Thanks for your message.
Regretfully, I don't think I can help you. The only person named Cattermole in my
files is, I think, the husband (his first name unknown) of Mabel BEDFORD, daughter of
Thomas B. BEDFORD.
Thomas BEDFORD had two daughters, Mabel and Doris, both born in the UK before 1900,
probably in the London area.
Thomas BEDFORD emigrated to New York before 1907 leaving his first wife and the two girls
in England.
A solicitor's letter after the death of Thomas BEDFORD in 1958 advised a list of
people in England that he was leaving nothing to them... and one of these was a Mabel
CATTERMOLE. We assume she was his daughter, but this has not been proven.
The mother of Mabel and Doris was said to have kept a sweet shop in North London. We do
not know if she re-married.
Sorry I cannot help more. Best wishes,
Kenneth BIRBECK
