Subject: [CATLEY] Fw: British army births in Germany
My thank's to David and Liz for trying to assist me in identifying the two
Catleys shown as born in Germany in 1950 in the Army Returns.
This turned out to be a dead end because in these instances the mothers
maiden name is not shown and the trail thus runs dead.
However, I turned to Facebook with which I have had a lot of success in
making contact with Catley's who are not genealagy minded, despite this
research method being poo-poo'd by many.
By examining what little information I had, I could project
possible/probable children of my two targets who would be in their early
30's and highly likely to be on F/B.
Result? A hit at the first attempt and a happy response from Helen followed
the next day with contact from her father Peter one of my target people. The
reason for no information forthcoming from the Army Returns for Germany is
now clear,one of a non fraternisation policy between the army of occupation
and German nationals which prevented marriages until 1950.
All now sorted and these people I now know are members of the James Catley
of Hull family tree. Good old F/B, it has its uses!

Good morning everybody,
Can anybody give me some advice or assistance about turning up information
about birth details of Catley's born to army personnel in Germany in 1950
please? Both parties returned to UK when father's posted back ex presumably
British Army of the Rhine and both have since married and have children.
The very least I am looking for is the mothers maiden name, that should mean
I can at least allocate them to their rightful family tree.
Regards
Tim Cattley
