Hello Liz,
Thanks for looking.
Am aware of the Garforth Cattleys in the 1881 Census and infact they are the
subject of some research that Kay Heath and self are doing on Cat*ley
Yorkshire trees.
Whilst some of the names match, I think it improbable that Yorkshire persons
would describe themselves as Welsh when interviewed by the New York
emigration Authorities upon arrival at Ellis Island.
There were a number of Yorkshire mining Cat*ley families in the general
Leeds (Yorkshire) area and of course this includes Marge Cattleys kin who
did indeed emigrate from Seacroft which was not many miles from Garforth and
indeed the Shipping List clearly shows her Grandfather Amos' passage to New
York in 1881.
Thus I still think that the persons depicted on the shipping list are a
South Wales set of Cattleys.
Regards Tim

Hi Tim,
On looking through the 81 census I found Thomas Ezra George and Henry
Cattley. They
came from Garforth originally and where miners.
Regards
Liz
