Another reference is to House of Protection for Orphans and Destitute Females in Walcot.

Ruskie I had noticed this birth earlier ...had a search to see if there were any other STORM births registered in the district Cardiff.

Births Sep 1840 
STORM Hellen   Cardiff 26/331

I think it is the correct Catherine Maria STORM in the news item in SA marrying and dying in Vic in 1869 but would have to see the marriage cert to see if there was a reason to lower her age eg if Thomas was possibly younger.  Of course her age may be incorrect on the death cert but parents are spot on.  There is also the possibility that Catherine was unsure of her age.

Oh heck just noticed father is David on the baptisms.  Blast...back to searching.  Of course Catherine made have made an error with his name.  Need to see if David is on the 1841 census.

Something odd...only three David STORM deaths in England to 1927. 

Could his name have been David James or James David :-\ :-\  .

I was just going to say that father is David not James.  :)

It would be interesting to know what Catherine's father's name is on her marriage cert. There is a death in Cardiff for a David Storm in 1845 - year of birth estimated to be 1794 (too old?).

Of course Catherine was only young when 'orphaned' and may not have known or remembered her father's name.

David should be on the 1841. I can't see Catherine in 1841.

It might be that Margaret died in childbirth - looks like dates of death for Margaret and Helen tally.

Margaret Storm who died in 1840 St Roath - estimated year of birth 1801.

If these are the correct parents and correct burials, then I am thinking that there may be earlier children than Catherine and Helen ....

Righto, I found two more possible children also christened in 1839 in Roath (job lot?) - David and Elizabeth.
