So according to F/S.Org children of William/Elizabeth were;
Enoch 1809
John James 1814
Martha Anne 1817
William George 1819
Christopher James 1822
Charles Thomas 1824

WILLIAM Cattle;
Burial Date 23 Dec. 1825 St. Sepulchres, London
Age 44 birth c 1781

Possible Will?

These are all correct and I believe this to be my William. There is no will, not that I've found anyway. Ann Cattle is the eldest child, born 1802 in Arnold.

There's also Henry (the will maker) to fit in after Enoch.
If we discount the Yorkshire William / Elizabeth as a co-incidence and unrelated, then apart for Ann's birthplace, all other events are in London - St Sepulchre and Clerkenwell.
All the Cattle children baptised in London make a nice set at typical interval. Between Ann an Enoch is a gap of 7 years (if her age on census is correct).

If the Elizabeth Cattle who died in 1841 is the correct one, she would have been born in 1781. She might have been married previously and Ann is daughter of first husband, or Ann might be her illegitimate daughter before she married William Cattle.

Ooh yes, can't forget Henry!

Yes, it is a big gap between Ann and Enoch. I know David (the OP) had looked for any other possible children but didn't have any luck.

As you say, Ann being from a previous marriage or illegitimate is always a possibility.

Jena I asked earlier and didn't get a reply, apart from the census entry  what evidence do you have that Ann was born in Arnold Nottinghamshire?

Other than the 1841 and 1851 census entries, nothing.

I thought the cousin who found reference to Ann on Henry's will, had found something in the records from Arnold, but i can't find it, so I might be making that up!

@avidt - thank you David

Everyone else - thank you for all your comments. William and Elizabeth Cattle are my big brickwall. Family talk has always said the family originated from York, but I beginning to doubt it.

I do believe 'my' Elizabeth was the one who died in 1841 in St Helena Place, Clerkenwell and 'my' William died in December 1825, Clerkenwell.

Enoch and all his younger siblings were born in London (Middlesex), but Ann was born in Arnold as David has said.

Henry Corney, born 1746 in York apparently died in Bombay in June 1777. I found the info on FindMyPast and its from the catalogue 'Parish register transcripts from the Presidency of Bombay, 1709-1948'.

The image is just a handwritten register and says Henry Corney solider.

Can anypoint point me to any other information that may give more details on Henry so I can hopefully confirm if he's 'mine'

Thank you

I thought the trial William could be William Torry Cattle 1804.

Didn't think of that possibility. Something else to look into. Thank you
