Biological mother of Bridget Boland Cleary, who is buried beside her, and who was put through a horrible ordeal in the final days of her life, by family, and friends, who believed her body had been taken possession of by fairies.
Bridget Keating married Patrick Boland in October of 1856. Both were from South Tipperary. She died at Ballyvadlea, Fethard Parish, County Tipperary, Ireland; which is a location too small to show in the findagrave placename database. She is buried outside the wall of the cemetery, which is "consecrated ground" to the Roman Catholic Church, apparently because of her beliefs in fairies and the old pagan traditions of the indigenous Irish People. Her grave is unmarked, but rumor has it that even these 125 years later, the local people know right where she and her daughter are buried.
