Is it possible to determine when he entered the USA? Presumably pre Ellis
Island NY. Castle Garden maybe?

Tim: I wonder if anyone following this correspondence and with access to the
1870 and 1880 Federal Census could do a lookup for Alfred Cattley of Ohio
(listed on Ancestry but my subscription does not cover it). It might at
least tell us his occupation. Anthony

Anthony,
There is nothing on Alfred and his time in the USA within the Normanton
Cattley tree notes that I know about, probably because the Stephen Reed
Cattley sub branch is a "dead end" re male name bearing members.
However, there is one small chance on the female side and that is via
Alfreds younger sister Cecelia Susan born 1838 who married a Travers Wire,
1863 Wandsworth. Somewhere, sometime, I have seen a thread for a
Wire-Cattley connection. If there is a Wire family genealogist, it is
possible he/she may have some material on Alfred.

Tim: On Googlemaps Street View you can find "Pleasant Home Church" North of
Bucyrus in the same direction as Chatfield. It is an ordinary looking house
in a similar situation to Alfred's home so possibly the same site and/or
structure. I have not been able to Google my way to any information about
the putative church. Plenty of hits but all to sites using locations on
Google maps to attract custom. I still think you are being a bit hard on
Alfred, who was a teenager as midshipman and perhaps was drinking in the
Crimea to dull the pain from his wound. I would like to learn that he had a
successful life in America. Anthony

Mary Frances C was a younger spinster sister of Alfred's and lived for
another 34 years after his death. I had already found the site that shows
his house in Chatfield, Ohio but no doubt this will be of interest to
Eria/Joan/Ingrid.
Many thanks

Tim: As others have reported National Probate Calendar confirms he died
Bucyrus Ohio on 19 January 1881 and that administration of the estate (£449
4s. 7d.) was granted to Mary Frances Cattley of Egdean, Pulborough, Sussex,
spinster, the sister and one of the next of kin. It throws no light on his
occupation in Ohio. However, if the link survives transmission you will find
an engraving of his house, "Pleasant Home" in Chatfield Township. Anthony

Thank you Anthony, a nice bit of detective work.....Erica/Joan/Ingrid will
no doubt be most interested in this subject.
Suppose that I should have considered Alfred Cresswell C as a possibility
but the penny did not drop! He looks to have been a bit of a ditherer and I
lost site of him going out to India : 20/01/1849 on the ship "Moozuffer" on
appointment to the India Navy Lists as a midshipman which I assume was part
of the HEIC (Honourable East India Company) and he is shown as stopping off
in Aden 17/02/1849 (see shipping note) enroute to Bombay.
Think he must have been following in his brothers (Henry Chadd C) footsteps
in joining the HEIC but for whatever reason, he evidently resigned and
returned to UK. I had wondered if he had transfered to the 47th Foot in
India but evidently not, as the Unit was sent out to the Crimea ex UK via
Malta in 1855.
The letters home ex Crimea by Peter & Julius Laurie I find fascinating,
personal accounts as to life in that campaign.
Not so sure that I agree with you about "the chaplain" that Julius Laurie
refers to, being being Alfred Cesswells father Stephen Reed Cattley. To my
knowledge he never was a chaplain but at the time of the Crimean campaign,
was the Vicar of Bagthorpe in N.W.Norfolk a far cry from being an army
chaplain with the 47th Foot outside Sevastibol!
Not sure what Alfred Cresswell did with himself following his shame in the
Crimea....the rest of his life is a bit of a blank other than he remained a
bachelor I think and landed up in Buchryus, Ohio where he died in 1893.

Tim: This must be a misprint and refer to Alfred Cresswell Cattley whose
appointment as Ensign with the 47th Foot dates from 12 March 1855 (Edinburgh
Gazette). This is the Stevan Catlay tree. He is not found in the 1857 Army
List so perhaps was invalided out. I cannot find his service records on
Findmypast. No wait, "I see that Ensign Cattley of the 47th has resigned his
commission. I am surprised to see that he shirks it. What will the
illustrious Chaplain say." The chaplain no doubt is Alfred's father Rev.
Stephen Reed Cattley. This is from a letter sent by Julius Dyson Laurie on
14 August 1855. He added, "Please do not send my letter the rounds, as I
only write it for you & not for the world in general." Wikileaks comes to
mind! Two weeks later, 27 August, Lieutenant Laurie wrote, "Whose tale was
that about Cattley of the 47th killing Russians & taking prisoners? I have
enquired & nothing of the sort has happened. I am sorry to see that he had
to resign his commission for being drunk on trenches (Dutch courage) but I
expect the story about the Russians was an effusion of his own." Will this
do? Anthony

Hello all,
The Crimean War 1855 :-
Asplin Military History Resources, Casualty Rolls, lists Ensign A.G.Cattley
of the 47th Regiment of Foot (Lancashires) as receiving a slight wound
during minor actions at Sebastopol on 12th July 1855.
Can anybody pin him to a known tree please?
Tim
Anthony, right up your street I would have thought!
