Cecelia Lee Guinness was born in 1840, in Dublin, Ireland, to Arthur Guinness and Amelia Henrietta D'Esterre. By 1850 the family had moved to Exeter, Devon, England, where her father worked as a physician. She was one of eight children born to the marriage.
In 1861, she was living with her maternal grandmother at 1 Wellington Square, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. In 1864, she married Charles Peter McCarthy in London. Charles was originally from Ireland and was a widower after looking his first wife, Sydney, in 1863. They had one child together.
Charles emigrated to America where he was the founder of a Universalist Church in Philadelphia in the late 1860s. In 1871, Cecelia was living at North Villa, North Street, Cheltenham. They had four children, Mary, Charles, Norah, and Cecelia.
On the 14th of October 1872, Cecelia and children joined Charles in the United States, leading Liverpool and arriving in New York. In 1880, the family can be found in Hapkinson Avenue, New York. Charles is listed as a minister. They had three more children, Iris, Grace, and Arthur.
In 1880, Charles gave up the ministery to follow the science of hypnotism, and in 1892, he opened a school for hypnotic study. He alleged that hypnotism had a large field of usefulness and was a beleiver in magnetic healing. He passed away in November 1899, aged 71.
In 1900, she was living with her son Charles, his wife Emma, and their daughter Lillian, in Manhatten, New York.
I am uncertain what happened to Cecelia after this point.
