My Catherine Cassidy was born about 1853, which isn't far off and her father's name was John, I assume from Ireland, but have no information about that. I have her Mother as Catherine McDonough, but Hanna could've been a middle name or nickname.
But most importantly, her married name was Fine and she had a son John. What was your GGGrandmother's married last name? Had she been married before? I only have one marriage for my Catherine, but it wouldn't be the first time someone left out a prior marriage. She died of Typhoid in June 11, 1890 at the age of 39. I doubt she is your Catherine, but I may have a reference to another Catherine Cassidy.
My Catherine's mother Catherine McDonough Cassidy was buried in Old Cathedral Cemetary in Philadelphia. Plot J-8-55 shows the owners as Catherine and Charles Cassidy. If this is a married couple, I have no idea how they are related to my Catherine, possibly her brother and sister-in-law? The next plot over was listed as belonging to James Cassidy and I don't know where he fits in either. They lived at 1620 So. 7th St. Philadelphia.
