Further to the recent discussions on William and Grace Winifred
Catley who died in Melbourne, here are the death and funeral notices
for both of them. The Sun (now Herald Sun) is a major Melbourne newspaper.
Looks like they had two daughters so no more Catley names to follow
down the line. Also, the spelling of grandson Steven vs Stephen are
not my typos, they are as they were in the notices.
As I mentioned, I will get their wills and probate papers eventually.
