Notes for: Catherine Wycliffe

This family comes from An History of Richmondshire, in the North Riding of the County of York; together with those parts of the Everwicschire of Domesday which form The Wapentakes of Lonsdale, Ewecross, and Amunderness, in the Counties of York, Lancaster, and Westmoreland, by Thomas Dunham WHITAKER. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees (and others), 1823. 2 volumes. It says the first three generations "are not sufficiently proved." Here is the info given there on this family:

Catherine, ob. infans.

I think this Latin means she died as an infant.

Marshall Plantagenet's The History of Yorkshire: Wapentake of Gilling West, in the genealogy of the Wycliffes at Gayles (p. 157), says this:

Catherine, ob. infans.

I am assuming that the Catherine Wycliffe buried on May 14, 1754 from the Parish of St. Dunstan in the East in London is this Catherine. That is only a guess, but it is probably right.
