Hi Erica,
Well well . Had not figured on Henry Griffin Cattley producing a son, let
alone naming him with both his own Christian names and of course we did not
know that Henry Griffin 1st had married, or had he?
The Normanton Cattley branches were very diligent in recording their family
tree, yet here we are with two bits of essential info "missing" i.e. no
knowledge of any Henry Griffin 1st marriage and nothing known of Henry
Griffin 2nd.
I would be a lot happier if I could find a record of HGC marrying but my
limited access to Ancestry has failed to locate one for the British Isles or
France.
What do you think?
Tim

Hi Tim et al,
Right - certificate in hand! Very sad! 13th March 1849, Henry
Griffin CATTLEY male, aged 3 months, Son of Henry Griffin CATTLEY
(Independent). Cause of death: Acute Hydrocephalus 2 days Certified.
Present at death Maryan Hill, Providence Cottages, Camden
Town. (Reg. dist. Saint Pancras, Middlesex).
From :
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/hydrocephalus
"There are two main varieties of hydrocephalus: congenital and
acquired. An obstruction of the cerebral aqueduct (aqueductal
stenosis) is the most frequent cause of congenital hydrocephalus.
Acquired hydrocephalus may result from spina bifida, intraventricular
hemorrhage, meningitis, head trauma, tumors, and cysts."
Used to be called "water on the brain" when I was young. I guess
maybe something could be done about it in many cases today, depending
on the cause.
This Henry did not marry Maryanne Stephenson as I said in my last
email. Question now is who did he marry? I can't find him the St.
P. Marriages nor on a quick search on Ancestry. It's probably there
just mistranscribed, but I don't have time to find it tonight and the
rest of this week looks pretty full on. Anyone else got him anywhere?
As ever ... Erica
