Events

Event Date Place Description Sources
Birth from 1823 to 1840 Ireland   1a 2a
Event Note

Catherine's death record says she was born about 1829
Her 1910 census says she was born about 1823
What is probably her 1870 census says she was born about 1832
Catherine's marriage record says she was born about 1838
Her 1900 Census says she was born in February 1840

I believe Catherine was considerably older than her husband John, so the reported ages are probably not always correct for either of them

Immigration from 1845 to 1847     2a 3a
Event Note

Catherine's 1910 census information said she arrived in the US in 1845.
Her 1900 census said 1847
