Hmm I suppose that could be Bridget with her possible father Robert, but it says they were both born Scotland? Bridget at least is definitely from Northumberland... Earsdon is also some distance away from Newcastle where Bridget was baptised, and Tynemouth/North Shields where she is later living... but not impossible, I suppose. Then what happened to mother Elizabeth? And possible siblings?

I have found and added Bridget's burial entry at Preston Cemetery, North Shields and have added to Find A Grave.  If you are also on there and would like this memorial transferred to you let me know.

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/237613855/bridget-nelson?createdMemorial=Yes

Entry 981
Bridget Nelson
Female
Age 78
Widow
Death occurred: Workhouse
Burial 7 March 1905
Ceremony performed by: Father (Haggarty/Haggerty?)
Unconsecrated plot 422

If you contact the North Tyneside Burial services with this info I think they would be likely to know the section the plot is in.  I suspect it will be section J Roman Catholic.
