• Notes

  This person may be a daughter of David Maxwell Doig. Not listed on 1871 census but did not die until 1888 (see below). Apparently not present at husband's death (see below). Death certificate suggests birth 1829. 1881 census suggests birth 04/1821 to 04/1822. 1861 census suggests birth 04/1824 to 04/1825. Calendar of Prisoners Manchester Order Book Ref QSO/2/247 MF10/64: "Catherine Brack Appearing in court in the custody of the keeper of the county Prison at Manchester aforesaid and having at this session been convicted of larceny after having been previously convicted of felony. This court doth therefore order and direct the said Catherine Brack to be kept in Penal servitude for the term of ten years pursuant to the stature in such case made and provided. And this court doth further order and direct that the said Catherine Brack shall be subject to the supervision of the police for a further period of 7 years to commence immediately after the expiration of the sentence of ten years penal servitude passed on the said Catherine Brack at this session for felony pursuant to the statue in such case made and provided. 8th April 1878." This perhaps explains why she was not at home in 1871(census) and 1874 (Husband's death) since it says that she had been in trouble before. In the 1881 census she was in prison at Woking. She is down as a widow which she would have been then. Her age is wrong. She would have served 10 years by 1888 Her death certificate indicates that she died on 14/01/1888. She was living at 18 Bombay Street, Salford (Greengate Area). Her age is given as 58 years and she is down as: the widow of Christopher Brack a machine fitter. Her son Christopher is down as the informant and present at death. She died of Chronic Bronchitis Anasarca (fluid on the legs). In July 1867 she was in Salford New Bailey Prison, convicted of being drunk and disorderly at Bury. Her birth details were given as Dublin 1827.
