Hi All,
The following may b e of interest.
Recently I have been given a copy of an 'In Memory of' post card and a photo
which shows Sir Henry Irving (aka John Henry Brodribb).
Sir Henry Irving, actor in England, was said to be an Uncle to my Catley
ancestors who were born in Tasmania to William Aubrey Catley and wife
Susannah Miles.
Our records show that my GGG Grandfather Richard William Catley (B. 1800
Chilcompton, Somerset) married Ann Brodribb in 1827. Their son William
Aubrey was one of six children born in Bristol to Richard and Ann.
So the BRODRIBB connection seems feasible and logical but I am wondering if
anyone else out there could shed some light on the BRODRIBB family and its
connection to the Catleys,
I would be most grateful for any help anyone could send our way,
(If anyone would like a copy of this card etc please contact me privately so
I can send an attachment to you)
Kind regards,
Jann
