Re: MacNeil's and O'Handley's Boularderie/Boisdale

Hello Sandra,
We might be able to find out which Catherine she was through a process of elimination. Here is what I know about her. Do you have any additional dates for her children? A vital for them may tell us something about her.
There weren't that many Catherine O'Handleys so maybe we can find her on 1871. If we make a list of Catherines who are the correct age then we can eliminate some of them through what we know and then maybe we will be left with her.

Notes for John MacNeil
There may have been two Donalds in this family. The 1891 census has Donald age 7 and the 1901 census has a Donald born in 1891. Some of the members of this family may be missing from the on-line census of 1901.
