McCabe of Brampton
« on: Tuesday 04 August 20 12:44 BST (UK) »
Hello there, I'm trying to find a Catherine McCabe who would have lived in Brampton in 1914, when her daughter Caroline was born. Her address is listed as 46 Gelt Road, Brampton. I can't find her on the Census, nor the electoral roll. Can anyone offer ideas of where I can look?
I feel like having the exact address is a big clue but I can't make it work!

As far as we know, she died a McCabe, and may not have been born in Brampton. She only had 4 girls - Winifred, Jessie, Jean and Caroline. On Caroline's birth certificate, Catherine is listed as living on Gelt Road, Brampton.

Could this be related to the family?

Could she be the mother of Catherine McCabe who gave birth to Caroline McCabe in 1914?

A tree on Ancestry shows his mother as Sarah

EDIT

Tree says mother died 1930 in a mental institution and was b 1863.  1911 has Sarah McCabe in Brampton in a mental institution aged 48 so she would have been 52  when Andrew was born so too old.  Have emailed the tree owner asking if they have Andrew’s birth cert showing his exact place of birth.

Could be that Jessie was Sarah’s mother and Catherine’s grandmother??

EDIT - see reply below - no connection.   Sarah’s mother was Mary
