been by Eliza's mother Catherine MADDER - does the note actually show this name?
