From another researcher:
- “With Geelong Eastern Cemetery having 2 Bridget Cecilia Richardsons, it can be hard to know who is who, if you don't know the dates or have much information to start with. According to the cemetery this is the correct Bridget Cecilia, not the Bridget Cecelia!
Bridget Cecilia Richardson nee Leahy
