was christened on 16 Feb 1794 in Oving, Bucks1. She died on the 10 Oct 1863 in Aldbury, Herts3, and was buried on 17 Oct
1863 1.
Her occupation has been recorded as :-

Recorded addresses :-

Note : Catherine's place of birth is incorrectly given as Ivinghoe instead of
Oving in the 1851 census. Ivinghoe is a neighbouring Parish to Aldbury and this
probably confused the enumerator as he would have been familiar with Iving-hoe
but less so with Oving which is in the middle of Buckinghamshire. Her correct
place of birth appears in the 1861 census and this is confirmed by a corresponding
baptism in the Oving Parish Register.
The surname of Buckingham had survived in family lore but was thought to
have been the family name of Catherine's daghter-in-law (son Thomas's wife Emma).
However research showed that in fact it was from a generation further back but
having this name did help to research and confirm the ancestry.
