My name is Robert Douglas Eddy. I go by Doug. Alex Catto, wife Ruth, was my Uncle and oldest broter of Douglas. Alex and Ruth had two children: Alexander (Sandy) and Susan.
Alex and Ruth resided in Yarmouth Port, MA.

My family lineage encompases Eddy's, Catto's and Bremner's.

I dearly hope that someone familiar with the family reads and responds to this message.

Hi Trayna,

My grandmother was a Catto from Aberdeenshire.

I tried to email you some information but it bounced back, saying the username cattotrees doesn't exist at yahoo.com. Do you have a new one. I did replace the # with an @ in case you were wondering.

Barbara.

Yes, Thank you so much. I believe this is the exact family. I am just trying to fill out a Family Tree that I have done by Raylene PADGETT, who grandmother, Violet EDMOND was a sister to my Grandmother, Annie Moir EDMOND. The Family Tree is on the Descendants of William EDMOND born about 1760 in Perthshire.
We have an EDMOND/STABLES Forum started and anyone can join, but have to be sent, by myself their name and E-mail address to Ian McDONALD who's ancestors married into the EDMOND family.
Other family connections are FORSYTH/DUNCAN/STABLES/FOWLIE/ROLLO/TOBIN/PIRIE/CRUICKSHANK,just to name a few.
I can be reached at lorneanderson@shaw.ca. I also have both my EDMOND and STABLES Tree ( a work in progress) on Ancestry.com

Re: Calling all CATTO families originating in Scotland

trayna — 2011-05-29 13:11:46Z

Robert EDMOND (1825-1906) m Christina CATTO (c1828-1902).
They had 7 children that I have listed
-James b 8 Sept 1852 Newhills
-William b 14 Feb 1855 Newhills
-Margaret Young b 8 Dec 1857 Newhills
-Alexander b 26 Feb 1860 Newhills
-Isabella Williamson b 6 Sept 1863 Newhills
-Elizabeth Rae b 2 Jan 1866 Newhills
-Jane Ann b c1875 Fintray

Christina (or Christian as listed both ways) CATTO is supposedly the daughter of an Alexander CATTO & a Jane MITCHELL but this is third party info & I have not sourced it myself.

Hope this helps

Hi Marj
I don't think I had your previous email address.
I have made no progress on this line for some time so I have nothing to add except perhaps that Elspet Craig was baptised on the 26th of June 1737 in Banchory Devenick

Hi Colin, We corresponded last year, I have a new email & username.
Re; William Catto born 1762 who married Jean Moir, son of James Catto 1736 & Elspet Craig. I had information for you but couldn't link it to my family, I have since found more stuff that appears to link my GGG Grandfather Alexander born abt1770, as a brother to William 1762 and that there was another brother George who married Margaret Barroch in 1786.
I have no proof but will keep looking.

My G-grandfather was William F Catto from Aberdeenshire (born about 1886). Our line ended up in the mid-atlantic region of the US. The family story is that his father was James Catto of Catto's Scotch Whiskey. I'm at a dead end....

Hi Trayna

I am looking for more information on CATTOs. So far I have located Charles CATTO as my 6th gr grandfather

Charles CATTO b. 1733 Foveren
married Mary BLACK b. 1732 Ellon

I am trying to find out the name of his parents. I am assuming this is a farming family (so far, that's the trend with all my relations). I am in Canada.

Francis CATTO was the brother of my 4x great grandfather so I know this line very well. From which of his 17 probable children (from 2 wives & a possible 18th from a mistress) do you descend?

Re: Calling all CATTO families originating in Scotland

jaycee1301 — 2010-08-24 16:25:05Z

I may be able to help if you haven't already found these persons. My ancestors also have a Francis Catto and Elspet Marr around early 19th century. Foveran Parish with conections to both Belhelvie and Persley nr Aberdeen (Old Machar Parish).

I believe my grandfather was George Fraser Catto and my father Alan Wilfred Catto(decessed).
George was born 1880 in Aberdeen Scotland but came to Australia and married in 1909 at Waterloo Sydney to Mary Maud Shaw.
George died in 1940 in Fairy Meadow, Mary died in 1972.

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

colincampbell185 — 2010-07-12 16:36:56Z

Hi Marg. I was wondering if you had progressed any new research.
Since we were last in contact through Ancestry, I have discovered that
i) William Catto above was a weaver and that he died between 1841 and 1851 after his wife Jean Moir. Do you have the precise date in your records?
ii)His father according to your records, James Catto is also described as a weaver in William's birth certificate. This would support your records in my view.
Regards Colin

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

yoursnaturally2 — 2010-05-30 22:18:34Z

Sorry Colin I don't have any info about him, but as two of the family married Reids (possibly the same family) you can probably assume they lived nearby.
The person who did the reseach I have has my family as decending from John 1798 but the dates, ages and names don't add up.
Regards, Marg

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

colincampbell185 — 2010-05-28 16:33:11Z

Hi Marg, Do you have any date or place of birth for James Reid, Elspet Catto's husband in your records? Regards Colin

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

yoursnaturally2 — 2010-05-28 03:14:55Z

Hi Colin, There was no other off-spring listed for William & Jean.
The Catto farm is near Banchory but I have just noticed that the letter I have was written 20 years ago so it may not belong to Cattos now. I agree Alexander is probably not a brother of William, all my Catto family seem to be from Banchory area.
Regards, Marg

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

colincampbell185 — 2010-05-27 09:40:45Z

Thanks for your posting. I had John 1798 married Mary Baird 1820 but William 1789 married Margaret Reid 1827 was new to me
I have heard of an Alexander Cato who was christened in St Pauls Episcopal Church in Aberdeen on the 4th of September 1762 but I do not think he could be a brother of William 1762 who was CofS and not a twin. I would be interested to know where the Cattos are farming today.
Also do you have any other offspring of the marriage of James 1736 and Elspet Craig apart from William 1762 in your records? Regards Colin

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

yoursnaturally2 — 2010-05-26 23:24:14Z

I don't know who started the research, it was in a box that I got from a deceased family member, could have been a branch of the family in Canada. I have the same information as you but also that William 1789 married Margaret Reid 1827 and they had 3 daughters Jane, Margaret & Mary (no dates given)the same information you have re Elspth's marriage to James Reid 1812( no children mentioned) & John 1798 married Mary Baird 1820 and a list of their 7 children.
My 3xGGrandfather was Alexander Catto born approx 1770's and his son William 1806 my 2xGGrandad. I can follow the family from William to the present day but as yet am not sure who my 3xGGrandmother was and how Alexander links back to Robert & Margaret 1725. Maybe he was a brother of William who married Jean Moir??? The Catto's are still farming in the Banchory area. Do you have any thing that might relate to my search for Alexander. Regards, Marg

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

colincampbell185 — 2010-05-26 16:04:26Z

I thank you most sincerely for the information you have provided me with. I would love to know where your relative obtained this information from. Do you know? I would also be interested in obtaining the relevant dates if you have them.
According to my records, William and Jean's children were all born/christened in Banchory Devenick, Kincardine. They were Jean 22 Oct 1787, William 5 Apr 1789, Elizabeth 1 May 1791, Elspet 28 Sep 1793, James 3 Jan 1796, and John 26 May 1798. Does this concur with your records?
For your information, I am a direct descendent of Elspet 1793 who married James Reid in Banchory Devenick on 12 Dec 1812 and died on 2 Feb 1880

Re: William Catto m Jean Moir, Peterculter, Aberdeenshire 1786

yoursnaturally2 — 2010-05-26 01:03:56Z

I am just getting started with family research but have some information that someone else collected. I don't know if it is correct but it may help you. Not even sure how it links to my Cattos.
Robert Catto married Margaret Jeffrey 1725.
They had Isobel 1735,James 1736,Margaret 1738,Elizabeth 1740.
James Catto 1736 married Elspeth Craig in 1759. William was born 1762 & married Jean Moir in 1786.If this is of interest I have also their off-spring. I would be interested in exchanging information.

Error in last - make that 12 children to William MURISON & Elizabth CATTO not 13

Re: Elspet Catto

traynaf — 2010-04-09 19:20:21Z

According to my database and remembering that this info is from unconfirmed sources as it is not my CATTO line-

Elizabeth CATTO who married William MURISON/MURRISON/MUIRSON etc on 30th May 1824 at Rathen was the daughter of James CATTO (1758-1828) & Ann STEPHEN (1751-1820) who married at Ellon on 21st June 1795. James CATTO was the son of James CATTO (c1710 - 1788) & Janet MURISON (c1723 - 1801).

Gravestones at Rathen are as follows:-

"Under this stone lies the body of James CATTO sometime tenant in the lands of Memsie died 28 feb 1788 aged 78; Jannet MURISON his spouse died 18 Sept 1801 aged 78. Their son James late farmer Tyrie Mains, died 8 Oct 1828 aged 70; his spouse Ann STEPHEN died 4 Oct 1820 aged 68; Their son Alexander farmer in Middleton of Rattray died 23 Sept 1868 aged 67; his wife Rachel Youngson GEDDES died 13 Feb 1879 aged 71; Their daughter Elspet died in infancy, Isabella died 26 Feb 1904 buried at Ayton, Berwickshire. This stone is erected in memory of the deceased by his survivng issue."

"Erected by Margaret MURISON or SIMPSON in memory of her mother Elizabeth CATTO died 14 Jan 1855 aged 49; her father William MURISON farmer in Loanhead of Memsie, died 15 Nov 1858 aged 79. Her son John FINDLAY died 19 Nov 1884 aged 30, her daughter Elizabeth C SIMPSON died 18 Jan 1886 aged 22. Said Margaret MURISON or SIMPSON died 27 July 1888 aged 58."

William MURISON & Elizabeth CATTO had 13 children that I know of. Interestingly I have a different death date for William MURISON -see grave inscription.

Hope this helps

I know it's a long time since your posting but I have come across Elizabeth Catto(1807-1855) who married William Murison(1781-1855). See attached. They lived in Rathen area also. Do you have a record of her in your database? I don't yet have a link to Janet Murison that you mentioned.

Re: Father of Keith Catto

Hi Hazel

Thanks for your reply. Keith Catto was married in 1761 before birth certificates so I am not sure about the birth date. Can you explain? We have also searched for his baptism in Portsmouth. We think he must descend from Catto families in Aberdeen but so far have not been able to find a link. I keep looking.

Best regards
Tony Harris

Re: CATTO

Fiona_Bathgate — 2010-01-30 14:38:04Z

Hello Hazel

Please be aware that as the userid of the OP is not hyperlinked he is probably no longer a member of these boards and so will not reply.

Also there will not be a birth cert for someone born in 1740 - civil reg started in 1837 in England and Wales and 1855 in Scotland. At best you will have to search through Parish Registers but that will be time consuming if you have no idea where he was born (but you do know when?) or where his parents went to church

Re: CATTO

HazelAbbott59 — 2010-01-30 14:14:38Z

Keith Catto was born in 1740 (Married Margaret Forbes in 1761 in Portsea) and lived in Gosport. We are searching for his birth certificate to find out who his father is, so we can proceed up the tree, do you have this information please? Keith and Margaret had 12 children but we cannot find any siblings for Keith.

My partner James Keith Catto originally came from Grays, Essex and his grandfather George had a sister called Emma, who married a Thomas Harris in Grays, is this your family?

Jim has lived in Australia for many years and at present is in the UK researching his ancestors on the Catto side. He leaves for Australia on 7th February and, if you are from the Catto family of Grays, he would very much like to contact you.

Kind regards
