Thanks Lucinda

I have Mary Anne's Birth Certificate.  I am certain that Catherine was the Anne born in 1867 and for some reason parents changed her name to Catherine prior to her Baptism as the Birth date for Anne is that same as Catherine's. It is the only possibility I think.

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks Dathai, I have assumed that Catherine has lied about her age at some point and most likely on the marriage certificate and that she was quite young when she got married. I don't know about the Comerford family in census page as I don't know Matthew's wife's name, that is why I am trying to locate Catherine's Birth/Baptism records. I am assuming that she was Baptised in the Kingstown area.  Catherine from Kilkenny cannot be my Catherine as she was born in Dublin, the North Dublin Catherine is a possibility and I have that record but want to eliminate records from Kingstown area first.

Thanks everyone, all the information is really helpful. I have requested birth certificate for Annie Comerford to see whether that is any help. I need to get all my stuff into some sort of order because the new Comerford info has thrown me a bit but of course I should have realised to start closer to home from where he was living in 1886!

Thanks Tara, You can see how my mind works from the tangent perspective then  I will order Annie's certificate ad see what happens from there, thank you so much

Okay, the Rathdown connection is interesting in this. assuming Robert is also a son and brother to Annie it should be helpful. Rathdown has huge a connection for my family. Does Rathdown  Dun Laoghaire area too?
