Liz: I suppose you noticed that William Catley's trial was the day after the census. I
have tried to find him in Pontefract but to no avail. I even tried an address search and
looked at the area near the Sessions House; found a police constable and inspector of the
West Riding police but no jail. At least I learned some interesting facts about Pontefract
along the way. There may be an institutional census that is not on Ancestry or The
Genealogist. It is a pity that William's age is not given in the criminal records. I
would have thought that a reformatory school was for young criminals and the brother of
the terrible twins was an adult by 1861. Anthony

Subject: [CATLEY] James and George
Hi Anthony Tim etc
As I said in my last email or so, James and George whereborn 22/9/1831 and christened
along with Thomas 28/6/1837. So I think Tim that what you mentioned about a George and
James being christened 22/9/1831 St Denis York are the same people. I think as they where
twins they weren't sure if they would survive and had a rush job done!!!
There is the marriage of James to Jane Wright 25/10/1830 also at the same church.
When I was looking at the criminal registers for the terrible twins it stated that it was
the county of York held at the Kingston upon Hull sessions. I also noted that there was a
conviction for a William 8/4/1861 for house breaking he got 14 days then states something
else followed by 5 years. Which I took to mean held to keep out of trouble for 5 years.
Could this be why I cant find him on the 61 census.
Liz
