Good day All,
Still pegging away with my Grand "all Cat*ley bmd spreadsheet" and now rounding
up some strays that have so far escaped my trawls.
On example is the above, who I suspect is a member of Merv's "Samuel Catley
(1730) of Halstead" family tree and if anybody can confirm this, would appreciate
your input.
I have her as born 17/11/1902 (birth GRO 4/4 1902 Lewisham RD refers) to Clara Catley -
spinster and there is a matching death, GRO 4/4 1905 Lewisham RD age 2y.
There is a strong possibility that Clara is she, born 17/11/1878 bap't 11/03/1883 St
Anthony's Southwark (see birth GRO 4/4 1878 Camberwell RD) who is the daughter of
William Catley (railway inspector) and wife Sarah nee Pinchard who are known members of
the "Samuel of Halstead" Catley tree.
There is also the matter of a Clara Catley marrying an Arthur Arkinstall (see mar GRO 2/4
1908 Lewisham RD) which could be the above aged 30 or more likely Clara bir GRO 3/4 1887
Greenwich/Deptford RD, the daughter of James Charles Catley and wife Eliza nee Hornsby who
are known members of the "James Charles (1848) of Halstead" family tree.
One way or the other, Clara and illig't daughter Ethel Felecite would appear to be of
Halstead stock..........Derek have you sight of them on your tree ?
Regards
Tim C
