A Henry Catelyn was shown as a brother by Holley very probably in
error. Richard Sr probably had

Norfolk, Esq." British
Museum Add ms.19149 likewise gave Hester as the daughter of Thomas Catelyn
of Norfolk. The second two
citations apparently derived from the first reference.
There is every evidence that the Harleian manuscript was in error
referring to Thomas, instead of Richard, as the father of Hester.
