Hi Joy,
No joy, I'm afraid.
My link to Catchpole is through a Thirza Catchpole from much further South,
around Wyverstone/Bacton, Suffolk. Thirza's first husband by coincidence
was a Bull, but no relation to me. He died very soon and she married
Ephraim Cooper in 1869, which is my Mother's maiden name. Her parents were
George Catchpole from Fressingfield and Elizabeth Moyes.
Acle is way up (in terms of scale in England) in the Norfolk Broads.
Around Suffolk and Norfolk, however, Catchpole isn't at all an unusual name.
There are plenty of them around.
I'll keep an eye open for any leads i find to your interests.
Sorry I can't help immediately
Best wishes
Roger Bull

| | I've seen you mention CATCHPOLE before and now when I saw you referring
to
| Suffolk, I wondered whether Acle in Norfolk was near enough to have any
| significance.
| I will tell you briefly of my interest.
| Annie Gertrude CHANDLER, my ggrandfather's niece married John GADSDON in
| 1899.
| They had Leslie John 1899 and Irene Gertrude.
|
| Leslie John Gadsdon married ? MITCHELL and they had 2 daughters, Maureen
| 1927 and Shirley 1935.
| Maureen married Ralph E. CATCHPOLE at Acle in 1952 and had John 1956.
| Shirley married Raymond SUCKLING in Acle.
|
| Although I have lots of my CHANDLERS in the 1800s I have never been able
to
| trace any of them to the present day, so seeing your interest, I thought
I'd
| have a go with CATCHPOLE, being a relatively unusual name.
| Any connection??
|
| All the best,
| Joy NSW
