Catherine (Kate) Dolan

[aidansrest]

Hi

Can anybody help in finding Catherine (Kate) Dolan prior to 1884?

She appears to have been born in Mount Pleasant, Batley, Yorkshire sometime between 1857 and 1862.

She married David Edwards during the December quarter of 1884 (Dewsbury RD), and the couple had two children - Mary Ann, born in 1886, and Kate (Catherine), born in 1888.
Catherine and David do not appear on a census together, as David died in March 1891 (buried 24th March in St Peter, Birstall).
The 1891 census finds Catherine and her two daughters living in 37 Ambler Street, Batley, where she remained for over 30 years.
She went on to have another child, James, born during the December quarter of 1894.

Her year of birth ranges from 1857 to 1861, and the 1891 census gives her place of birth as 'Nottinghamshire' but the 1901 and 1911 give it as Batley, Yorkshire.

Can anybody locate her prior to her marriage to David - failing that I may have to purchase a copy marriage certificate.

Thanks

Sue

Thanks so much....positive that's her, especially as she named her only son, James, too.

Many thanks
