Catherine McKenna/Finnigan b 1848 Ireland

[Pughy]

HI All
I have just received a Death Certificate for James Mckenna who died in 1883 Newcastle on Tyne
The informant on his Death Certificate is a Catherine Finnigan who I am thinking is his Daughter Catherine who appears on the 1851 Census age 2 & the 1861 age 13yrs.
On the Death Certificate Catherine gives her place of residence in 1883 as 8 Monk Street Newcastle.
I have searched for a Marriage for Catherine McKenna with a Finnigan without any luck also I cannot find her on any of the Census after 1861 either as McKenna or Finnigan
       Catherine McKenna born abt 1848 Ireland
Any help would be very much appreciated.
           Regards
                     Pughy

HI KGarrad
Sorry but this is the wrong family James McKennas wife was Margaret & Catherine was 17yrs old on the 1861 Census which would make her abt 27yrs in 1871, but thank you for trying
     Regards

So that I can tune into the right family can you tell me the name of James wife and where were they in 1851 and 1861?

Thanks

Hi

if she was born 1848 - she would be abt 13 yrs in 1861 not 17 yrs 

Is she at RG9  3814 / 38 / 69

Catherine 13 yrs with parents James and Margaret with siblings?

Your best bet is the baptism of John McKenna whose birth may not have been registered. You will also normally get two named baptismal sponsors who were often relations.

From what I recall, John was born in Ireland.

I thought that the death certificate may have given Catherine Finnegan as daughter.
Presumably, at the moment,you are not certain that it is her?
