1841, Overton, Paisley, Renfrewshire

Samuel Docherty, 33, coal miner, born Ireland
Catrina Docherty, 9, born Renfrewshire
Mary Docherty, 4, born Renfrewshire
Isabel Docherty, 1 9 mo, born Renfrewshire
Catherine Carnegie, 18, born Scotland

Catherine Carnegie married John Mclean and they named one of their children Margaret Docherty McLean. This suggests this is my Catherine in 1841.

I then found that a Mary Carnegie married Samuel Docherty in Southend, Argyll, on 4 July 1832. They had the following children:

- Catherine Docherty, born 28 November 1832, Southend, Argyll
- Isabella Docherty, born 1835, Campbeltown, Argyll
- Mary Docherty, born 1836, Abbey, Paisley
- Isabella Docherty, born 1839, Abbey, Paisley

The parents of my Catherine Carnegie were James Carnegie (b Ireland) and Catherine Scott. They also had a daughter named Mary, born 1813 in Southend, Argyll.

Bingo!

My Catherine was in Paisley in 1841, with her brother-in-law.

It's a guess, but I suspect that her sister Mary Docherty nee Carnegie had died and she went to help look after the children.
