But she could have been born as Katherine or Catherine

this looks a good lead, why couldnt i find this

1881 7,Dolphin St South east Leed d 21 image 21
Martin Maher Dublin Ireland
Mary wife Ireland and among others Catherine age 3 = Kate maher on 1891 census


The above Martin is Marton on 1891 census.

Maryb

thanks, i do belive they were origionally from Ireland

where did you get 1881 census info

Hold that a minute
Catherine Maher 1877 still with parents Martin and Mary in 1901and single.

There were two Catherine Mahar's born Leeds.

Catherine Mahar J/A/S 1877 9b 447 Leeds

Catherine Mahar A/M/J/1877 Leeds 9b 50

Mary
Census 1881 off Ancestry.co.uk

is there any other poss or do you think this is the strongest link

so i can scrub Martin and Mary

1891 Catherine Maher 1877 Leeds with parents Daniel 1840 Leeds a labourer and Ellen 1841 Ireland

Address 172,York St North Leeds d26 image 16.

Maryb

was there any one else on the census

do you know if this catherine had left home by the time of the 1901 census

1901 Daniel and ellen still at 172,York St and Kate married looks like Price.

Maryb

1911 1,Portland Road Range Bank Halifax
William Galvin 1872 Halifax
Kate born leeds 1877

They have a lodger says Michael Maker 1885 Halifax think it is Maher .

A Michael Maher 1885 with parents William Maher born 1851 Ireland and Mary nee Murray born Ireland on earlier census in Halifax

what census wa this and was Kate on it

1891 and no Catherine or Kate

1911 census definately has Kate born 1877 in Leeds not Halifax.

Mary

is the only way to find out to order the wedding cert

Looks like it ,unless we can come up with something else.

Mary.
P.S they are going up 6th April I think from £7 to £9 25p
