G'day again Tim,
I hope I have got it right this time.
I do not have any information on James W Catley born Leeds ca 1863.
However as a longshot there might be a connection with James Catley
who appears in the following 1881 census record taken from the LDS
Family History and Genealogy Site. There is a USA connection,
possibly involving a movement to the USA and a return to Leeds at an early age.

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
