Hi Kellie,
We have been unable to find Catherine's birth certificate & are unable to confirm her date of birth. The info we have comes from what she passed on to her children - parents James Harris and Mary Ann Cotton, who died when Catherine and her sister Margaret were young. Margaret is 7 or 8 years younger. We don't know of any other siblings either and none were ever mentioned that I know of.
This info is also on the sisters' death certificates.Catherine told family her parents had drowned, but we don't know where or when. She said her father James was Maori and her mother Mary, Irish. Catherine and John were my great grandparents and their youngest son, Albert Hamilton Meizer was my grandfather.
I will definitely check out Antonio and Mary though, as I've found doing family history, nothing is certain!
Cheers, Scallwaggles
