Hi Mick,Sheila and Candis,
Happy New Year and all that seeing as I am starting this at 23.16 on New
Years Eve (is that sad or what? .... tomorrow is just like any other day to
me!) and will not get it finished until after the magic midnight bell.
I am copying this to all three of you Anstey/Barley/Barkway researchers
because I am in a mess attempting to sort this Tree out to my own
satisfaction and need your collective thoughts on a number of points.
In my innocence I thought this exercise was going to be reasonably simple
... Ha Ha not a bit of it!
I have the following information that I am using for reference:-
David Henry Cattleys version of the Anstey Family Tree 1747-1976 produced by
Roger Tamplin
Candis' own original research attachments kindly sent to me
Micks " " " " "
" "
"
Reginald Charles Cattleys information on his branch which also includes
AnsteyCat*ley information from the Anstey Chappell Family who are related by
marriage.
My problem is that, as I indicated previously, the central core of the tree
agrees for the first three or so generations but after that things start to
go wrong in quite a big way.
From the information you have kindly supplied me, I can draw out bar/graph
plan trees to match the Tamplin Chart but things just do not add up. Now I
already know that Candis has found a big mistake in the Tamplin version
where Charles Cattley has been extended forward by a generation which puts a
question mark against its whole authenticity but on the other hand both of
you are missing big chunks of "left hand side tree" as shown on it.
On e.mail it is impossible to be specific but just as a tester:- Mick
what's happened to the issue from Edward who married Elizabeth Fox?
Candis, you seem to have lost a chunk of Tree following on from William b
1832 who m Mary Watson and also his brother Arthur b 1846 who m Elizabeth in
1864.
It may well be that your original research has discounted the Tamplin
version as too inaccurate to include but if this is the case, I am worried
because it contains too much detail to just ignore. Furthermore some of your
missing information which is included on the Tamplin version turns up in the
form of Cattley Records that I have from the Public Record Office so I know
that in these cases the Tamplin version has some accuracy in areas that you
have seemingly missed.
I have already asked Candis some queries and she has gone a bit on the
defensive presumably thinking that I am criticising her work WHICH I AM NOT.
I am simply interested in getting at the correct genealogy, NOT to prove one
right and another wrong.
Mick, have you got a copy of the Tamplin Chart..... you did not indicate.
Candis tells me she has ... what about William and Arthur then?
We are missing another UK based Anstey Cattley member to assist and
co-ordinate everything and act as mediator and I have it in mind to ask
David Henry Cattley who incidentally is a Gt Grandson of that seemingly
floating Charles Catley who m both Susan Bentley and later Mary Chappell.
I have e.mailed you his address already so why not make contact with him?
Know not if he is up to the task but it is worth asking the question surely?
Sorry if you think I am being too inquisitive into a Tree which is of your
demain, not mine but it IS the 2nd best recorded Cat*ley Tree known and as
such, turns up again and again in so many areas of Internet research and in
anycase I need to ratify it to qualify my PRO Records.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Best wishes to all Listers/. ............. Cheers........... Tim

G'day Sheila,
Thank you for your message. Have I misread the information or is there an
error in the following part of your table?
1.4.4 Edward CATLEY
---------------------------------------------
Birth: 1792
Spouse: Rebecca NUNN
Marr: 14 Nov 1816
Children: James (1792-)
Susanna (1795-)
Joseph (1798-)
The dates for the births of the three children of Edward Catley and
Rebecca
Nunn predate their marriage. My records from the BVRI show them to be
the
children of William Catley and Ann Clark
If there is an error in these records it will explain what may also be a
consequential error in the records for Joseph Catley at 1.4.4.3 and 1.4.7
which have the same birth dates.
