I had a look at
http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast
for any references to this family but did not come up with anything. I
think they are continuing to add more digitised papers to this site so
it may be worth checking occasionally if you have not looked at it
before.

I have been working on a Catley branch in the Oldham area of Lancashire
who originate from my Lincolnshire ?Kirton? line.
Of these individuals I have one chap who goes missing after appearing in
the UK 1911 census with his parents George William Catley & Alice Bailey.
He is George Robert CATLEY ? GRO Birth Jun Qtr 1903, Oldham Reg-Dist,
Lancs.
Looking outside the UK I have come across a number of records for a
?George Robert CATLEY? down in New Zealand.
Via the online New Zealand BMD indexes I have obtained 1 marriage
reference and 1 death reference for a ?George Robert CATLEY?
The death entry for the George Robert CATLEY was recorded in 1982 and
gives his date of birth as 16 April 1903 which fits with the UK GRO Birth
Index reference. Unfortunately the NZ entry does not give any further
information as to where he might have been born etc.
With regard to the marriage entry, the details simply reveal that in 1923,
George Robert Catley married Mary Beatrice Zealandia Wyatt (who I have
ascertained is recorded in the NZ BMD?s as having been born on 2 Nov 1899,
to George & Alice Maud Wyatt).
Mary Beatrice Zealandia Catley died in 1990 ? the death entry carrying her
date of birth listed above.
Using Ancestry?s Electoral Roll data gives a run of entries for both
parties.
In the 1930?s George R and Mary B Z appear together in Auckand at the same
address at which time George R was a ?dairyman?.
However, by the 1940?s George R is now listed with a Clarice Thelma Catley
in the North Shore area of Auckland with the occupation of ?confectioner?.
I have not been able to find details of a possible 2nd marriage because of
an 80 year rule that ensures privacy rights.
It may be that George R and Mary B Z were divorced.
Clarice Thelma Catley died in 1979, having been born 13 April 1904.
Prior to his death in 1982, the electoral roll records George R living
alone at 89 Macintyre Street, Waikato, Hamilton East in 1981.
That Mary B Z was living on her own at 27 Arundel Street, Roskill,
Auckland.
Has anyone knowledge of these individuals and whether there are any known
issue?
