Thomas was born on June 11 1685, in Stoke-on-Trent, Stoke-on-Trent, England. Mary was born circa 1690, in Burslem, Staffordshire, England. Catherine had 11 siblings: Jane WEDGWOOD, Margaret Byerley (born WEDGWOOD), Mary WEDGWOOD, Josiah Wedgwood I, Richard WEDGWOOD, Abner WEDGWOOD, John WEDGWOOD, Samuel WEDGWOOD, Anne CLARK (born WEDGWOOD), Thomas Wedgwood IV and one other sibling. Catherine married William Willetts. Catherine passed away on April 27 1804, at age 77 in Burslem, Staffordshire, England. http://victorian.lang.nagoya-u.ac.jp/article/gaskell/pound-edgwood.html Catherine Wedgwood (1726-1804) married Rev. William Willets "...a pastor of the Unitarian Church in Newcastle- under-Lyme...a kindly and cultured man"(2) a man some thirty years her senior who died in 1778. Catherine's mother Mary, after the early death of her husband Thomas in 1739 lived with the Willets in her native Newcastle-under-Lyme and the Willets maintained close links with Josiah Wedgwood and his family, Catherine was at Etruria Hall at the time of Josiah's death in 1795. This close relationship was to me maintained by their respective descendants, as will be seen presently. https://archive.org/stream/personallifeofjo00wedgrich/personallifeofjo00wedgrich_djvu.txt Katharine married, in 1754, the Rev. William Willett, minister of a Nonconformist chapel at Newcastle, a man of culture and benevolence. Willett's library was at his brother-in-law's service, and, supplemented as it was by his advice and instruction, it became a priceless boon to the young student. 1 Nor was it his only resource. Before the days of circulating libraries people bought books, and Josiah's friends were willing to lend them. ... Wedgwood's brother-in-law, the Rev. William Willett, was educated at Findern, and married as his first wife the sister of Dr. Latham. Amongst the more distinguished students were Ferdinando Warner, the historian, and John Taylor, author of a Hebrew Concordance.
