Death

Harriet Bridger may have died in Jan-Mar 1894 in Petersfield (Volume 2c Page 99), Hampshire.  Her age is given as 69, although she would have been about 73 years of age.

Another Harriet Bridger died at age 76 in Petersfield in Jul-Sep 1894 (Vol 2c Page 76).  This age is a little too old.

Dragon Street, Petersfield.

Harriett and her daughter Mary Anne are still at home with Harriett's parents.  Harriett marries James Bridger later the same year in October.  At first I thought that Thomas Scrivens may be Mary Anne's natural father, but since Thomas was a witness at Harriett and James's wedding, this is probably unlikely.  James Bridger could be the natural father.
