I'm trying to research ancestors of Enoch Cattle (b 1809 Clerkenwell, London, d 1891 Islington or Hornsey). I'm good with everything below him - his marriage, children and so forth, it's going backwards that's causing issues. On his birth and baptism records (same for his siblings), it only lists his mother as Elizabeth.
From an old family tree someone did 'manually' back in the 1980's, Enoch's parents came from Yorkshire and were called William (bp 19.3.1786 in St Agatha, Gilling by Richmond and he was a tailor) and Elizabeth ... but no other details on her. I've found a William with the right DoB, but he married a Sarah and I've found a William and Elizabeth, but the dates are wrong.
Without any more on her, I'm struggling to find the right William and Elizabeth.
Can anyone give me any pointers please.
Thank you
Jackie

Not sure if this is the right man...... but have just come across this in Yorkshire, Archbishop of York Marriage licences index, 1613-1839 Transcription which gives a William Cattle marriage to Elizabeth Atlay in December 1798. Can you say whether or not you have eliminated this?

Hi Gasser
Yes I've eliminated that one. I thought it was right until I realised my William would have only been 12/13 at the time of the marriage!
It is possible that the old paper family tree I've used as a basis is wrong, but I'm not sure how to find the right details

That's unfortunate! In that entry both William and Elizabeth were of age 21. Did Enoch have any siblings who were older than him?

From an old family tree someone did 'manually' back in the 1980's,
The only resources available were 1851 & 1881 census / IGI / Parish records/ Family History Societies were in their infancy and family knowledge.
with research was done either in the local / city library or what are now Record Offices.
Some of the records were still housed in the local Churches.......

FMP Transcriptions - Christopher Cattle, buried 12 Aug 1823, St Mary Bishophill Senior, York, age 56. (The death notice in the paper gave his age as 57 and 1804 as the year he was Sheriff).
