Hello Glynis,
Thanks for the additional info and it certainly looks as if Oliver Henry
Catley Master at Arms RN is yours.
Am responding more fully to your private e-mail.
Thanks Tim C

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

> 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.
