The closest one I see is Katherine Devaney from the village of Boyogonnell in Bellavary which is in the Castlebar area. Typically immigrants gave the name of closest big town for the ships register. There are several different variations of Catharine so you have to check them all. Then check the 1901 Irish Census also for more info on the family. http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Mayo/Bellavary/Boyogonnell/711232/ - John Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
