Hi, I'm a long time coming with my reply to your message. I'm wondering how your
research went? Our family of Cattons were born in Bury St. Edmunds, although some moved
to a different part of England where I was born. My father is Charles John Catton. His
great, great grandfather was James Catton born in bury St Edmunds in 1853. James had
another son called John, born in 1881 but we cannot track any records of him. He also had
a sister called Emma (although she got married to a Taplin and lived in Colchester) Also
another son called Charles James who I believe got married in Ipswich. Does any of this
sound familiar. It's a long shot I guess but you never know.
