| Father |
James O'DONOGHUE |
| Mother | Catherine WEBSTER |
| Notes |
Note that Catherine's birth was prior to the marriage of her parents. She was baptised and her birth was registered as "Catherine Webster".
The civil birth record gives her place of birth as "Meskills Pump" [where is that?]. The baptism record gives her mother's address as Friar Street (perhaps she lived with her parents) and the sponsors were Robert Webster [The mother's brother Robert was only around 12, so this might be the mother's grandfather] and Mary Mulley [Mary would be the mother Catherine's older sister.]. The baptism notes say "CELE: J FIELD CHILD AND MOTHERS PET NAME [KATE]"
The March 31, 1901 Census gives her age as 11.
In July 1910 Kate married John O'BRIEN (b. August 1888). He was lost on H.M.S. Laurentic on January 25, 1917. Their three girls were raised by their Nannie (Catherine Donoghue) after Catherine O'Brien's death.
The April 2, 1911 Census record lists her as born in Co. Cork, age 20, Roman Catholic, could read and write, single, living with her parents at 11 South Cross Lane. In addition, the Census records her with her husband living at house 37 in Windmill Lane (Youghal Urban, Cork)
O Brien John, 24, Male, Head of Family, fisherman, Catholic, cannot read, born in Co. Cork, no children and hadn't yet completed their first year of marriage.
O Brien Kate, 21, Female, Wife, Catholic, can read and write, born in Co. Cork
It may be that Kate was recorded in both locations as the date of the Census was just two days before the birth of her first child and she may temporarily have been staying with her mother.
