How do All,
Anthony has been doing some primary research on Catleys just South of Cambridge (in Essex)
in an effort to resolve a marriage in London. This has resulted in the nomination of a new
Catley tree which we call William of Great Chesterford.
This activity has drawn my attention to an unresolved emigration to New Zealand in 1875/76
:-
From the Catley database entry supplied by KayH we have a Cambridge
based family comprised of
William aged 41 a leatherworker
Ruth, wife, and children :-
Susanna
Thomas
John
William
Edith.
They departed ex London for Taranaki NZ 24/11/1875 arriving there three months later.
Am interested in which tree William belongs to. My thoughts currently are that he was the
William bt 30/06/1833 St Andrew's Cambridge which would place him as the son of Joseph
Catley and Sarah nee Wilderspin. There is a marriage for a William recorded in 1859 at
Linton which is a few miles East of Sawston (where there is a large clutch of Catleys in
the Parish Records) and a bt for a Susanna in Colchester in 1862, a Thomas in 1864 in Bury
St Edmunds and a John in 1866 also Bury St Edmunds.
Liz: have you anything on this William and family which places him in a known Catley tree?
If I am right about his parentage, then he is a member of the Joseph Catley of Royston
tree.
Also, does anybody have any information on them in NZ? With three sons, it is very likely
that there were marriages and the formation of a NZ branch.
