Catherine was born about 1830 in Castleisland, County Kerry, Ireland.
It appears that she and Jeremiah emigrated to the United States, possibly around 1871 as they are shown to be in England in 1871, so were possibly in preparation of their journey ahead.
Their son Daniel emigrated to America and had tried to persuade his sisters, Catherine & Honora to go as well, but they liked the sound of New Zealand and what it may have had to offer them so the girls chose the latter destination.
Catherine is shown to have died in Pennsylvania.
Catherine's year of birth is not certain - the below census' taken in 1871 & 1880 show the uncertainty as to how old Catherine was at the time. If her birth year was 1830, then she would have been 41 at the time of the English census and 50 years at the time of the US census.
A baptism record shows that she was baptised on 27 June 1830 in Tralee, County Kerry. This could be determined as her birth year so have estimated this accordingly until a more concrete source can be found.
