Family Catharine DONOGHUE, b. Jun Q 1842, Middlesex, England , d. Mar Q 1902, Poplar Reg Dist, Middlesex, England (Age ~ 60 years) Banns of marriage From 12 Aug 1860 to 26 Aug 1860 Christ Church Church, Poplar, Middlesex, England - From register entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 19 Oct 2019)
Married 27 Aug 1860 Christ Church Church, Poplar, Middlesex, England - From PR entry (image on Ancestry, viewed 19 Oct 2019)
Although shown as aged 20 when this Catharine would have only been 18, but not only does the entry name Catherine's father as John Donoghue, a Labourer but it also gives her residence at the time of marriage as 2 Union Place, Poplar. This is the house this Catharine's parents were living in at the time of the 1861 census, so I think it safe to conclude the marriage was of this Catharine.GRO ref: Donoghue, Catherine to Litson, Samuel q3 1860 Poplar RD 1c 1090
