Family lore says that Kate's maiden name was Feeley. Another source says she was born in Bradford, YKS, not Darlington, DUR

Hi Margot
Just something else to add to the discussion...
1871 shows 9 Feeleys born in Bradford, but no Kate or Catherine.
1881 shows only 8 Feeleys as born in Bradford, only one of which is a Catherine - born 1856 (making her 25 in 1881), unmarried and occupation Worsted Spinner - she is a prisoner in Lancashire.
10 Feeleys in 1891 but no Kate.
1871 shows 21 Fletchers born Darlington, but no Kate or Catherine.
1881 shows 28 Fletchers born Darlington, but again, no Kate or Catherine.
1891 shows 30, only one Kate or Catherine (the one found in Middlesborough).
I too have looked at the 1891 image and Casalguidi and Heather are right, it is definitely FLETCHER.
Cheers
Paul
