Catherine's daughter's birth certificate lists her place of birth as Liverpool, in contrast to the other sources which provide a birth place of Dublin. The informant for this record was James Bennett, her husband. He probably misreported her birth place as although she wasn't born there, Catherine lived in Liverpool from a young age.
