Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for information on John Cattell who lived Preston Bagot late 17 hundreds

Hi Maz, u and I must have a close connection as Isaac is my 4x Great Grandfather on th maternal side of the family.

I have visited many of the places you mention and am aware of the graves at Preston Bagot and Beaudesert, but am anxious to find Williams, Nicholas and Mary and Isaac and Ann's graves, as I have visited all the likely places and drawn a blank.  Have you had any success with any of these?

I found the wills mentioned in Cider drinkers posts most helpful, they certainly confirm that Joseph was John's Brother, a fact that I hadn't been able to prove until now, even though they both lived and farmed in Preston Bagot.

I have not done so much research on the Mortiboys, or Hands side  of the family, and have not found any burials at all.

I am aware that some of the family "migrated" to Yorkshire, although, again I haven't followed this up yet.

Good to speak to you, nice to know there are others out there with an interest in the family.

Hi,
It appears we are indeed cousins through the Cattell family, but I think you are a little way ahead of me in your search.
I'm almost sure William never married, I could be wrong of course, it certainly wouldn't be the first time, but I've seen some of his personal papers and can find no evidence of a wife.
Nicholas is much more complicated, in later years he appears on an electoral register for 1837 which gives his abode as West Bromwich, and another in 1839 states Henley in Arden.  But then if he owned property in both places, could he vote in both??  I have investigated one or two Mary Cattell burials, as this is a more common name, but am not convinced they are Nicholas's wife.  I was thinking they might be buried together somewhere, as lots of the others are.
On a more positive note, the wills mentioned by ciderdrinker have certainly been helpful in confirming the Preston Bagot and Beaudersert origins.
I think my next step might be to visit Sandwell Archives to see what burial records they have for the West Bromwich area, as I've had no luck online.

Thanks for this, I have a copy of one of the wills you mentioned yesterday, that of Joseph Cattell, who describes Nicholas Hains Cattell as his nephew, which certainly proves he was John's Brother. I find the handwriting terribly difficult and am grateful to you for outlining it's content!!

I have been through a copy of the Parish register from Preston Bagot and already had details of Joseph's marriage to Martha Findon, but had no idea that he had married again, and now realise I had already found his and second wife, Mary's grave.

William's grave is one I am really struggling with, I know he died in Stratford, he owned property there, I have seen his will, but can find no trace as yet of where he is actually buried.

It's a work in progress, but thanks once again for this possible further generation.

I have also been researching the Cattells of Preston Bagot for the past few years, and have also had difficulty finding John's Father, and am interested in looking into the wills mentioned in this recent conversation, as I had looked at Thomas and Mary as likely Parents, but had no idea how to actually prove a family connection.

I am also having great difficulty in locating some burials.  Isaac, Nicholas Hains Cattell's younger Brother is my 4X Great Grandfather, I know where and when he and his wife Ann died, but have had no success in finding theirs, or Brother William and Nicholas's burials.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? It would be great to be able to get the whole picture.

Hi, It's been a while since your last message here, but I have only recently found my Dolphin connection.  Bridget Wise  born Upton Warren, Bromsgrove (1764) married Rev Thomas Cattell in Leamington Spa in 1797.  Bridget's Parents were Matthew Wise Esq and Martha Dolphin of Birmingham 1735.  I believe Martha's Father was Edward Dolphin. Any connections?

Jane
