Stephen
Catt, born in 1804 in
Sussex or Kent, married Francis
Ridley. Appear to be in Canada around 1854, 55 or 56. They were Primitive Methodists. They had a family of four daughters & three sons; namely
Harriett (
Harmond), Mary (
Fisher), Caroline (
Hodson), Jane (
Stace), Stephen, Henry and Alfred. This information I have obtained from research done several years ago by Mysie McDonald who was an aunt of mine who gives a brief history of Stephen and Henry here in the
Bosanquet area in Canada. Stephen's children two sons, Stephen & Henry both appear on the 1871 census of Ontario along with their
Uncle Henry born in 1816 who apparently was alredy in Canada when the two brothers came. I have not really gotten into researching the family history as others were supposed to be doing this, but I have not heard anymore about it in at least two years. I do know however their is an excellent research centre nearby and anyone who lived or worked in the County of
Lambton would be in these records. Many family members are close by. If you wish the information gathered & recorded by Mysie McDonald, please forward your address and I will send by snail mail.
