Hi All,
I think I have got it!!!!!!!!!!!
Charles Catley b abt 1823 Meesden married Susan Bentley b 1825. She was a
widow previously married to a Bentley. Her parents where William Martin and
Mary Warren they married 31/10/1816 Anstey.
On the marriage cert. it states John Catley as Charles father. Witness
Elizabeth Bentley and William Catley.
Elizabeth Catley b 1813-1822 married James Skipps in 1837 Buntingford. On
the 51 census is her brother William Catley b 1832 Meesden. They where
living in Anstey on the 51 census. Some of Elizabeth's and James children
where born in Meesden and some in Anstey before they went to live in Hornsey
by the 61 census.
Living with them on the 61 census is Joseph Martin and his wife plus a child
Joseph Martin is the brother of Susan Martin.
Could Mary b abt 1801 have been Charles mother and her husband John died
so she married George Appleton. On the 41 census she has Eliza b 1828 Rhoda
b 1834 and William b 1830 living with her. Eliza and Rhoda could have been
nieces or cousin's. William would be her son which fits the bill for William
living with the Skipps. This would also tie in the Elizabeth Bentley as she
married Samuel which was Eliza and Rhoda's brother.
I am now going to get a cup of tea. If anyone can throw some light on this
let me know.
Cheers
Liz
