Essie - I think the BISA (I assume that is the Biog Index) entry is very interesting with the name "Catherine " on there .. more weight to evidence that this is the Catherine we're looking for??  Wonder where the original info came from that the daughter was named Catherine considering that the BISA was put together a long time ago. Christening records?
 Patrick was never married to Annie ....and the surname issues are common with the name (imagine irish accent, poor spelling, transcription errors). Have done a lot of research on the Cremer family and come across Patrick many times,

I might add that I gathered all my info and speculation about the origins of catherine in just 1 day .... amazing what you you can do nowadays with indexes at hand and the internet! 
I was even more delighted last night to venture on Rootschat and find her a topic !

and Cando
I followed the link back to the Bee and read through the passenger list again and could not see Ann Keely -  is she on the main group and about how far down the list?      Mary Ann Keeley is easy to spot because she is last on the list

on the ship was Catherine father Patrick CREAMER his Parents John and Esther (Etty) two brothers, John, Thomas and a widow sister Ann with her two children (CONNOR)

Special thanks to all you help.
