AGH later found she was Catherine Farrelly,possibly born 1930,had me between marriages last known as Gibson (1st marriage possibly Dibanni?). She had a daughter by her 1st husband. Found 1 Catherine Gibson in the death index but can't find an obituary so I have no family info on her. I checked 1930 census for catherine farrelly, 0.With little info I don't know where to go next. Would love to find siblings &med info and even BM &BF info. God Bless... Mary Handley Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
