The only Sydney Catley birth that I can spot is that of 3rd quarter of 1908
in Camberwell mother nee Stichener but then the records are presumably
incomplete and "your Sydney" from South Wales must be another one.
Miner to Master Tailor is one big change so all credit to him he must have
worked very hard indeed. As for poor young Sydney, both parents dead within
a year and he saddled with his four younger siblings at age 16 (ish) so one
wonders if S.W.Enoch Williams came to the rescue for him?
As always, history unraveling like this reads far better than fiction!
Regards Tim C.

Hi Tim,
In answer to your question yes it is the same person. He went to work in
the
mines, in 1910 he was still in the mines. Then at some point before
1922
he
became a Tailor Master. What I dont get is his wife Mary Jane was
pregnant,
she gave birth March Q 1922 and by the time she was buried 26/5/1922
she
was
a widow. Unless I get the birth cert for the child I have no date of
birth.
She must of had to come from Wales to Kent to see the registrar to
change
the death cert possibly whilst pregnant. Sydney the eldest son would have
been 16/17 years so he would have had to look after the younger 4
children.
I will keep you posted on events.
Liz
