Bridget Vincent's origins have yet to be established. If the age given when she died is correct then she was born around 1703. Her first confirmed sighting is on 5th May 1729 when she married a carpenter called John Preston at Ewerby in Lincolnshire.

After their marriage they settled in the neighbouring village of Kirkby la Thorpe, where they had nine children baptised between 1730 and 1745. One daughter died as a baby in 1733, and one of their sons died at the age of fourteen in 1750.

Bridget died in 1753, being buried at Kirkby la Thorpe on 18th February. She was said to be 49 years old. John survived her by 24 years and went on to marry again in 1756.
