Cumberland / Re: McGrath's Whitehaven

Thank you for your replies.  Catherine McGrath is not actually related to me (I don't think).  Kate McGrath was present at the death of my 2xg-grandmother, Hannah Pattinson, at 66 Strand Street, Whitehaven in 1901.  In the Census the same year Catherine McGrath lived at that address with my grandmother then 8 years old.  Nobody else lived at the address.  Catherine is listed as a widow, occupation cook and birthplace Ireland.  I believe she was my grandmother's godmother.  I am curious as to know her connection to my family - perhaps just a longtime friend?

Oops - not Leicestershire - Lancashire!

Thanks - I have Albert Edward Pattinson in Whitehaven in 1891, living with his "mother" Hannah.  He is also in 1901 with his "sister" (but possibly his aunt, don't think she was his mother) Ellen, in Leicstershire (off the top of my head).  By 1911 he was in New Zealand.  Deans doesn't feature anywhere in our line.

Thank you for your prompt reply!  His name was Albert Edward Pattinson and I have searched everything I can think of!  Hopefully there may be something I haven't thought of.  His mother was supposedly Hannah Pattinson and his father Dan Pattinson.  However, Dan died in 1886 well before Albert was born and I have a feeling Hannah may well have been Albert's grandmother.  Possibly one of her daughters gave birth to Albert.  I cannot even find a boy birth in Carlisle for the date of Albert's supposed birth.  A mystery indeed.  Any help would be appreciated!

I have been trying to find information about Catherine (Kate) McGrath who lived in Strand Street, Whitehaven.  Any connection?

I have an uncle supposedly born in Carlisle on 22 November 1887.  However, I have been unable to trace any record of that birth under his known name or any optional names.  Can anyone give me any clues as to how I can trace his birth?  He is recorded in subsequent Census records.
