All I have on Catherine is that she was married to a William Whitehouse in the West Bromwich district in the 1856. Hope someone can help this info has come from a member of the family.

Many Thanks
Jean

If you buy the cert, you'll find out if she knew her father's details.

That info, together with her age at the time, should help to trace her on censuses

Have you looked for her in 1861?

Have you looked for the marriage on freebmd........better to do that than rely on third party info, which actually seems to be suspect

As far as I can determine, this is the only instance of a couple with the names on 1861 census

Person: WHITEHOUSE, Catherine Address: Essington, Essington

WHITEHOUSE, William Head Married M 42 1819 Tailor & Farmer Of 12 Acres
Cheslyn Hay, Staffordshire VIEW
WHITEHOUSE, Catherine Wife Married F 38 1823

WHITEHOUSE, Bernard Son Unmarried M 17 1844 Edgetool Maker Ap

WHITEHOUSE, Ellen Daughter F 12 1849 Scholar

WHITEHOUSE, Annie Daughter F 9 1852 Scholar

WHITEHOUSE, Clara Daughter F 6 1855 Scholar
Essington, Staffordshire VIEW
WHITEHOUSE, Mary Mother Widow F 79 1782
Newland Whalley, Oxfordshire VIEW

These, presumably, were married long before 1856

Yes Reggie I have looked on the 1861 census but could find them, unless I passed them by. Thank you for your advise.

Regards Jean
