In the 1841 census (HO107/337/17 fol. 44) Hannah Bridge was still living at Rochford Common, where Golden Bridge rented a cottage and a plot of land up to his death in 1839. Her age at the 1841 census is given as 47, which fits. She is not there in the 1851 census - the place has been taken over by James Bridge, their son and my great-great-grandfather.
I have looked for her death on FreeBMD. The most likely Hannah Bridge who died between 1841 and 1851 is Dec 1849, Basford, 15,335 - the Basford registration district includes Mansfield. Otherwise possibly Mar 1851, Maldon, 12, 119 which could mean that she went back to Tillingham. In either case, perhaps she went to one of her children? But of course she could have lived beyond 1851: I have not checked for her in the 1851 census except at Rochford Common.
The children of Golding/Golden and Hannah Bridge (subject to checking the sources, not yet carried out) were: Elizabeth b.1813 Tillingham; Hannah b.1815 Tillingham; William b.1817 Tillingham; Mary b.1818 Tillingham; John b.1823 Tillingham; James b.1824 Tillingham; Robert b.1826 d.1826 Tillingham; Susannah (or Susan) b. 1828 Tillingham; and Emily b.1831 Rochford.
