• Notes

  This Catherine, as a child of William Nelson and Helena Ann Desmond Nelson, is suspect. Not only would she have been born past the normal child bearing age, they already had a daughter named Catherine who was still living at the present Catherine's birth. The present Catherine death is given as 1903, near to the earlier Catherine's death. My suspicion is that the present Catherine is a duplicate for the earlier Catherine, with an improperly recorded birthdate.
