I am looking for Catherine Mackay born around 1839. She died in Dundee in Scotland in 1840.
Her father was Patrick. He was a linen wea ver.

What information exactly are you looking for? If she died 1840 she was only a baby so there won't be much to find sadly.

What religion was your Catherine Mackay?
How do you know that she was born around 1839?
The civil parishes of Dromore and Magherally adjoin one another and have a total area of over 40 square miles.

Thanks Milliepede and Kiltaglassan.
I'm just wondering if there could be any information out there. She was definitely born in Ireland and I have some idea her family was from the above areas in County Down.
She was RC. I know she was was born around 1839 because her death certificate
shows her age as 40. She died in 1880.
She was my gt grandmother.
