Well now that's an interesting comment Kay,
Your roots are in the depths of somewhere in West York's and Johns in the
wilds of Lincs so perhaps the credence that your distant cousin in Toronto
refers to could mean that all "Northern Cat*leys" do infact share the same
genes.
Is it therefore opportune to start talking about a Cat*ley DNA testing
fund??!
Sincerely Tim

Hi tim,
Here is a comment that my distant cousin in Toronto sent, (Barry Catley)
when I sent him a photo of the Shrewsbury Three...
"It was interesting ......
My own impression was that John look strikingly similar to my grandfather,
Herbert; just a little fuller in the face and, of course, the hirsute
look.
Lends credence that we all came from the same woodpile somewhere,
sometime."
