Challoner Douay-Rheims, in English. It relied very heavily upon the KJV. Please see the following cite from the link you provided:

The Douay–Rheims Bible achieved little currency, even among English-speaking Catholics, until it was substantially revised between 1749 and 1752 by Richard Challoner, an English bishop, formally appointed to the deserted see of Debra. Challoner's revisions borrowed heavily from the King James Version
