I need help. I have come a bit unstuck in my research. I am looking for more information about my great grandmother Catherine Baxendale. All i know is that she was born in 1847 or 1849 in Wheelton Lancashire. She was unmarried with two children Stanley born in 1865 and Agnes born in 1874. Agnes was my grandmother. Also Mary Burk or Burke/Little born in 1853 who was married to Patirck Nolan both born in Carlow in Ireland.
