Hello there Mick,
Many thanks for the information ex IGI concerning William Esdaile Cattley
and quite unwittingly you have uncovered a record problem that I did not
know I had!
Of course, if I had taken the proper investigative root and looked at
Erica's Legacy records for Cattley, or indeed my full works I would have
found him myself but no, I looked for him on a paperwork file which I
thought was complete but obviously is not.
Most embarrassing this because this guy is a member of my own tree!! Woops!
I suppose the penny would have dropped this end (eventually) but thanks to
your work on Cat*leys in Herts and Cambs, you have been able to flag him up
for me.
As it happens, William Esdaile Cattley was one of three children of William
Cattley of Barnet (the Cattleya orchid man) and Barnet of course is in the
County of Hertfordshire (just) but they had no connection with the Anstey
and other Cat*ley families who had been living in North Herts for many
generations.
It looks to be a fair bet that Wm Esdaile was the artist in question as the
dates fit alright. Must get on to the NPG and try and find out if it was
he.
Thanks again .......... regards

G'day Tim,
I have an IGI record of a William Esdaile Cattley, christened 9 Jul 1819 ,
Chipping Barnet, Herts. I have no other information about him. As you
know, the Hertfordshire Cat(t)leys did vary their surname spelling quite
a
bit.
