There is a death notice in the newspaper for Augustus Finn Harrington, the only and dearly-loved child of Patrick and Catherine Harrington of 8 Great James Street, Bristol, aged 1year 9 months

That address is the same as 1891 census

I need some suggestions/advice. I am researching the Finn family. and Augustus Finn at the moment. I have found a birth in 1890 and a baptism in 1892. His mother was Catherine Finn Born 1848 in Swansea. She had an illegitimate son in 1878 in Bristol called George Gould Finn ( on his baptism it says Catherine Finn and George Gold are parents but they never married, he could have already been married .)
0n the 1891 Census Catherine Finn was living with her son George 13 and Augustus (it says 9 but think it is probably 9 months). I couldn't find Augustus after this ,trying everything. However I have now seen a death in Bristol in 1892 of an Augustus Finn Harrington and am wondering if this could be the same child. I know I will have to order the death certificate but was hoping I could find some link with the name Harrington.
Catherine never married and the census was still Catherine Finn. I can't find her in 1881 though although I found her son George in 1881 living with his grandmother.
Any Suggestions? Thanks
