The only online tree that  includes Catherine has her born 1775  and buried 20th September 1865.

No  GRO death registration found and no parish record for baptism found for this tree info. 

The 1766-1846 seems the only one that fits so far  :-\

I hunted all possible combinations and looked at similar records to exclude, they were all red herrings, but some similar names :
Baptisms   Lamesley St. Andrew           1750   Catherine   Cowin
Baptisms   Sunderland Holy Trinity   1755   Catherine   Bowran
Baptisms   Ovingham St Mary the Virgin 1756   Catharine   Cowin
Baptisms   Durham City St. Oswald   1765   Catherine   Cowen
Baptisms   Chester-le-Street St. Mary and St. Cuthbert   1766   Catherine   Coxon
Baptism 2 Dec 1827  BURLISON, William Gowen; child of William and Isabella   

Marriages         
13 Oct 1793  William Gowen = Hannah Cussens            
30 May 1790  William Gowans = Hannah Cousons            
15 Aug 1809  William Counceller = Jemima Gowen            
28 Apr 1800  Thomas Brown = Mabel McGowen            
26 Mar 1800  Martin Wind = Catherine Gowen            
3 Dec 1799  Newton Blythe = Ann Gowen            
15 Jul 1793  Robert Gowland = Isabella Thompson            

So far I think Gadget has the right of it unless something new pops up.
Thanks for all this.

This one seems the closest:

Quote
Baptisms   Durham City St. Oswald   1765   Catherine   Cowen

Is there any sign of possible naming conventions with her children?

Just an update on Gowen. I have found an extensive family line in Northumberland of Gowen. There was no Catherine connection, but it does seem to be a lead to finding her family of origin.
It started with a Will for a farmer/brewer in Felton Northumberland and then a set of marriages and births back to the early 1730s at least.
