Can somebody out there help me? Trying to trace back a Catheaine Turner born around year 1845 in a place called Queess Auty, Ireland. She appears on relies 1901 Census his name was Halkett Neaves born 1871 Liverpool, Lancs Catheaine was his mother in law. Tried searching for this place the nearest i've got is Queens County Ireland. Please help fairly new to family tree searching, I know that it's probably a mistake but where can i go from here, as i take it that Turner was probably her married name?

Paula I had a look at the 1901 image, and would say that "Queens County" is a good bet. I also found this on the 1891 census, which seems to confirm it: Turner, Catherine 47 Queen county, Ireland Head West Derby Lancashire Turner, Charles 14 Liverpool, Lancashire Son West Derby Lancashire Turner, Elizabeth 18 Liverpool, Lancashire Daughter West Derby Lancashire Richard
