Hello Everyone
My name is June Clough, and my mother in law was a CATON, from the Wirral,
Cheshire, UK. Her father was a Francis Joseph Aloysius CATON, whose father
RICHARD CATON was born in Thornton Hough, Wirral in 1863. His father was
another RICHARD CATON and his mother ANN MAHER or RYAN.
RICHARD CATON was born in 1822 and died in 1867, he is buried at St
Winefrid's RC Church, Neston. Although I have baptisms for this family from
1851, they do not appear on any census until after this Richard's death, nor
do they register any births or marriages. So I am unaware of the birthplace
of the elder Richard Caton. His wife was born in 1830 somewhere in Ireland,
so it is possible that Richard could be from there. Richards baptism and
his marriage to Ann Maher or Ryan is really what I am looking for. The
Catons are Catholic, by the way. If anyone has any suggestions or links to
this family I would be very grateful,
June Clough
