1842 Catherine EAGLE marriage Henry SIMPSON and discussion as why she is daughter of William and Elizabeth

Both described as of Full age - as Catherine is 29 in 1851 census - she looks like she was around 19/20 

• Her father William EAGLE is described as a Painter 
• 1851 she is born Edinburgh 
• 1851 Henry is born Birmingham 
• hence her parents must be 1822 William EAGLE marriage to Elizabeth Sinclair in Scotland
• Wm and Elizabeth married in Edinburgh
• Wm is an artist
• Their daughters Isabella and Sarah were born in Birmingham
• There are not many William Eagle in Edinburgh who are also artists
• 1841 The rest of EAGLE were in Scotland so likely 

Henry is shown as a Farmer - and signs with his mark - in 1851 he is an Ivory Turner

Witnesses appear to be James Goldrick and Richard Grimshaw
