1. Bridget
Eustace,
2Q 43
Naas 2 713
Bridget Eustace (formerly
Bealin), married, about 43 years old, wife of a farmer,
Ballyfolan, Blessington District, County Wicklow died 29 March
1887 from puerperal fever, (thirteen days), certified (13/3/87).
Her husband John (his X mark) Eustace was present at the death
which occurred at Ballyfolan, Manor Kilbride. The death was
recorded 13 April, 1887, K. Reilly, Registrar. Bridget Eustace
formerly Bealin was born about 1844.
Note: Bridget Bealin, age 21,
daughter of Peter Bealin, farmer of Kilbride, County Wicklow
married John Eustace, age 21, son of James Eustace, farmer of
Ballyfolan, County Wicklow on November 13, 1877 at Manor
Kilbride Chapel.
There is a discrepancy in the records regarding Bridget’s age.
The marriage record of 1877 indicates she was 21 years old which
would make her born about 1856 while the death record in 1887
gives her age as 43 which would make her born in 1844.
Notes from
Sean Eustace: John Eustace was Sean Eustace's grandfather. From
his marriage to Bridget Bealin they had two children; Michael
and Mary. Mary Eustace, daughter of John Eustace and Bridget
Bealin was born 10 December 1878 and baptized 11 December at
Blessington. Michael Eustace, son of John Eustace of Ballyfolan
and Bridget Eustace (Bealin) was born 17 December 1883 at
Kilbride and baptized the same day. The baptism is recorded at
Blessington. Neither of Mary or Michael married. Michael died
during the big snow storm of February 14, 1947 and is buried in
Manor Kilbride. His stepmother Ellen my grandmother died at the
same time. One of the deaths was on 14 February 1947. His sister
Mary lived into her 90's and as far as I recall she died in the
1960's - I remember her well, most days coming from national
school I dropped in and was treated royally.
John, Sean's grandfather
re-married this time to Ellen Walsh of Scurloxleap, Manor
Kilbride. John's sister married Ellen's brother so the offspring
were double first cousins to Sean's father's family.
Puerperal fever was a
devastating disease. It affected women within the first three
days after childbirth and progressed rapidly, causing acute
symptoms of severe abdominal pain, fever and debility. Although
it had been recognized from as early as the time of the
Hippocratic corpus that women in childbed were prone to fevers,
the distinct name, “puerperal fever” appears in the historical
record only in the early eighteenth century.
