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

Wow thank you ErikaH. So there is Catherine. I will look into if there is a Patrick Harrington somewhere.. Which paper was the death notice in?

Just for our info - good job George is the age he's meant to be to find the family on census. Census does say age 9 no 'm' after to indicate months but obviously the family

Thank you all. Thanks grey ghost for the transcript good to see.
So glad she has been found in 1881. So in 1881 she is listed as married then in 1891 and 1901 she is listed as widow. I haven't found a marriage yet. and she is still using the surname Finn so who knows!
Argyll/gran. I looking for the name Harrington and found Patrick on the 1881 census in 3 Froome Buildings age 30 and unmarried so did wonder but as you say can't be proven . A great step forward though. If I have the right Catherine it looks as though she may be in prison 1902 and died 1903!!
Thanks again.

CATHERINE FINN. BORN 1848 SWANSEA
You managed to find her in the 1881 Census which is great.

I have found her in 1851 in tygwnbach with her mother Charlotte,she is 3 then in 1871 at 23 I found her as a boarder at 32 Eugene Street,Bristol
I can't find her in 1861, she would have been 13. I can't find her mother Charlotte Finn either she was born in 1826 in Merthyr Tydfil. I believe in 1861 her father Patrick Finn had died so Charlotte and Catherine could be in Wales still or in Bristol.
Any help would be fantastic thanks

I'm not sure if I should have started a new thread with this !

Sorry I have found a Charlotte Finn in 1861 at Wharton Street Cardiff, a monthly nurse , right age and a widow! but no Catherine age 13.
I do apologise but if you can help with Catherine that would be great

Be flexible about her birth year. If you look at 1881, she was saying she was only 27

Also, look for variants of surname……..see my info about how I found her in 1881.

Have you checked the households of both sets of grandparents?

100% DON’T start a new thread when asking about the same set of people ;-) ;-)

As per second post by Abby ;-) ;-)

Thanks for the follow up on posting for Catherine Finn 1861. I still haven't found her.
Erika H. I did try searching as you explained when you found her in 1881 but no joy, thanks for the advice though as I did not realise that could be done, so very helpful. and I cancelled the new thread as you said.

I checked Charlotte's parents side and she is not with them but to date I have not established when Patrick Finn was born or who his parents were so can't check that right now. I am awaiting the marriage certificate of Patrick and Charlotte which may help me.
Charlotte had 8 siblings thought that Catherine may be with one of them in 1861 but haven't found her yet. Thanks

Not sure that a Methodist burial 'fits' alongside the Roman Catholic baptism of son George, unless it was only his father who was RC, which may well be the case, as I rather think he was Irish
