Hi,
I am researching my CASTLE ancestors from Wickhambreaux, and would appreciate if sks might be able to help me find some missing information, or perhaps even long lost rellies!!
I also have a list of Castle "strays" who were born in Wickhambreaux, from going through the IGI and Ancestry, but would very much appreciate (if at all possible) finding out who they belonged to and how they fit in. I know that this is a big ask, so appreciate any help.
Firstly, in the district lists that are given here on the Kent boards, Wickhambreaux is not listed, so i am wondering what areas are close to it that are listed, and would the records for those places include ones for Wickhambreaux?
Thanks to a very kind person quite a while ago, i have some of the information from the Wickhambreaux parish registers on my Castle's. I also have a little census info.
Brothers: Charles Castle was born 1806, STephen b 1809, and George 1800, and other siblings.
In each case their parents are only given as Castle and Mrs Castle.
However, there is a Thomas Castle b 1801 to a Thomas and Ann Castle, and also a John Castle b 1754 who married Mary Measeday b 1758 in June 1799, and later Ann ............ I believe John and Mary and John and Ann to be the parents of Charles, STephen and George and their siblings. (these are all Wickhambreaux) Ann was an 80 year old, presumably widow, living with Stephen and his family in the 1841 census, still in Wickhambraux.
Would someone be able to find out for me if possible, When Mary (Measeday) CAstle died, what Ann's maiden name was, and perhaps even when Ann died? And when her husband John b 1754 died?
Also, could the Thomas and Ann actually be John and Ann, as i think they had a son Thomas as well. or, is Thomas sr, John's brother? If he is John's brother, did he and his Ann have other children as well as Thomas?
STephen and wife Sarah nee Griggs, and Charles and wife Sarah ........ and their families emigrated from Kent to South Australia, one in 1853 and one in 1855. It appears that George stayed in England. I do not know what happened to any of the others.
I would like to find out the maiden name and parents of Charles' wife Sarah.
The Wickhambreux born Castle strays i have listed that i would like to find out where they belong, if anyone can help, are:
Henry b 1790
Edward b 1805
Sarah b 1818
Emily b 1828 m at St Marys Chislet to James Spratt. (where is Chislet?)
Eliza b 1829
Emma b 1829
Mary b 1830
Elizabeth b 1832
Eliza b 1840
Hoping someone will be able to help me put the rest of the puzzle together. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.
cheers for now,
B
