John, you did indeed crack it. I just received the birth certificate for Catherine Morrell, who you suspected was actually Catherine Daley, nee Collins, my g-grandmother, whose death triggered this thread.
The birth is in 1883. The father was Richard Morrell (cartman) - Richard Collins was also a cartman. The family lived at 39 St Nicholas' Churchyard, and when I checked the 1881 census for my Collins family, they were indeed at the same address. I think that's proof enough. Thanks again.
