Been a while, but I've been sleuthing around and I might have found some clues

On her marriage certificate in Cork 1878, the residency for her father Timothy is Roman Street.

Now I looked through the death records and I found a Mary McCarthy who died in 11 Roman Street in 1892. She was a dressmaker and was 64 years old born c. 1827/1828

This could be Timothy's wife and Bridget's mother because I looked around and there is a marriage record in 1855 in Glenflesk Kerry to a Timothy McCarthy and Mary Horgan. The witness is listed as Denis Horgan, which is likely Mary's father because there is a Mary Horgan born in 1827 to Denis Horgan and Gobnet Reen in Glenflesk.

Now what links the Horgans to Bridget McCarthy and William Fitzpatrick in 1878 is that there is a witness to their eldest daughter Ellen's baptism in 1879 Cork, her name is Kate Horgan.

Get this, there is a baptism of a Catherine Horgan in 1845 to Denis Horgan and Gobnet Reen, this could be the witness.

Kate is more than likely Mary's sister, which makes her Ellen's great aunt.

Trouble is, I can't find a baptism for a Bridget McCarthy born to a Timothy McCarthy and a Mary Horgan, so this all could be for nothing.

Any thoughts?

Are you sure about that? civil marriage registration will list residences of bride and groom but that might not be where their families lived.
Or is the information from a church register?

In 1878 at Cork Cathedral, William Fitzpatrick, constable in the Royal Irish Constabulary married Bridget McCarthy, daughter of a Timothy McCarthy, labourer. Witnesses are Thomas Fitzpatrick and Norah McCarthy.
Her residence at the time of marriage is Roman Street, Cork.

Then that may or may not be where the father was living.

I thought so too, but he died in July and the marriage between William and Bridget happens in September. On the marriage certificate, the father isn't listed as deceased.

If this Timothy had drowned, perhaps an inquest or newspaper article might confirm or eliminate him being the father
