A link to the record is easier to read.

Was the Catherine in the workhouse born in Westmeath?

I haven't found where Catherine was born yet,D.O.B approx 1880, Nor here father Patrick his D.O.B 1820, seems sometime they are recorded as Leonard other times Lennon???
 Patrick James my G.G.father was born in Glenties Donegal his D.O.B 1881,
there was also a sister Mary who lived in Ramelton Donegal her details i have not got as yet, she was married or a partner to a John Mc Keown.
 the family traveled around a lot,
It would appear that given Patrick James & Catherine's age and their father
 age in 1889 the father was 69 a widower, Catherine 9 and Patrick James 8 would lead me to believe he may have married twice?
there is a definite connection to Jordan's of west meath, who were musicians one Jordan connection is also in Banbridge, Co Down and they visited family in Ramelton regularly, ???
