I tried to find her in the census to check her age but couldn't find her.
There is a birth in 1875 Lower Athea father Daniel is a famer, I wonder if Daniel could have changed jobs.

Not sure about that Ellen birth and was looking at the names she gave her children

And I thought Bridget looked more likely for her mother.
Than I found this family with mother Bridget O'Connor retired shopkeeper

Thank you for your response and searches!  I know this is not of much use to anyone but me :-)  but after all these years chasing the O'Connors with a lot of frustration and thinking I will never find them etc
 I was telling my nephew  today where the family was from he told me I've been there!  He told me he and his son played a football tournament I think a year or so ago. What's the chance of a 3/4 great grandsons ending up in the village of your ancestor's by shear chance cheers little annie
