I know Catherine went over to Canada aged 21/22 from Liverpool to Halifax on the 18th March 1926.
I know she got married and had a son named Earl but I don't know her married name or any details of her marriage can anyone guide or help me.

Go to:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/microform-digitization/006003-110.01-e.php
What you want is:
Title: Passenger Lists: Halifax (1925-1935)
Microform: t-14804
Page 404 of 647

This shows her destination is her employer in Toronto.

Marr records are closed in Ontario for 82y.

Pity she's just Catherine Chatburn and not, say, Catherine Lynch Chatburn.
We might have found an obit or grave for Catherine Lynch Smith or whatever we could check out, but Catherine Smith or whatever would be impossible.

The family are related to the Lynch family in Ireland if that makes it any easier. Catherine's grandmother was a Lynch my husband tells me

A tree on ancestry has her parents as Henry Chatburn and Ellen Lynch in which case this looks to be the family in 1911:-

If this is them, then maybe you could look to see if someone on here has the family in their tree. Maybe they have some idea of what happened to her?
