This last post, Doug is tantalizing, but both Catherine Shore's contain problems.

First, this is part of my "notes" for Catherine Shore Tyndall's husband, William:
-----
The children of William and Catherine Tyndall were:

Eliza.
Robert, born in 1836 in the townland of Coan or Coan West, County Kilkenny, Ireland.
William, born in 1837.
Catherine.
Bridget.
Joseph, born in 1844.
Margaret, baptized March 2, 1848. She married Michael Hayden on January 28, 1869.
Philip, baptized June 2, 1851.

Margaret's and Philip's baptism dates were handwritten in registry books by people in the Catholic parish of Muckalee.
----
Regarding the first Cath Shore you just posted, how could a female born in mid 1820, have a child Eliza, who was apparently born no later than 1835, based on my presumed birth order? Would Cath have gotten pregnant at age 14?

Plus being born in 1820 puts her more than 25 years younger than William Tyndall. Would she have married a man 25 years older than she was?

Also, that first Cath says "Church of Ireland" , but Marg and Phil were baptized Catholic.

Regarding the second Cath, while her year of birth is much closer to that of William Tyndall, how could a female born in 1803 be giving birth at the age of 48, in 1851?
