I am looking for Kate Henry born 1859 Carlisle I just cant find her on 1861 census kate married John Sewell Cockermouth 24/2/1883 her father was Thomas Henry mother Mary Ann Sewell .Mary Ann was the second wife, the first also been called Mary. no marriage any where .There is a Thomas and Mary Ann Living with children in Dam Street Carlisle in 1861 but there is no Kate all the census from 1841 gives Thomas and both wives born Ireland I would be gratefull for any help sorting this lot out
On the 1901 census there is a John Sewell aged 43 from Carlisle married to Catherine aged 40. This John is an Iron Worker in the Ship Yard and they are living in Hebburn, Durham. On the 1891 census, this Catherine is aged 29.
Also on the 1901 census, there is a John Sewell aged 47 from Carlisle married to Kate. This John is a Felt Hatter and they live in Caldewgate, Carlisle.
I would think that the former was probably Catherine Henry whose birth was registered in the second quarter of 1861 in Carlisle, which explains why she is not shown on the 1861 census.
If it is the other John and Kate to whom you are referring, then I think she was possibly a different Catherine/Kate born between 1855 and 1859 in Carlisle.
