Dear Andrew,
Many thank's for the update concerning your searches re the Thomas Catley of
Welton (Nr Midsomer Norton) tree and sorry to learn that you have had no
success in finding a link that joins the Thomas clan to that of Emery.
These two Catley trees now join an expanding list where the geographical
location tells us that a connection should exist but there is simply no
archive paper trail available to support this. We have reached this impasse
with both the Lincolnshire and Yorkshire trees but in these instances we at
least have the satisfaction from Familytreedna testing that some common
ancestry exists.
It would be interesting to get a dna comparison for the Thomas // Emery
trees and all it would take, would be a suitable Thomas clan male donor as
of course, we already have Emery's dna on file with FTDNA. I can see
current UK male Thomas tree members on my "All Cat*ley bmd spreadsheet" born
in the 1940's - 1950's and it would nice to think that if located, that one
of them would "jump at the chance" of dna testing however I feel certain
that if said persons were interested in their genealogy, they would have
already found us on Rootsweb and I know from past experience, how difficult
it is to sell the idea of providing a dna sample to a non family tree
interested Catley !
Your contact reminds me that I still have an unresolved query concerning
previous research done on the two trees where Welton tree members have been
allocated inadvertently to the MSN line, did anyone look into this and make
the necessary corrections?
Regards
Tim

Subject: [CATLEY] Thomas Catley of Welton
Dear all,
During the summer I was able to spend a little time at the Somerset
archives in Taunton. Unfortunately I was not able to link up the Emery
and Thomas trees. It seems likely that when MSN church was rebuilt most
of the parish chest records were discarded. Only one volume of
churchwardens accounts survived from the 18th century. But these show
that a Thomas Catley served as a churchwarden in the 1740s. If anyone is
interested I can supply a photo of his accounts, together with another
set of accounts that he signed off. In the Quarter Sessions records
there was also a resettlement order to move a family from MSN to the
nearby parish of Camley, endorsed on the back executed by Thomas Catley,
Overseer and Thomas Webb, churchwarden. Again I can provide photos on
request. I wondered whether it is possible that this Thomas Webb is the
same as the Thomas Webb who was father in law to Joshua Catley, the
dates would fit. Of course there may have been more than one Thomas Webb
living in MSN at the time.
Regards
Andrew
PS If there are any other descendents of James Cately and Eliza Ann Ford
I have had considerably more success with the ancestry of the latter,
especially the family of her mother, Eleanor Fussell and grandmother
Temperance Grist. There is a wealth of documentation for the Grists
extending back to the late 16th century from the parish of Hemington,
near Frome, which I would be pleased to share with any of my distant
kin.
