I would appreciate help in finding my GGGrandmother Catherine Duggan of Tipperary. She emigrated here to Australia prior to 1867 when her first son was born here. She married George Nicol Anderson from Dundee Scotland although I cannot find a Marriage Cert for them. They had 7 children and died here. On the Birth Certs I have found she always puts down Tipperary as her place of birth. According to her age on her children's Birth Certs she was born 1839/40. On her Death Cert in 1905, her parents were John and Cath Duggan. There are a couple of Baptism Certs that could be her. But can't be sure. Any help gratefully received.

Hi Margot . Thank you for your response. I have had my DNA done with Ancestry and have no relatives at all going back generations that are Duggan or Brett. I am also aware of the John Duggan , Catherine Brett Baptism record who had a Catherine around this time. There is another record with John Duggan and Cath Cunningham having a daughter Catherine too. Again , no Cunningham relatives at all. I'm beginning to wonder if she may have been adopted and taken the name Duggan. I don't know. I have been researching her for a long time with no success. No matches on Ancestry or My Heritage.
