Nigel explains that he did not look for any Cattleys (just Catley) in the
FIBIS records.
The Cattley ref's shown are, what I would expect to find, being three
members of the Stevan of Normanton tree, i.e. 1) Arthur John Cattley. 2)
Henry Chad Cattley. 3) Frances Lydia Cattley.

That explains it - your 26 hits were across the entire FIBIS database
-
They
were in the main ecclesiastical BMD records -anyway none of the hits
related
to the Bombay army records.
Between us Liz and I covered all the Catley search hits on Fibis and on
the
British Library site when we blitzed the British Library. I have just
quickly been through them again and they are all familiar.They should be
on
the Catley database.
However I did not look for any CATTLEY s - my search was just for
descendants of the Midsomer Norton branch of the single 'T' variety. Liz
may
have though.
I thought 26 Catley soldiers in the EIC Bombay army was a bit ambitious -
they tended to be engine drivers, accountants and telegraph office
workers!
Lots of Accountants - which probably explains my career!
