Glenys, can I take you up on the offer please? I think I am on to something good!
At least two of my Catlow family members moved to New Zealand in the 19th century, and I am looking for any descendants. The first was William Catlow (1834-1910)
http://www.briercliffesociety.co.uk/paf ... 4.htm#1666 and the other was John Thomas Catlow (1870-1963)
http://www.briercliffesociety.co.uk/paf ... 5.htm#1592The two articles below are for a Burnley (Catlow) woman that I am unfamiliar with, but I think she might be Sarah Jane Binns (1874) who married Albert Catlow (1874). Albert Catlow (of Burnley) was the younger Brother of John Thomas Catlow (1870-1963) and the nephew of William Catlow (1834-1910). This is just a hunch but the New Zealand Sarah Jane Catlow died at age 68 in 1941 and there is also an Albert Catlow who died at age 69 in 1943, so everything fits. I am wondering if it is possible to find Sarah Jane Catlow's grave, or some other information to confirm a connection to the Albert that I found in the NZ death.
