Hello Walter,
That sounds interesting. Either a bit of an error by the New York Times
reporter or a deliberate twisting of the facts by the accused E.Cattley?
That would be Broughton, Lincolnshire, not far from Scunthorpe then? I see
that there was a Thomas James Catley with a birth Registered in 1839 in
Linton Reg Dist which could fit in.
However am not sure which Linton this could be.
Was your ancestor Thomas James Catley?
Tim

My ancestor Thomas Catley came from Broughton by Brigg.

Subject: A very naughty Cattley
The New York Times of 17th November 1890:-
Reports that an E.Cattley claiming to be the son of Broughton Cattley of
Liverpool, England, rooming with a J.McAdam of 4thStreet, New York was
arrested whilst boarding a train in Jersey City today, following McAdam
asserting to them that Cattley had stolen a watch and $55 cash and when
confronted, wrote a Bank of Orange cheque to him for $40 which immediately
bounced.
The name Broughton Cattley looks to be a smoke screen as I can not locate
any Catley/Cattley with that Christain name.
