Jann/Glynis
I remember now reading about the property+land owning side of the Midsomer
Norton Catleys but had not realised that they were separate to your clan
(for present) Glynis.
I think that Jann's female line can not be used for Ydna testing more is the
pity, but she makes ref to William Aubrey's brothers line from NZ, is that
the same branch as the Dennis that you allude to?
Apart from a Y dna test using Dennis/NZ samples possibly indicating that the
Somerset Norton Catleys are all of one origin, the fact that Peters sample
does not match any others yet tested, is nothing to be disappointed about I
would think.
Most of the tests so far, have been from the Northern Cat*ley limits of the
name, ie Lincolnshire and Yorkshire etc.
From what I recall, the thought is, that the Somerset Norton Catleys
are
from an early settlement ex London area and that is why I indicated in my
previous email that I do think we need more London/Essex/Kent/Herts Cat*ley
dna input to give a balance here.
I think that we all probably agree now, that the Cat*ley origins are
probably more diverse than we first thought and do not come from one central
origin such as the Priory in Lincs which used the Catley name in circa 1143
AD.
The only way we will be able to get a full view as to how diverse, or
otherwise, the Catley name is, will be more volunteers coming to the cause
and pooling their dna with the rest of us.

Subject: [CATLEY] Midsomer Norton Catleys
Tim & Jann:
William Aubrey Catley is a Midsomer Norton (Somerset) Catley however I
have not
been able to attached this particular branch to mine, yet! The
William Aubrey Catley were more affluent farmers while my gang were all down
the pit! So while they come from the same town they were some miles apart!
Dennis, who is on the list, is a descendant of this branch too and I
while I am
sure a DNA test would prove we are from a common ancestor finding
that ancestor will still be task. My brother, Peter, has done the test but
as yet there are no others who have taken the test that are related to us.
So come on people give it a try because the more people that take the test
the more
chances we can find a connection.
All the best
Glynis
