Thank you Anthony for the information which eliminates this Oatley family
from the Catley equation. Fully admit that I am having problems getting to
grips with Ancestry transcription error identification techniques.
As you are aware, my brief is to identify and map out the lineage of all
Catley's both nationally and internationally with the intention of
eventually producing an "All Cat*ley" tree identification spreadsheet which
accounts for all bmd events recorded.
For the past three years I have been working with the research details so
kindly provided by lister members which has accumulated into a work of
15,000 + number of Cat*ley events and resulting in the formation and
identification of some 45 different trees, branches and twiglets.
Have now reached the point where I believe I have most of the main work
completed but am left with a scattering of numerous stray's which need
tidying up.
To achieve this, I joined Ancestry in the foolish notion that I could "mop
up" these outstanding and unallocated bmd events quite easily but this has
turned out to be wishful thinking because in almost every case, instead of a
nice clean identification, I fall foul of some kind of transfer error or
other !

This couple are transcrined Oatley on Ancestry's transcription of
the 1881
census. He is then an unemployed gas manager born Batcombe. They are also
found under this name in 1871 where the initial resembles an O more than a
C. In 1871 there is a sister-in-law Mary Shuff. GRO has an 1847 marriage
at Edmonton between Edward Oatley and Louisa Shuff. Finally, and for me
conclusively, Lydia Oatley daughter of Edward Oatley gas manager was
married at All Saints Edmonton in 1881; the register entry on Ancestry is
definitely Oatley rather than Catley.
I think for once the transcription error goes against us. Cross this one
off the list!

I tend to go with 'Batcombe' - by the way there was an unmarried William
Catley recorded in the 1861 returns in that village (his surname appears
on
Ancestry as CATHY) - he wasn't born there though.
Checking Hugh Wallis's IGI batch numbers suggests the IGI may only have
baptism entries for Batcombe for the period 1597-1669.

In the 1861 census, Edward Catley is a 35 year old Gas Works
Superintendant
living in Southgate, near Edmonton with wife Louisa and children Albert E
born Elstree, Herts age 8 and Lydia age 6 born Southgate. He gives his
origin as Somerset whilst Louisa comes from Newbury.
His place of origin in Somerset is unreadable but ends in ...combe.
Have not yet managed to find any further reference to Edward et al other
than IGI which quotes the ' 61 census and suggests that he was born in
1826
in Balcombe. Somerset.
Can not find a Balcombe in Somerset (there is one in Hants) and wonder if
the place is meant to be Batcombe instead? We have researched and
established four Somerset trees that I know of but none as yet, look to
support this Edward.
Anyone else come across Edward and family?
