I have been researching my stepfather's family tree over the past few years and had a look around the internet again recently. He is the one descended from Catherine Burns via Catherine Murphy. (On his paternal side, he is descended from royalty - lucky bugger's got the lot). I only discovered them a day ago when googling. Suddenly, all was revealed as to why I couldn't find anything on Catherine Sayers and the cryptic references around the place to Murphy. I can't find any more conclusive info on the internet and would appreciate any information that you have on the two Catherines and Thomas Murphy. My email is bernard2000@gmail.com. I have a hunch that Catherine Burns is in the book 'Notorious Strumpets and Dangerous Girls', do you know if that is the case? Regards, Bernard.
