Catherine Bentham from Whalley born about 1872

[sputnik]

I am trying to find the parentage for Catherine Bentham born about 1872 in Whalley Lancashire. She was married to Richard Bowman and I have the 1891 and 1901 census record for them but have nothing before this.

Can anybody help please?

Thanks for these pieces of information. If it's the same Catherine I wonder why she was with her aunt and uncle in 1881 and how the Brennands fit into the family tree?

This looks really likely and gives me some of Catherine's siblings.
