Sorry, just re-read the last reply from me and it sounds a bit thick, ....
Our family spelling is Roach, but where i got the info from, Rhode Island death listings , it was spelled as Roche.
The Family plot is in Preston Cemetary and the headstone has James his wife , sister and 6 family names, Bridget is included, but i don't know if she is actually buried there or just named.

She is listed on her Father James' headstone, saying she died in USA,, it was listed under ROCHE, ( sorry forgot about that bit ) Father James Roche, Mother Mary Gill,= died 14th August 1903 Rhode Island.

How do you know she's the same one that died in Rhode Island in 1903? I can't find any immigration record for her and there were many Bridget Roaches living in USA.

When was she born? There are 2 in Preston in 1901, one born 1849 Ireland, the other 1872 Ireland.
Sorry, just read the title, 1872 it is!
