Diana , in your last post you mentioned buying a copy of a will. Could you tell me how you go about this please, or do you know if  the will could be viewed at a records office??

Hi Diana, I have yet to find the parents of 'my' James Cato c1804. I have him on the 1851 census with wife Elizabeth and 9 children, occupation canvas weaver,none of whom were called Gideon. Was Gideon an earlier Cato ? and do you have my James on your tree. I have found on the 1841 a James and Elizabeth Cato at Ivinghoe and did wonder whether or not they were the parents of James 1804, I also found on IGI a marriage for a James And Elizabeth Goodson in 1794 which would be about the right time but again no proof of their connection to James. so any help if you have it would be appreciated
Christine

Hello, my Cato side of the family hailed from Tring and were canvas weavers.
As far back as I can find I have James Cato c1804 married to Elizabeth ? c1804
On the 1871 census he is living (a widower) in Tring and has his granddaughter Annie living with him, (her mother was Elizabeth Cato b1831 Tring) and she went on to marry my g grandfather in Lewisham London
I have so far been unable to go back any further.

entrant, not too sure of Gaughans yet as only just started searching, but I know that some of the 14 or 15 children of Phelim and Mary emigrated-like a lot of them did- to America and Canada in the 1940's and 50's. I also know that Gaughan is a very common name in that part of Ireland. If and when I get anymore info I will post it here
