Hi there All,
I have now found a bit of time since the DNA results (no matches) to see
what I could find of the parents (John and Elizabeth) of Zachariah Catley b
7 Sept 1808 Hackney, Middlesex.
I have managed to find their burials with the help of the newly released
London Metropolitan records:
Elizabeth burial 4 Sept 1836, born ~1782; and John burial 02 April 1837,
born ~1775.
Abodes were both Camden Row, Camden Town, Middlesex. This are the right
couple as this is the address Zachariah gave in his documentation in coming
to NZ in 1840.
Their two other children :
Lydia b 4 Sept 1806, d 6 Nov 1807; and Rebecca Ruth (m Henry Bangs) b 20
Dec 1803, d 5 Aug 1835, also both died at this same address, along with a
daughter of Zachariah and Sarah, Louisa Elizabeth b 7 August 1836, d 12 Nov
1837.
They were all buried in St Martin in the Field burial ground, Camden Town.
By the 1841 census there were no Catleys living at this address. Zachariah
and his family were in NZ by this stage.
Unfortunately, I can't find the marriage of John and Elizabeth, or John's
birth. Obviously can't look for Elizabeth as don't know her maiden name.
There are a few other John Cat*leys born around 1775 but can't link any of
them to this John.
Is anyone able to please help me with any more information on this John and
Elizabeth Catley ?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Jocelyn (and Anne Nickless who is also hoping)
