Biography

Catherine was born on 4 Aug 1825 in Dores, Inverness-shire, Scotland and christened three days later - when the record shows her given name as 'Cathrine'. Most subsequent records, i.e. marriage, births of her children, even of her own death, show her given name as 'Catherine'.
After giving birth to her first two children in Scotland, the family emigrated to Australia where they initially resided in Sydney. It seems her third child was born during the voyage. During the family's time in Sydney another child was born.
Following an unsuccessful business adventure, the family relocated to Queensland, where further children were born before Catherine passed away on 18 Apr 1877, in Brisbane.

Research Notes

There are many more details to add - this is a work in progress - and if others would care to supply relevant information to Grace-883, it would be most helpful.
