Hello again,
I am sorry but your message isn’t very clear.
You have:
1842 Catherine’s birth certificate with parents Daniel Rooney and Margaret Goulding. Wigan
1849 Catherine’s emigration to US aged 9 yrs
1852 Daniel Rooney death in Liverpool Workhouse
1861 Catherine in Durham - living at the same address but different household to James Sewell
1861 Catherine’s marriage to J S
I don’t understand your reference to mother Margaret.
Is this right?
She married McManus but you haven’t got the marriage.
You haven't got Margaret in any census.
I just wonder how do you know that the death of Daniel is your ancestor? He should be in 1851 census - do you have him there?
As I wrote before, how do you know that it is the same Catherine who emigrated?
It is confusing.
