John Catt & Sarah Collins nee Cromwell. 

Stephen and Ann's son John Catt married Sarah Collins on 31 March 1866 at Heathfield. John was a 21 year old labourer, the son of Stephen Catt, labourer. Sarah was a 34 year old widow, a servant, son of Thomas Cromwell, labourer.

This was Sarah's second marriage. Sarah Cromwell had married George Collins on 20 February 1848, George Collins died aged 40 and was buried on 21 May 1865 in Heathfield. 

In 1871 John and Sarah were living at Colliers Green, Warbleton where 26 year old John was an agricultural labourer. Sarah was 47 years old. In 1881 they were living at Buckhill Road, Warbleton.

In 1901 John and Sarah were at Harts Yard, Wartling. John, aged 54, was a general farm labourer. His wife was 81 years old. 

Sarah Catt of Wartling, died aged 84 years old and was buried on 30 October 1903 at Heathfield. 

Charles Catt & Mercy Wrenn

In 1861 Charles Catt was a 13 year old agricultural labourer living with his parents in Little Markley, Warbleton. 

I had previously thought that Stephen and Ann's son Charles Catt married Mary Ann Elliott on 22 February 1868. However the marriage certificate and that of his subsequent marriage (after Mary Ann Catt died in 1872 aged only 23)  shows that this Charles Catt was the son of Benjamin Catt, labourer. 

Stephen & Ann's son Charles actually married Mercy Wrenn on 15 April 1871 at St John the Evangelist, Bodle Street Green. Charles was a 23 year old labourer, son of Stephen Catt, labourer. Mercy was 22 years old the daughter of Edward Wrenn, postman. 

In 1881 Charles and Mercy were living at Turners Green where William was a brickmaker. Their eldest five children had been born. Their eldest son, born in 1875 is shown as "William" in this census

According to 1911 census, they had nine children, but I can only locate eight

• Louisa Jane Catt. Born 1872 in Warbleton
• Harriet Elizabeth Catt. Born 1 July 1872 in Warbleton
• Charles William Catt. Born 28 October 1875 in Warbleton (Reg Gen Dec 1875 Hailsham 2b 76)
• George Edward Catt. Born 25 July 1878 in Warbleton
  
• Henry Catt. Born 1 February 1880 in Warbleton.
• Flora Adeline Catt. Born 1884 in Warbleton
• Lily May Catt. Baptised 12 May 1889 at Warbleton 
  
• Mabel Alice Catt. Baptised 4 June 1893 in Warbleton

In 1891 they were living at Turners Green, Warbleton and Charles, aged 43 was a brickmaker. Daughter Harriet, aged 17 was a domestic servant, sons  Charles (shown as William in earlier census), aged 15 and George, aged 13 were brickmakers labourers.  Henry, Flora and Lily are also listed. Other researchers have shown Charles and William as two separate sons, but I don't think this is the case (although that would give me the correct number of children), this is seemingly confirmed by the birth certificate below.  

In 1901 Charles and Mercy were living at Cornfords Brickyard, Turners Green. Charles aged 53 was a woodman. Sons George and Henry, aged 23 and 21 were labourers.  Daughter Mabel was also listed.

In 1911 Charles and Mercy were still at Cornfords Brickyard where Charles was working at a woodcutter. The census shows that they had nine children, all of whom were still living, but only Mabel, now 17 remained at home.  

Mercy Catt of Three Cups. Warbleton died aged 73 years old on 26 April 1924 and was buried at St Mary the Virgin. Warbleton. Charles Catt died on 11 September 1935 and was buried with his wife.  

Charles and Mercy's daughter Louisa Jane Catt married Leonard Kemp on 24 May 1890 at Warbleton. Leonard was  20 year old labourer, son of Trayton Kemp, "higgler".  Louisa was the 19 year old daughter of Charles Catt, labourer. 

In 1891 Leonard and Louisa were living at Back Lane, Waldron. Leonard was a poulterer. Their eldest son was six months old. In 1901 they were living at Nille Cottage, Baynards, Cranleigh, Surrey and Leonard was still a poultryman. They had three children:

• George Leonard Kemp. Born 21 September 1890. Baptised 10 November 1890 at Warbleton.  George enlisted in the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force on 23 September 1914. His next of kin was his father who was living in Hamilton, Canada. On 16 October 1919 George crossed from Canada back into the USA. He appears to have been visiting his sister Sybil. George applied for US citizenship on 31 May 1920,  He had previously been resident in Hamilton, Canada. He was 30 years old, an assistant shipping clerk and unmarried. 
• Mabel Annie Kemp. Born 28 October 1892 in Waldron. Baptised 25 December 1892 in Waldron. I had initially thought that Mabel married Frank Joseph Bohn (Jnr) on 26 May 1915 in New York City, but in 1950 they were at Floral Park, Nassau, New York, USA and Rosine Kemp, aged 80 is listed, born in France, she is described as Frank's mother in law. Earlier census returns (1930) show Leonard and Rosine Kemp living at Nassau, New York and show Leonard arriving in the USA in 1919, so I'm not sure this is the correct marriage.  
• Sybil Kemp. Born 18956 in Dallington. Baptised 15 December 1895 in Dallington. Sybil married John Parker, a 23 year old teamster, son of William Parker and Elizabeth Hoey  on 2 April 1915 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The marriage certificate confirms that she was born in Sussex, the daughter of Leonard George Kemp and Louisa Catt. They had five children. 
  

Leonard, Louisa and their two eldest children emigrated to the USA. They arrived on the Caledonia sailing from Londonderry, Northern Ireland on 19 October 1907 and arriving in New York. Their next of kin is given as George Catt of "Glemorring", County Armagh. Their daughter Sybil followed on the Caledonia sailing from Londonderry on 28 August 1908. Her last place of residence was Rose Cottage, Kinnego, Ireland and her next of kin was her uncle George Catt. In 1910 they were living in Manhattan Ward 22, New York. Leonard was an "elevator man". In 1915 they are again listed in New York, but it appears at some point prior they had moved to Canada. In March 1915 Leonard and Louisa cross the border from Canada heading to New York. They show their last place of residence as Hamilton, Canada. Nothing else is known with any certainty. 

In 1891 Charles and Mercy's daughter Harriett Elizabeth Catt was a 17 year old domestic servant still living at home with her parents. Harriett married Isaac Kemp on 30 June 1894 in Warbleton. Isaac was a 27 year old chicken fattener, son of Trayton Kemp, chicken fattener. Isaac was the brother of Leonard Kemp, who married Harriett's sister Louisa Jane Catt (see above). Harriett was 20 years old, daughter of Charles Catt, labourer. One of the witnesses was George Catt, Harriett's brother? (see below) 

In 1901 Isaac and Harriett were living at Dromhale, Killarney, Kerry, Ireland with their two children  

• Ellen Mercy Kemp. Baptised 4 November 1894 in Warbleton 
  
• John Edward "Jack" Kemp. Born 25 July 1898 in Haverfordwest, Wales. John Edward married Daisy Kemp on 12 February 1921 at St Mary, Finchley. In 1939 they were living in Little Wyalls Farm, Dallington where John was farming. Two children were listed. 

Harriett's sister Lilly Catt, aged 12 was living with them. In 1911 Isaac they were living at Cornfords Brickyard, Heathfield (the same address as Harriett's parents). Isaac, aged 43, was a chicken fattener. In 1939 Isaac and Harriet were living at Little Bunces Farm, Hailsham and Isaac, although in his 70's  was a dairy farmer.  Isaac Kemp of Little Bunces Farm died aged 86 years and was buried on 1 August 1951 in Warbleton. Harriett Elizabeth Kemp of 14, Upper Maze Hill, St Leonards died aged 83 and was buried on on 27 September 1956 in Warbleton. 

Charles and Mercy's son Charles William Catt married Ellen Bone on 12 June 1897 at Warbleton. Charles was a 21 year old labourer, son of Charles Catt, labourer. Ellen was also 21 years old, the daughter of Thomas Bone, labourer. One of the witnesses was Louisa Kemp, Charles's sister (see above).

In 1901 Charles and Ellen were living at Goldings Cottage, Warbleton. William, aged 25, was a poulterer's labourer. Their eldest two children had been born. They were still there in 1911, Charles was a poultry fatteners labourer and a further three children had been born

William was 24 years old, a locomotive engine cleaner, son of Samson Levi Funnell, postman. In 1939 they were living at 50, Provident Street, Ashford. William was now a loco fireman (railways). One daughter is listed with them. William Samson Funnell died on 19 July 1977. Ethel Funnell of 50 Providence Street died on 11 September 1980.  
• Nellie Catt. Born 14 September 1902 in Warbleton. Baptised 21 September 1902 in Dallington. Nellie may have married William T Mitchell in 1936. 
• Frederick Catt. Born 5 April 1904 in Warbleton. Baptised 12 June 1904 in Dallington. Frederick married Elsie Sarah Croft on 20 April 1925 at Holy Trinity Church, Eastbourne. Frederick was a 21 year old brickmaker. Elsie was 20 years old, the daughter of James Croft, labourer. In 1939 they were living at 9, Bedfordwell Rod, Eastbourne and Frederick was a scaffolder.

Ellen would have just have been pregnant with another child at the time the 1911 census was taken. 

• Leonard Catt. Born 14 December 1911. Baptised 4 February 1912 at Dallington , son of Charles William and Ellen Catt of Goldings, Warbleton. Leonard Catt died in 1976 in Eastbourne. 

Charles William Catt of Goldings Cottage, Warbleton enlisted in the army on 11 June 1916. In 1939, Charles and Ellen were still at Goldings Cottage, Charles was a poultry labourer. Son Leonard was still at home and was a land worker. Ellen Catt of Goldings Cottage, Punnetts Town died aged 81 and was buried in 18 September 1957 at Warbleton. Charles William Catt of Goldings Cottage, Rushlake Green died aged 85 and was buried at Warbleton on 6 January 1961. 

It appears from what his been discovered about his sister Louisa (see above) that Charles and Mercy's son George Edward Catt was in Ireland around 1908. He arrived in New York on the Campania which sailed from Liverpool in 24 December 1910. He was a poulterer. He gives his next of kin as his father Charles Catt at Cornfords Brickyard, Heathfield. Travelling with him is Flossie Catt, aged 30, his wife. George Edward Catt had married Flossy Walter on 24 July 1901 in Warbleton. George was a 23 year old labourer. Flossy was 20 years old, the daughter of William Walter, labourer. One of the witnesses was George's sister Flora Catt (see below) .

In 1921 George and Flossie were living at 84, Ocean Park Road, Surrey, New Westminster, Vancouver, British Columbia. They had arrived in Canada in 1914 and George was a gardener working on his own account. George returned to the UK on the "Andania" arriving on 20 December 1922. His address while staying in the UK was to be Punnetts Town, Heathfield. Clearly just visiting, but I have not traced his return to Canada. George Edward Catt of Crescent Beach, Greater Vancouver Regional District, British Columbia, Canada died on 2 April 1946 and was buried at Cloverdale Cemetary. 

Flossie Catt returned to the UK sometime after her husband's death, for her return trip was on the "Durango" arriving in San Francisco on 26 November 1951 in transit to Vancouver.  Flossie Catt again returned to the UK on the "Loch Ryan" arriving on 11 January 1956 for an indefinite stay. She was to be staying with Mrs Crump at Beechlands, Dallington. Flossie Catt died in 1956 in Battle.   

Charles and Mercy's son Henry Catt married Bessie Smith on 28 December 1901 at Warbleton. Henry was a 21 year old labourer. Bessie was also 21, the daughter of Samuel Smith, labourer. The witnesses were Charles William Catt (Henry's brother) and Florence Catt. It's not clear how Florence fits in?  

In 1911 Henry and Bessie were living at Playdells Cottage, Warbleton. Henry was a poultry fattening labourer. They had had one child who had sadly died. Henry Catt was called up for service on 1 September 1916. At the time they were still at Pleydells Cottage, now described as Rushlake Green. He was posted to the Royal Field Artillery. Henry fought in Salonica in 1917. He was transferred to the Reserves on 10 September 1919.

Flora was 19, the daughter of Charles Catt, bricklayer. Oddly this is the first marriage where Charles is described as a bricklayer. 

In 1911 Walter and Flora were living at 6, Sandy Cross Cottages, Heathfield. Walter was a bricklayer. They had three children.

• Flora Elizabeth Sands. Born 19 November 1902 in Heathfield.

He was buried on 15 February 1965. Administration was granted to Roy John Sands, sergeant H M Army and Joan Dowling, married woman. 

Another daughter was born the following year

• Ethel May Sands. Baptised 26 May 1912 at Heathfield. Ethel may have married to become "Burgess" in 1934.

Walter Luther Sands of Sandycross Cottages was called up on 25 July 1916 and became a private in the Queens Royal West Surrey Regiment. Walter Luther Sands of Monkhurst Cottages, Heathfield died aged 55 years old and was buried on 6 February 1934 at Heathfield. Flora Adeline Sands died at All Saints Hospital, Eastbourne, aged 77 years old. She was buried on 1 June 1961 in Heathfield.  

Other researchers suggest that Charles and Mercy's daughter Lily May Catt married James Clifford Hedgecock on 3 March 1908 at Warbleton, but the marriage record suggests that this Lily was the daughter of Charles William Catt, so I am not sure that this is "our" Lily. 

Finally Charles and Mercy's daughter Mabel Alice Catt married William John Brook on 3 March 1920 at Warbleton. William was a 19 year old labourer, son of George Brook. labourer. Mabel, at 26 years old was seven years his senior. The witnesses were Henry Catt (Mabel's brother) and Bessie Catt (Henry's wife).

Orpah Catt was the daughter of Benjamin Catt (7 April 1808 to 1886) and Eliza Christmas Wratten (2 July 1809 to 1888) who married on 11 June 1829 at Herstmonceux. Benjamin's parents/Kate's great grandparents were John Catt (30 July 1786 to 1867) and Mary Henty (1781 to 1852). James Catt's great grandparents were also John Catt and Mary Henty (see above) making this a marriage of second cousins. Kate Wilmshurst had previously married Alfred Leeves in 1905 in Hailsham. Alfred Leeves was the son of William Leeves (1855 to 1935) and Frances Piper (1855 to 1933). Despite going back several generations I have been unable to connect Alfred to the Leeves that married into the Catt family (see above).  In 1911 Alfred and Kate were living at Ranmore, Dorking and Alfred was a poultry farmer. They had a son 

• Percy Leeves. Born 15 November 1911. Baptised 7 July 1912 at St Barnabus, Ranmore. Percy Leeves died in 1992 in Crawley, West Sussex.

Alfred Leeves died in 1913 in Whitechapel, London. In 1939 James and Kate were living at White House Cottage, Warbleton and James was a "nursery hand" Also living with them was Kate's son Percy Leeves, a carpenter. Kate Catt died in 1965 in Hailsham. James Catt died in 1983 in Eastbourne.
