William was born about 1832.
He appears on the Bolton manifest as William Kate aged 10, but annotated in pencil as Lipscombe.
The Cate family where originally on the manifest of the Lord Auckland (departed 21 Sep 1841) but the wife, Harriet, was taken ill. William's future wife Esther and her family made their trip on that same Lord Auckland sailing.
He passed away in 1900. This profile is a collaborative work-in-progress. Can you contribute information or sources?
