Information On The Gatty Family

Recommended Posts

Looking for information on the Gatty family. I am doing some family tree research and believe I am connected to the the Gatty family. My mother has the Gatty name as a middle name and Ivor Gatty was her God father. We now think he was actually a relation. I'm trying to find some information on Ivor Gatty who lived in Rustlings Road and was friendly with a Thomas Ward (my mother's Father) who we now think was also a member of the Gatty family. We know Undine married a Ward.   Does anyone know anything about Ivor Gatty or Thomas Ward ?

Undine Marcia Gatty was Ivor Gatty's aunt. She married a Walter Ward in 1884 - here is a link to the relevant page from the 1911 census return:

Here also are probate details for David Ivor Vaughan Gatty, one of his executors being "Thomas Ward, schoolmaster":

The 1939 Register has a Thomas Ward, schoolmaster, born 6 December 1909, resident at 11 Greystones Drive. Also at that address is Phyllis L. Ward, born 16 October 1908, evidently his wife.

Thankyou for  your help , I shall have a look. We have a few of items from Ivor Gatty as they were left to my Grandfather Thomas Ward aswell as a sum of money.  We were always lead to believe that Ivor was just my Mum's Godfather as he was good friends to Thomas. It's only just recently we think that there is a relation link but are struggling to find it. My Grandmother was Phylis Lilian Ward nee Cooper and she played the piano and was a school teacher.

Possibly Norh Bullas may be of interest, as she looks like she comes from a Ward. Thankyou for the help.
