Kate Carney (1869 – 1 January 1950) was an English singer and comedian who played the music halls in London. She was born in Southwark, London, in 1869 as Catherine Mary Pattinson, and first appeared as Kate Carney in 1890 at the Albert Music Hall in Canning Town, singing Irish songs. She was, however, more famous for her Cockney songs, and became known as the Coster Comedienne. Her act, a mixture of comedy and pathos, included such songs as "Are We to Part Like This, Bill?" * George (b. 1887) * Richard (b. 1889) * William Edward (1891-1915) * Harry (b. 1893) * Kate (b. 1899)
