Hi Marge,
No I don't think so, your ancestors seem to have come from the villages of
Seaforth and Garforth whereas this other Amos came from the village of
Kirkstall which admittedly is also in the Leeds area as well but not local
to Garforth and there could be an older connection family-wise but not
immediately obvious.
Kay Heath is going to have a bash at the Catley records in Leeds and she
might find something useful.
Will advise.
What I sent to you is in straight excel..... have you got Microsoft Office?
Regards Tim

Dear Tim,
Do you think that Amos Catley is some relation to Thomas (My
G.Grandfather) and
that is who he named my Grandfather Amos after??
Also, I can not open the ms-excel attachment (after I down loaded it)
you
sent me of our Tree. I forwarded it to Sandi to have her forward it back
and see if I can download it from her. If you have any suggestions as to
how I can download AND open it I would be very grateful.
I don't have the computer skills you have.
Take care,
Marge

Has anybody got a lead on a James W Catley born Leeds circa 1863, son of
Amos
Catley?
Amos and his wife Sophia lived in the Leeds area but in the early 1870's
immigrated to Pennsylvania USA and then moved on to Kansas.
Son John seems to have been quite a lad having worked on railway line
building in
both Australia and the USA, somwehere along the line he returned
to the UK and married here and then returned to the USA for good. He worked
for quite a number of "Railroads" including The Rock Island Line.
He finally became a storekeeper in Rosedale Kansas.
Have found his gt grandaughter in the USA who would like to know more
about her UK
roots
Cheers Timcatt
