Quite right Anthony,
It was number 32 not 23. I looked at the probate records in Chris' Catley
database just to cross check.

Tim. Interesting address. The Stephen family lived at Number 22
including
the future Virginia Woolf, the artist Vanessa Bell, Adrian Bell who
translated Freud and Julia Stephen's children from her first marriage to a
Duckworth of the publishing family. It looked from your posting as if they
had a Cattley neighbour, but the 1891 census gives his address as 32
rather than 23. Still it is quite a short street; I have made the
pilgrimage. On Google maps 100 yards separates the two houses. Anthony

Subject: [CATLEY] Anyone for chess?
Erica, Joan, Ingrid
Yesterday I stumbled upon
www.chessgames.com which sports some 5000+
recorded chess matches and has a blog section named :- Kibitzers Corner
within which there is some discussion concerning a book written by
Phillip.W.Sergeant on the renowned English chess champion Morphy and his
games which are annotated move for move.
Seems that in 1859 Morphy played an H.Catley possibly at the Blackheath
Chess Club in South London.....the games moves are shown.......and that
Morphy won.......very easily in fact........Catley, what were you thinking
about ?!
The blog suggests that Sergeant was frustrated when he wrote his book on
Morphy because he could not find anything about Catley. The blogger
concerned is probably on the correct track when he suggests the reason why
Sergeant could not unearth anything was because the person concerned was
in fact one H.G.Cattley not H.Catley.
If he is right, then I think the person was Henry Griffin Cattley
1821-1897 who lived at 23. Hyde Park Gate, Kensington, London and a son of
William Cattley of Barnet (the Cattleya orchid man) and is buried in
Tonbridge Wells, Kent in a family vault.
