I have been trying to find my ancestors' elusive Aunt Kate. I know very little about her. Catherine Thulish was the godmother to Hannah Thulish O'Leary's daughter Margaret in 1880 in Boston at St. Francis de Sales. So this places her in Boston in 1880. In letters from distant cousins they refer to Aunt Kate.... 1890 - Mammie Chinton and I was down the Sunday before last and we had a real nice time but just as we got down there they were going down to Aunt Kate's I asked him how he like Boston he said he like it very much indeed and he is not going back to Lowell again. 1892 - I went down to Aunt Kate's last night and I had a great time. Katie and her chum Maurice Hickey bought a pair of corsets each and I took them away from them and made a bluff to put them on and there is where the fun began. I threw them all over the house and Mary Ann wanted to take my ring and I would not let her and the whole of them could not take it away from me. ... In 1894 Catherine Grady was the godmother to Margaret Elizabeth Tulish - Daniel Tulish's daughter. - this person lived right next door to my great grandfather 1880 (which was the year my greatgrandfather moved to Boston. They have a daughter Katie and Mary which could relate to the individuals mentioned in the letters above.
