Catherine Fanning
Daughter of John and
Margaret (nee McKenna) Fanning

Birth/Baptism
Catherine Fanning, daughter of John and Margaret (nee McKenna) Fanning, was born May 23, 1871, in the townland of Lissaraw, in Co. Monaghan, Ireland. I have obtained a copy of Catherine Fanning's civil registration birth register record. I have also obtained, through my sister-in-law, Jan McCabe, a transcribed copy of Catherine's baptism record.

To view a copy of the Catherine Fanning transcribed baptism record I have obtained, click baptism.

There is a difference between the Catherine Fanning civil registration birth register record and her baptism record. I have chosen to go with the birth date from Catherine's baptism record. The difference between Catherine's birth date and her baptism date on her baptism record was just two days. The difference between Catherine's birth date and the date her birth was registered on her civil registration birth register record was three weeks later. With Catherine's birth and baptism being so much closer together on her baptism record, I'll go with Catherine's birth date being the one listed on her baptism record.
