So we have from IGI Joseph Cattermole and Sarah Chatten as the parents of Charlotte Cattermole baptised 18 October 1807 in Sweffling Joseph Cattermole baptised 16 April 1809 in Sweffling Are they the same Joseph Cattermole and Sarah (also from IGI) who were parents of John Cattermole baptised 13 June 1813 James Cattermole baptised 17 February 1822 and are they the 1851 census (HO 107 Piece 1802 - 729 page 13 entries of Joseph Cattermole b 1782, Sibton Sarah Cattermole b 1788. Benhall. How do I find out please? We have lots of Cattermoles on the www.sweffling.tribalpages*com but do not know if they are related. Clive

According to the IGI, all of the following children are the offspring of Joseph and Sarah:- 1. DANIEL CATERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 20 JUN 1819 Swefling, Suffolk, England 2. JOSEPH CATTERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 16 APR 1809 Swefling, Suffolk, England 3. JAMES CATERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 17 FEB 1822 Swefling, Suffolk, England 4. JOHN CATERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 13 JUN 1813 Swefling, Suffolk, England 5. CHARLOTTE CATTERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 18 OCT 1807 Swefling, Suffolk, England 6. CHARLES CATERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 28 DEC 1824 Swefling, Suffolk, England 7. CHARLES CATERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Male Christening: 13 JAN 1828 Swefling, Suffolk, England 8. MARY CATERMOLE - International Genealogical Index Gender: Female Christening: 08 OCT 1815 Swefling, Suffolk, England Don't know about the 1851 census, but it would seem likely that they are the same couple - the ages seem about right for having these children.

Thanks Kath but .... How is it that I apparently obtained different answers from you? In two cases my version specifically said Sarah Chatten but not in the others. You also appear to have obtained more people - I had loads who were children of Joseph Junior or John. By the way after a struggle http://www.sweffling.org.uk/ is now up and running. Any comments please? Clive

Clive, I only got the list of children by clicking on the batch number at the bottom of the page for Joseph's christening and then putting the parents names in as James and Sarah. It's what I was led to believe would give you all children born to the same couple. Perhaps I'm wrong about this. UPDATE - I'm not the best person to ask about new websites, as I'm only any good with things I know, but it did seem quite good and I managed to find your Joseph Cattermole, with wife Elizabeth Denny and their descendants, so it must be reasonably easy to use.

Kathleen and Clive 'Batch surfing' will bring up all children born to people with the same names - doesnt mean it is the same couple though. But it is a very good start. Because the Vicar didnt always put the wife's maiden name in the records, I always leave her maiden name out. I would pencil in the children from this batch, for now, with a note saying they are not PROVEN children (although it does seem likely) until you have better evidence one way or the other. OC

Thanks for that OC. I do leave surnames out when searching on a batch number, but I understand what you say about them maybe not being all one family. As you say, it's a good start to research though. Kath. x

Just checking - have you made contact with the others researching that surname in here? http://www.suffolk-surnames-list(.)co.uk/
