Catherine was baptised at Airdrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Catherine was baptised at Aidrie, Lanarkshire, Scotland on 22 Aug 1913, her parents, Livingstone Forsyth and Margaret Love. Catherine supposedly married William Roberts in 1846-1847 in Hobart, Tasmania. There is no record of a marriage between these two parties. A marragie of Catherine Forsyth to Edward Watts seems to fit, except for his age. Catherine and William Roberts lived in Melbourne, Castlemaine and Bendigo, Victoria. They had 6 children, of whom 3 survived to adulthood. Catherine's mother Margaret Love was also transported to Tasmania in 1825.
