I have a second subsidiary Catlow branch.
Alice Catlow's granddaughter Eliza Cock, born in Denton, married a Samuel Catlow in 1836 in Manchester Cathedral (much used by Denton people)
The 7 children were all born in Haughton near Denton.

Having looked on the tree of the distant relative of my OH, William Catlow (1882-1941)'s father was George Catlow (1854-1916).  George's father was James (1819-1858), he had a brother called Samuel but he married a Sarah Crossley.  I think Catlow was quite a common name in the area.

Beatrice Mary WYATT was born in 1915 she was one of mum's cousins. The story is that one of mum's aunts went to Australia where she opened an hotel. After a while she returned home to ask all her siblings to let theiryoungest daughter return with her where they would live a wonderful life in a lovely rural sunny place. One brother had but one daughter so said no one sister had twin daughters and said no to spliting them, My grand pater had two daughters mum being the youngest but he had 12 little boys10 younger than mum so he said no he needed his daughter to help look after the boys so that left Beatrice the second daughter of a sister off she went to live a life of hard work as her aunts servant in the hotel. She told her story in a newspaper on her golden wedding when she was still in Australia and very happy

 Abraham Hobson my 3 x g.g.uncle was born in Bridge End, Lockwood, Yorkshire in 1786
Sarah Hobson, twin sister of Abraham and my 3 x g.g.aunt was also born in Bridge End, Lockwood, Yorkshire in 1786.  I have no idea who was the first born, although Abraham’s name is listed first in the parish record of their baptism.  Their father my 4 x g.grandfather was a shopkeeper at the time of the twins’ baptism, although earlier he had been a drysalter.  His will showed he had a shop as well as a dyehouse.
Thomas Tubbs my 5 x g.grandfather was baptised in Sutton, Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1733/34.  He was 5 years old at the time of his baptism, but I cannot find any younger siblings who may have been baptised at the same time so I have no idea why is baptism was delayed. Stephen Spraggett my husband’s 3 x g.g.uncle was baptised in Leamington Hastings in 1797.  He was the 11th of 15 children and died aged nearly 15 in December 1812.
Jane Stanton a very distant 1st cousin 5 times removed was born in Spalding, Lincolnshire in 1837.  Apart from her birth and baptism, the only other info I have about her is that she died in Australia.
John Collett an even more distant 2nd cousin 5 times removed was baptised in Wilby, Suffolk in 1783.  As an adult he became a tailor.

Barbara Wardlaw, the third child of my 4xG grandparents was born in Hemiston on 27th January 1795. She didn't marry until she was 30, to Alexander Brown in Edinburgh in 1825. Barbara was named after her maternal grandmother Barbara Smith. All I know of this Barbara is she was the daughter or Rodger Smith of Newlands in the parish of Kirkliston. Her grandfather John Wardlaw was also from Kirkliston parish and infuriatingly the parish recorder for births at the time decided to only record the father's names.
