Hi Tim
I have Oliver Henry Catley b.1892 in Mynyddyslwn, Monmouth, Wales, son of
Walter Clement Catley and Margaret Samuel, brother of Luther Clement &
Bertie Catley, grandson of David Oliver Catley (b.1850 Writhlington) and
Emily Maria Denning and great grandson of Josiah Catley (b. 1803 Midsomer
Norton) and Phoebe Taylor, which I think would make him my second cousin
once removed!
Whether that makes him Master at Arms O. Catley killed 19 Dec 1939 I don't
know but it certainly all seems to fit. If he is that will be another of my
claims to fame gone to dust!! I served in the WRNS from 1973 -1984 and up
until this point I thought I was the only "Navy Catley" in my tree but that
will join my being the first "Canadian Catley" as a non starter..... Oh
well!
I will see what else I can find out. My elder brother Peter is semi retired
and lives in Windsor so I will try and put him on the trail of Mater at Arms
Oliver Catley and see what we can find out.
Best regards
Glynis

Subject: [CAT...] O.Catley, Master at Arms
The Commonwealth War Graves Comission web pages show an O.Catley
Royal
Navy killed 19th December 1939. His rank was Master at Arms. Age 47.
Liz C's PRO Catley birth lists show one Oliver Henry Catley born Newport
Mon
1892 which "fits".
Obviously below the "100 year Rule" but on a private basis I would be
interested to know to which Tree he belongs and if killed in action, which
one?
Battle of the River Plate maybe or possibly HMS Glorious. Whichever, there
is a
story here and I for one, am interested.
Any details please folks?
