Catherine (nee MANNION) McDONOUGH was born in Roscommon, Ireland, on December 18, 1858. She emigrated to the USA and may be the Kate Mannion who arrived in New York aboard the City of Chester on June 4, 1877, according to Castle Garden records. It is possible that she was employed in the Manhattan home of A.L. Mowry, a builder of cars. (Souce: 1880 Census) She is believed to have married Owen J. McDonough, a carpenter. Their children were Catherine (known as Kate) born January 31, 1883, Patrick who was 13 at the time of the 1900 Census (information collected June 1, 1900), Owen who was 10 at the time of the 1900 Census, John who was 7 at the time of the 1900 Census, and Annie who was 3 at the time of the 1900 Census. Her husband died December 13, 1898 at the age of 49. His Death Certificate number is 34872. Catherine was living at 410 W. 17th St., New York City at the time of the 1900 Census. Earlier NY directories show this family at that address. She died on March 2, 1935. At the time of her death she was living with her son, Patrick, at 325 W. 13th Street in New York City. She is buried in Calvary Cemetery.
