Hi Eberg,

'Nort de Honden' sounds a bit suspect

It sounds a bit like North London,other than that I'm stumped

Just a thought,Mick

I would also guess North Something.

Not quite clear from your text if Catherine was also born in the USA or in the U.K. 
If UK, then Lancashire would be my first place to search.

A Lancashire Gazette, from GENUKI: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/Gazetteer/NO.htm

gives these possibilities, if the NOR is right:

NORBRECK, 1/2 mile N.W. of Bispham
Norbrick, 2 miles N.N.W. of Cockerham church
NORCROSS, 11/2 mile N.E. of Bispham
Norris Green, 1/2 mile N.W. of West Derby chapel
Norris Hill, Heaton Norris, 6 miles S.S.E. of Manchester
North End, a hamlet on the island of Walney
North End, 2 miles S.S.E. of Formby
North End Haws, the northern extremity of the island of Walney
North Hall, 1 mile N.N.E. of Standish
NORTH MEOLS, 8 miles N.W. of Ormskirk, a parish in the deanry of Warrington, is situated on the sea coast, near the mouth of the Ribble, and has of late years been much frequented as a bathing place. The church is a rectory; patron the Rev. J. Baldwin
North Meols Hall, North Meols
North Moor, near Oldham
Northern Ford, a Ford over the Mersey, 1/2 mile W. of Didsbury
Northscale, a small village in the island of Walney

Anybody know if any of these is near St. Helens  ??

Would it be "North London"

Hi Eberg

Could we have the census ref. or some more details ie. ages so that we can find the correct page and have a look?

Thanks
