Hello again everyone, We have further data on CATHERINE FAWCETT and her family. Faye Logue has generously searched for information relating to the origins of this unfortunate family: BENJAMIN FOSSET, carpenter and CATHERINE COWDEN, both of Moyagh townland, Donagheady parish married June 1 1869 at First Donagheady Presbyterian Church. Fathers were JOHN FOSSETT (farmer) and JAMES COWDEN (labourer}. Witnesses were JOHN ORR and GEORGE COWDEN.
As it seemed that Catherine was a widow in 1893, I looked for Benjamin’s death registration and located his death on March 2, 1886 at Killyclooney (Donagheady) : BENJAMIN FAUCETT 38 years, carpenter, phthisis [tuberculosis] (of some years duration). Registered by his father JOHN FAUCETT, who was present at death. Faye was interested in learning the outcome of the family and searched the 1901 census which offered some consolation: House No. 5, Ardmore townland (Donagheady): JOHN COWDEN, head, Presbyterian, R & W, 56 years, agricultural labourer, not married, born Co. Tyrone CATHERINE FAWCETT, sister, Presbyterian, 50 years, reads, seamstress, widow, born Co. Tyrone BENJIMAN (sic) FAWCETT, nephew, R & W, Presbyterian, 17 years, agricultural labourer, unmarried, born Co. Tyrone Trust this is interesting new data and regards, Len Swindley, Melbourne, Australia Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows 10
