The 1852 canadian census lists a "Zachenes?" Cattley, age 75, b. England,
painter in Perth town, Lanark County, Ont. Could this be Zacheus? I could not open the
actual census page to see the writing but it could be misinterpreted.
In 1856 a Stephen Robert Cattley witnessed a marriage @ St. Georges Parish Church, St.
Catherines, Ont.
The 1891 census lists a Robert Catley, age 45, born Ont., Parents born England, at Niagara
Falls town, Welland Co., Ont.
He was a Railroad Baggageman., Methodist.
Is this too much information? I couldn't find any more about the Zacheus in the
Canadian sites.

Subject: [CATLEY] Machenes Cattley and McCattley
I am sure that many of you must have spotted ref's to the above names in both the
Canadian and American ancestry records?
What do you make of it?
Machenes Cattley pops up in the 1851 Canadian census as British born in 1776 but nothing
more that I can see, meanwhile there is a Michael J McCattley shown in the U.S.Records as
born 1867 in Canada and emigrated to the U.S. in 1874 to Middlesex, Massachusetts. There
is also a Sarah McCattley born August 1881 Massachusetts indicated.
This looks as if it could be a single Cat*ley male making his way to Canada ex UK and
that he married there and that his son emigrated to the US with his child Michael but
produced Sarah after arrival in Massachusetts?
All tentative speculation but does anybody have a better grasp of the actual events?
