Biography
Catherine was born about 1847. She passed away in 1895.
Catherine Carpenter, 17, married John Toomey, 26, writer, on 30 March 1864 in Cannanore, Madras. Abode: Bangalore. Groom father: Michael Toomey; bride father: Michael Carpenter.
Witnesses: William James (1807-), Charles Cox (abt.1834-).[1]
There are 2 church sources for her death, with different first name spelling and estimated birth years:

Research Notes
Sohagpur where Catherine died is about 3 hours away from Harda where John and Isabelle (Toomey) Wilson lived in 1895.
A possible niece is Celina Catherina (Carpenter) Gaskell (1864-abt.1895) who may be the daughter of Catherine's brother Joseph. I may have a DNA connection to Celina.
