Hello Liz,
Congratulations on your breakthrough, you must be feeling very chuffed
indeed getting those links together and tying down the family move from
Lincolnshire to Sussex.
When you asked me about what Reduced Ordinance could mean by way of a job
description, it never occurred to me that it could relate to mapping and
survey work because of the spelling differences between ordinance and
ordnance but I guess you have managed to find separate evidence to indicate
Thomas' profession.
Certainly the PRO Lists for Hastings are not helpful with regard to finding
any other Cat*leys that could be associated with yours, I can only spot a
Maud Cattley who both b+d 1876 which is too late presumably to be of any
interest.
There are some Cat*ley BMD's spelt both ways for Dover and Brighton as "next
nearest" locations Registration-wise but they spread from 1870 to 1900 and
are again too late to be of relevance.
I have the D.Meredith Lincs Catley/IGI list per parish and can see all the
Bottesford Catley refrences you mention but Ashby is not listed.
Regards Timcatt.

Subject: [CAT...] Thomas Catley
Hi All,
Just to confirm Thomas Catley b Ashby Lincs 1771 is Zaccheaus dad. His
mother was
Mary unknown she died. Thomas then remarried Ann unknown. Thomas
was a surveyor by trade and on the 1851 census was listed as a Reduced
Ordinance. When he died he left all his goods and estate to his
granddaughter Mary who lived with him. On his wife' Ann's death cert he was
living at 1 Catley's Cottages Hastings.
Has anybody else found Catley's from Hastings in their lines.
Only I have
a Benjamin Catley that married in 1825 and was wondering whether this
could
be Thomas's brother b 1781 Ashby Lincs. If you look at the IGI records you
will find a few children born to a Thomas and Mary at Bottesford between the
years 1771 and 1781 they are mine can any body else relate to this family.
Thanks
Liz
