Wilkins Catherine (Kate) /Fenemore/Harley

Mike Fisher

Billesley Boy
I have Catherine Wilkins born 1834 Buckinghamshire she marries John Fenemore in 1852 Buckingham.
They had three children John born Rotherham, Thomas born Mexbrough & Charles Henry in Stamford LIN before appearing in Birmingham for the 1871 census.
Her husband dies 1887 and she marries as Kate Fenemore in 1888 to Thomas Harley.
In 1891 census they are living in Cheapside. Kate Harley age 60.

In freeBMD there is a death for Thomas Harley ,dec 1895 Birmingham.

I can find no trace Kate after the 1891 census entry :(

have her in the 1841/51/61/71/81/91 censuses
