Individual Details

Catherine (Kitty) HARNETT

(1 Jul 1903 - PROBABLY EARLY 1950S)

We had been told that Kitty was from Abbeyfeale, Co. Limerick and that she had a brother who was a priest, possibly named Dan, and a sister named Hannie who married a Jack Sheehan. Hannie and Jack lived in Athea and had a family, including two daughters, Mary (c.1923-1993) who never married and Bridie (c.1930-2009) who married Jack Stackpoole. And from Kitty's marriage record we learned that her parents were Michael Harnett and Mary McCarthy.

It appears Kitty emigrated to the United States in 1923 as an immigration record has been located for a 20-year-old Catherine Harnett, daughter of Michael Harnett from Dromtrasna, who arrived in Boston on 1 November 1923. Her destination city is given as Manchester, New Hampshire.

Kitty is named as a witness on her sister Helen's Petition for Naturalization, dated 13 April 1937. Kitty's address at this time was 559 W. 172nd St., Bronx, New York.
