I have looked carefully at the records and it would be possible that Catherine is from Oldcastle (noting the difficulties in recording Irish native places). Her brother Frank records his native place as Stonefield and notes that his mother is living there. I have checked and it appears that Stonefield and Oldcastle are close to each other and this may explain the origin of the Tormey (Toomey) family that emigrated to NSW under the support of the Hart family
