Vera, I think Elswick is/was part of the city of Newcastle.
In 1871 my Catherine was quite definitely in the household of her son. recorded as Catherine McDonough, mother, widow, annuitant, 62 years. This age does not tally with the death cert and burial record, but I know they are for the same person because the son's address is on both and matches census; also the son was the informant and present at the death.
I think we are talking two different Catherine's. It may be that the one with Peter in census 1851 & 1871 is NOT my family after all
