Birth of a sisterCatherine SAUNDERS
about 1809
Note: I have placed Catherine as a daughter of John Saunders, not Andrew Saunders. It is certainly possible she was Andrew's daughter and not a sister to Lucy, but they appear in several records together. It is likely Lucy and Catherine were sisters who married Dunn brothers. Census records and Coolatin records indicate Catherine could have been born as early as 1808.

Birth

Coolatin Estate Census: Rathbawn Townland 1827. John Saunders age 18 No wife Farmer
and James Saunders age 38 wife 28 4 male 1 female child Farmer.

I have designated young John Saunders as the son of John Saunders of Rathbawn because he was listed as one of the residents of the lease on Rathbawn in 1827. He was too old to be a son of James Saunders who was also a resident of the lease. John Saunders, the leaseholder, was not listed as a resident and may have already died by 1827.
