1880 Philadelphia City Directory
Michael Heron at 1117 Day, a blacksmith
also Michael Heron (Jr), blacksmith, 1117 Day [note Junior did not necessarily mean they were father and son, just older/younger]
no Bernard listed, so he might have just arrived in time for the 1880 Census

1894
Michael at North Front and Otter, a horseshoer, Bernard at 3352 N 2nd, a bridge builder
no other Heron's at those addresses

1895

second thoughts about Michael's wife's maiden name, unless he married twice. I haven't found him in 1900 yet.

Bridget Heron born 23 July 1848

A death of a Bridget (Heron) McCormick, maybe your family, but there were a lot of Heron's in Philadelphia, and the image does not include her parents names, so a better id would be needed to be sure it is her. The age matches. I haven't looked for a marriage

edited to add:
Whoever this Bridget is, she hadn't been married long.  She married in 1886, but this is an index only:
