I am still searching for living relatives of Henry/William/Susan/Fanny Catt
from England.

Dear Pauline:
that was a good short history of your family. I know that my
great-grandfather was Henry Catt, baptized 1842 in Farnborough Kent. His
parents were William Catt and Fany Meekcoms and he was born in Heathfield,
Sussex. They were also into farming.
Henry and Susan moved to London and my grandfather and great=uncles (Henry
William, Sebastian, SYDNEY HERBERT (GRANDFATHER) George Leonard) were all
born in Southwark, Surrey. As you know the names of borders changed, and
became greater London.
I am sure that there are still Catts about in Sussex, but am not sure they
are related, at least I've not been able to find out.
Henry William married a Mary Warren in 1892. I don't know if they had
children.
George Leonard married in 1905 in Camberwell to a Emily Edwrds. I
actually
sent for their wedding Certificate.
I have found H.W. and Mary in Kent on the 1901 Census with 2 daughters.
Lost them after that, so dont' know of any boys.
I wrote letters to all the Catts in the area - had no positive results.
