1881 we have;
William Yates, 40, Pork Butcher
Catherine Yates, 32
Mary Ellen Yates, 13
GEORGE Yates, 9
John Yates, 3
Catherine BARLOW, 59, Mother in Law, Widow, Hawker, born Kilkenny County, Ireland
William Barlow, 24, Brother in Law, French Polisher, born Manchester

Looks like Catherines Mother has remarried and then been Widowed again.
Although I am having trouble finding them in earlier Census under Barlow.

So Catherine was a mcdonnell/Donald and my ggp  ? and her mother was Catherine Barlow and Williams mother in law but she had married before .
So is Catherine Barlow my gggp ?
And if so who was her husband ..my gggp  ?
Sounds cheeky asking this but trying to collate all your amazing information

Do you know when your grandfather died and where?   There is a death registration in Walsall - 1977 - which gives a birth date of 16 October 1901. 

That one is married to a Gertrude E Yates in 1939 so I don't think thats him

William McDonald, 30, Head, Mar, Smith Striker*, born London, Middlesex

Catherine Snrs pob is out but Occp for William matches Cath Jnrs M/C
