Hi Greame,
A quick look at The Catley Database will confirm your thoughts, in that it
shows a Leonard & Charlotte Catley had a succession of children between 1851
and 1867.
The information therein shows Leonard progressing from a Private in HM 25th
Reg't at Bangalore and Cannandore and thence on to the HM 74th Reg't at
Jackatalla. He then seems to have had a spell of employment with The Public
Works Department at Jackatalla before assuming the title of Sgt Major at the
Lawrance Asylum, Oolacamund and finally (at the christening of his last
child, Leonard Herbert in 1867) is described as a "Queens Pensioner".
Most of the information on Leonard in India was submitted by Nigel.B, Liz.C.
and Kay.H. and I am sure that you can anticipate contact from at least one
of them.
Regards
Tim Cattley

Subject: [CATLEY] Laura Violet CATLEY in India
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to confirm information received from another source on a
Catley family in India.
My wife's great grandmother was Laura Violet CATLEY b 1865 in India,
and married Joshua(or Josiah) William BALLARD in 1885. They had 3
boys and 3 girls one of whom was Rubye Violet CATLEY my wife's GGrand
Mother. I don't yet know who Laura's parents were but should find out
when the LDS film of her Christening arrives for me to look at. The
information I have been given is her father was Leonard CALTEY and
mother Charlotte BUNYAN but with no sources so this needs to be confirmed.
I should probably search the archives first <bg> but thought I would
simply ask if anyone is researching this family.
Kind Regards.
