For reference here's a link to your earlier thread with more details-
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,193037.msg4271903.html#msg4271903

You've found Catherine in 1901 census but what's given as her birthplace?
Is the same place given as birthplace in 1911 census?

So I take it you are searching for her birth certificate?  :-\

Did you find her on the 1901 Irish census or Scottish census?

Does it give a place of birth?

Have you found her on the 1911 census? Where does she say she was born?

Was she the first born child? If so, have you checked for her registered under her mother's maiden surname in case she was illegitimate?

Have you checked for variations/misspellings of the surname?

(sorry aghadowey - a couple of 'double up' questions.  ;))

anne theresa didn't answer our queries but I found the family on 1901 Scottish census living in Glasgow and Cathrine Finnerty age 3 given as born Glasgow, Lanarkshire with 5 older siblings.

Will move this topic to Lanarkshire board where it belongs.

Her birth entry is there on Scotlands People so you can buy credits to view the certificate:

Catherine Finerty    1898     reg'd Calton (Glasgow)    Lanarkshire

Annette
Scopes (One-Name Study - Worldwide)
Suffolk - Grist, Knights, Bullenthorpe, Watcham
Scotland - Spence, Horne, Cowan, Moffat
London -  Monk
