On the daughters birth certificate, who informed? Was it Kate? Did she sign or make her mark? The registrar could have misheard the name and if Kate/informant could not read/write would not know of the mistake.

Jess, I'm sorry but I think I am going to have to admit defeat on Kate/Catherine, I just cannot find any trace of her, she just does not seem to exist! I have checked the full BMD for 1857, no trace of a Kate/Catherine Dickinson/Dixon anywhere. I cannot find any trace of her on the 61 census, again no Kate/Catherine with Father James anywhere. Good luck with your search. Keith
