Researching CATHCART. Robert Cathcart a merchant in Drogheda, Co Louth from
C1820 until his death on 19th Nov 1873 age 80 years. ROBERT his wife MARY
ANNE and their family lived in Rathmullan Road, Co Meath. Robert's is
recorded as a widower at the time of his marriage to MARY ANNE HOBSON in
1861.Who was ROBERT's first wife?. ROBERT records his father as JOHN
CATHCART who occupation/profession is recorded as a baker. Where does JOHN
CATHCART come from and did ROBERT CATHCART have any sisters or brothers.
It is suggested that ROBERT may well have originally lived somewhere around
Ballymena and moved to Co Louth, at sometime prior to 1820.
Is there anyone researching CATHCART that may suggest where to look next? It
seems that at some time in Irish history the CATHCART's most likely came
across from Scotland to Ireland.
Any help please.
