Hello David,
My IGI search fails to identify Sarah Catley bt 21/01/1728 Sawston 1828 (who
like you I believe to be the daughter of John Catlee/Catley and Sarah
Townsend) although both of us know this event appears in the Sawston Parish
Records.
An IGI search for a Sarah Catley 20 years either way of 1717 produces just
two results, both Lincs. Sarah Catley born 1717 Willingham and Sara Catley
born 1717 Bottesford.
If Errol Bevan had been working from parish records, it would have been as
plain as a pikestaff, given the proximity of Thriplow to Fowlmere to Sawston
and the eleven year distance between a birth in 1717 as opposed to that of
1828, that the Sawston Sarah age 19 is a far more likely candidate than a 30
year old Bottesford one !
Maybe an e-mail to him asking for confirmation as to why he has discounted
Sarah Catley bt 1728 in favour of Saha Catley bt 1717 would produce an
interesting answer?
Regards
Tim

Subject: [CATLEY] Lincolnshire or Cambridgeshire ?
Dear Listers
Hi
George Barker of "Fullmire" ie Fowlmere Cambridgeshire wed Sarah Cattley
at Thriplow/Thriploe Cambridgeshire
on 9May1747.
I had believed that Sarah Cattley was the Sarah christened at Sawston
Cambridgeshire on 21January 1728 the
daughter of John Catlee and Sarah Townsend of Sawston.
I have long sought a connection with John Catley Barker of Gainsborough
son of William and Mary Barker a mariner
of Scarborough Yorks to no avail , but it appeared that of all the ten
children born to the George and Sarah Barker
at Fowlmere the only boy to survive infancy was called George.I had hoped
for a link through him.
However I have come across another claimed origin for this Sarah Cattley
on the LDS Family search Pedigree
resource file which also appears on the internet site below .
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=bevangeneal...
The claim is that Sarah is the daughter of Ric Catley of Bottesford
Lincolnshire (see the Catley database entry by Mick )
Bottesford is now part of Scunthorpe , St Peter ad Vincula parish
.Although the Lincolnshire origin is attractive this site
only lists one child a girl Sarah Elizabeth Barker ch 1Dec 1748.
When I was in Cambridge archives I recorded this child as plain Sarah
Barker but also found a second Sarah who was
christened on 11May 1760 to George and Mary .Unusual to have two living
with the same name.
Also I recorded the Mother Sarahs death at Fowlmere age 59y or 69y
(unclear)on12 Oct1785
NBI has 59y which is young for Bottesford although 69y would be close.
Are any Listers who are interested in these trees able to shed any light
on the various merits of the two candidates .
Any advice or ideas would be more than welcome .
Best Regards Dave Barker
