Thanks for the reply.
Thomas lived in Leeds when he married in 1927. I was told that when they divorced he
"returned" to the south of England.
The only trace I have of John Catton is the wedding certificate & that he was a farmer
& deceased by 1927 when Thomas was 40 (probably a rounded estimate as his wife is
shown as 30). That would probably make John's birth date around 1860. I think it may
be this John as he is shown as an agricultural labourer on the 1901 census at 120 Eastgate
Street age 45 with a son called Thomas age 11. That John Catton passed away 1908.
