George's children names may be of some use with siblings to George if he had any...
Giles
Grace
Rose
May.
Albert
Florence Victoria.... all the children were born in Australia and New Zealand. Apart from the name May, none of the names were ever use again in New Zealand and Australia
Any help would be wonderful

I'm having zero luck with this one. I've searched for a baptism for George, a marriage for his parents and drawn a complete blank. I don't know of another Lyndhurst in England. There is a Lindhurst but that's Nottinghamshire. My only conclusion is that the family were non-conformist.
Any idea when he emigrated?

before 1863 to Victoria Australia from what I can gather.. Ellen Kershaw and family came out in 1863 then they were married. There was a Castle family on the same ship...have not idea if they were related to him. One of the names was Susan Castle.
Kind Regards

Have you found George on a census in England?

In 1841 there is a George CASLE age 15 son of James & Hester living Dilton, Lymington.
HO107/393 folio 11/23 page 8
Trouble is, I'm not sure that the transcription of the surname is correct. :-\

have found George Castle parents James and Sarah nee Rowlls in anything apart from on his marriage and death certs.
know nothing about his life or history in England.
Thanks

George Castle was born about 1826

I have been searching, but at the moment cannot find a marriage for his parents or a baptism for him in anglican records. Without finding some record like this, establishing anything else is likely to be difficult. At the moment I cannot even determine if his parents married in Hampshire, which doesn't help :-\
What were the other names of the Castle family who travelled on the same ship as Ellen Kershaw. Perhaps they might provide a clue.

Dont know if its any help but Castle is a Traveller name in Hampshire . It might be an idea to try some Gypsy sites, . My inlaws are Castles from Fordingbridge area , they often took their Mothers Maiden name , so can be very confusing
