Robert Thurgood Catling


At the beginning of the 20th century this was the home of the Catling family. In 1901 Robert Thurgood Catling, an auctioneer,  was living at this address with his parents. He married in 1908 and is recorded at Caius House in 1911 and 1913.

He had two sisters, Catherine Ellen (b. 1868) and Ethel Lilian (b. 1881 d.1945). In 1901 both girls are staying with their uncle, Thomas Catling, an editor, in Lambeth. Strangely however, by 1911, both girls are patients at St Andrew’s Hospital for mental Diseases in Northampton, both classified as ‘lunatic’ from the age of 2. The Catling family including Ethel are buried in Mill Road Cemetery.

These postcards were sent to Miss [E] Catling in 1903 and 1904 at Caius House.
