Hello: I am also researching Catts, that ws my single name. My family
originated in sussex and Kent, then London. My grandfather was Sidney Catt
third son of Henry and Susan Catt (she came from Bermondsey, he from
Farnborough).
I meant to be in touch sooner.
hope we can communicate and find a common link.
Sincerely, Lianne Hunter (nee Catt)

Hi Graham
I am researching the CATT family, but as I am only new to this I will
forward your email to my cousin in England. I will get him to respond to
you direct. He has more information than I do.
Hope this is OK.
